great stuff chaps
what are the long term hopes for both the dogs? Rodney sounds like it could be an immense beast. Could it scoop the lot? How far do you expect either of them to go? and will you use them at some point to breed together to get another legion of track warriors?
edit: cant remember if they are blood related and how that impacts breeding, heh
rodney could still be anything, a number of the litter are improving into decent class with one of his brothers top class. they all seem to lack a little early so could be awesome when stepped upto 6 bends as they get older. if rodney can improve over the next 3 months to around 27secs then that will see him into top grade and an open racer over 6 bends, but who knows.
cassie will hopefully improve over 4 bends and be a better grade over 6 bends.
would hope to breed them at a later date that was always the plan, cassie is very well bred and it isnt so important for her to be top class though obviously the higher she can climb the better.
rodney on the other hand has to become an open racer minimum, although also well bred and from a good litter dogs tend to have to perform better on the track to be of any worth at stud.
rodney has potential but it all depends how much improvement he can make over the next few months.hes still only 22 months old so fingers crossed
