Pictured is a Fine Silver* x Lucky Dragon Lady pup courtesy of our friend Jim Jackson of Rockdale, Texas. This beauty resides on Buddy Scitern's farm. It doesn't look like we are the only ones with some nice Silver pups. In fact I am a tad jealous of these. They are absolutely fantastic looking. I don't think you could even hope for better looking pups at their age! And....Lucky Dragon Lady is a Gable Dodge female. We are extremely hopeful that Fine Silver* may be the answer to Dodge females!

Swahili Eile* has had a very busy day. Can you say bi-coastal???? One bitch in California and Greys Dancinlady implanted here today! To Shy To Say is indeed in pup. Now all we need is Dingle to get here and we will have an incredible line-up of some of the world's finest sires from every bloodline imaginable!

Chris Stivers has been working over time to get YouTube videos up on our sires and is linking them to Global Greyhounds Sire Directory. He also posted the Born To Run video!

It looks like the Derby Lane Million is indeed a "go". It will be awesome to see all the entries arrive from Australia and Ireland! I hope we see a Rumble pup in the winners circle!!!! GO BLOSSOM!!!!

Pictured is our beloved Fortress Blue. Blue's offspring had two wins at Palm Beach this afternoon for the B&B Kennel. John Mceuen for Doug Allen and Danica Driver fro myself. Both box to wire wins in convincing fashion. We couldn't be more pleased! Doug and I have a few more racing yet today and I hope the winning ways continue!

Swahili Eile* semen was frozen again today and will be shipped out immediately for a brood in season awaiting him! We have another coming in for him this afternoon! He hasn't been here long and I think he will make some noise in the breeding barn before long!

Brenda Lee is due a week from Friday and is absolutely enormous with pups. Denny, Wanda and I could not be more excited. This is a litter I think we have all dreamt about. A most important litter for sure!

WISHING YOU ALL A BLESSED THANKSGIVING!!

We are taking a quiet day off here and are preparing our Thanksgiving feast to be shared with friends. All of the dogs were given fresh, meaty shank bones to join in the celebration of the holiday. We will be back to business tomorrow at o'dark thirty!

Here are our fantastic Fine Silver* pups with a stuffie. They are featured at 12 weeks of age and show aggression and the will to chase!

For those of you who missed Bouncing Bucky's NOS video advert here it is once again!

Dingle is coming in the next couple of days! I talked with exporter, Tim Keane, this AM and tomorrow we will know the exact flight Dingle will be on into Atlanta. Alf Ashe told me last week that by Friday Dingle would be sleeping in the stud house! Since Dingle's DNA kit has already been applied for and his sire number, I can see freezing semen on him as early as next Monday!!!!

Above is the Night Of Star XX video ad featuring Hondo Dingle*! Big thank you to Chris Stivers for creating the ad and to Kelly Clark for putting the NOS ads together and making it a special night.

As you can see in this month's new issue of the Greyhound Review, Maryville Rumble* has firmly planted himself as a top five sire in popularity. I suspect he will stay in the top five for years to come. He is indeed a special dog and has the ability to throw his speed and desire into his offspring. He is the biggest bargain in the country at $750.

DC Brenda Lee is indeed in whelp to Rumble and I would think one of the most highly anticipated and coveted litters in the entire country. I have already had inquires as to if any females would be for sale as broods either before or after their racing careers! In fact I had one person tell me we were crazy to consider racing any of the females! I am sure Denny and Wanda Curry and myself will discuss this after the litter hits the ground!

I will give an update as to the exact day of Dingle's arrival as soon as I heard word back from Tim Keane!

Pictured are the Fine Silver* x JR's Prelude pups. I was extremely pleased with how aggressive and keen they are! I will be breeding many more females to Silver!

On the move.....Meet The Creeper and Danica Driver will be making their way South to West Palm Beach and the B&B Kennel. "Cueball" will be going back to 3/8ths. This is a repeat performance at "The Beach" for Cueball. His half-sister is a bit short at Jacksonville and should excell at the 545 yd distance.

Hondo Dingle* will be arriving next week. All paperwork is in order and we will be able to collect him immediately.

A close friend of ours has been involved in a hit and run accident. He was riding a bicycle and was found in a ditch two hours after the accident. Please keep Mark Ortiz in your prayers as he is struggling in the ICU right now. Apparently his pelvis has been shattered. We will bring him here after he is let out of the hospital as he has no family. Mark has been a part of my familiy of friends for a long time and we became friends through greyhounds.

The whirly gig is done and ready for action. We are moving the starting box over this week! Thanks to Tony Morris as this is his exact design as the one used to train Ozzie The Man.

We have posted a FAQ page on the Chat link. There is an issue with the color palette not working. It is a Java issue and you can read on the FAQ page how to resolve that issue and other things you may wish to learn to use and do in the chat room.

Chris Stivers is working on a new Fine Silver* DVD and it will be available very soon.

We now have a NEW chat room with all the bells and whistles. We did a test chat room during the week and people responded and used it. It is great to see an international crowd in there. Right now no password is required. You can use whatever password you like to enter. We will do to a password if there is any need for one down the road. We ask that you sign on with your real name and not a screen name. If there is ever a problem please contact us through the website.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy this new feauture!
