Pictured is "Blade" a Swahili Eile* pup taken today. He will be our first Eile pup in training in January. He is quite the looker.

We have some updated info from our finishing trainer, Joey Lingle on the Fine Silver* pups in training. He has said this is the best bunch of pups I have ever sent him and they are turning very impressive times for their stage in training. They have been boxed 3 times and are very competitive. These are out of Jr's Prelude. Her next litter is due to whelp next week by Group Rooster*. At this time I would say all pups in this litter are already spoken for.

Congrats to John Kelly as only minutes ago Kelsos Granola, a Maryville Rumble* pup smoked a grade A field up at Wheeling which included Starz Jenko. This is a very, very special pup and we wish John and the Raines Kennel the best of luck with her.

The broods are literally flying in for implants. We had two more delivered a few minutes ago with more coming tomorrow! Tommy Commander is due here any minute and Ly Do will be offering free breedings while he is here being collected!!! If you are interested contact either Ly or myself!

Martin Roper and myself were down at our "sister farm" in Live Oak this weekend and had a wonderful time with all of our friends at the Champions Farm and Bussmann and Balakas Kennels. The renovations of the farm were extremely impressive and we look forward to going back down again.

We also took in the Night of Stars at the Orange Park Kennel Club with the Balakas crew and were joined by Chris "Coach" Grieb for a nice dinner, great conversation and watching Paula Balakas pick winner after winner after winner!

Then it was a speedy trip home so I could breed Dance Of Dreams, littersister to 2008 Derby Lane Sprint champ, Kinloch Brae to Swahili Eile*. "Dancer" has a litter by Rumble in the runs and we felt that Eile was the logical choice for her as we are keeping the Aussie/Irish cross and with his strong damline we feel these will be serious major track pups and suited to strong galloping tracks.

It's going to be a busy week!
