Anyway ill tell you in 6 months when they are racing over 500 in 8 dog fields if they are any good. Hope this helps
Braden, the word I've heard around is that he really seems to inject fire (and probably chase) into his pups, did you find the report was they were easy to break in during education?
Cheers, Doug.
Doug
I am hearing similar traits. Very fiery and terrific on the arm

It's a great tick in the box for a young sire I think Sandro, a nice string to their bow early.

It's always nice to hear good reports as most seem to be negative when it comes to young stud dogs.
This bloke has had his fair share of bitches so he has every chance.
I do know of one pup that flew first look at the breakers. ( sorry I can't say the breed as not sure if the owner would be happy )

Hi mark I'm not sure if Budgie Lass is a good price guide for your bitch.
It's bloody hard to put a price on pups just put what you think they are worth. You can always drop them if there not selling.
I paid 4k which I was very happy paying and I think she could make a nice broodie if she hits the track.. Her mother has thrown a few smart dogs and I know her sisters pups have sold for -5-6-7k so i was happy paying 4k.

We just brought a bitch from this litter. They are only 6 weeks old. I think Fabregas is going to have a very bright future.
Brett these pups breeding looks really nice on paper so lets hope they can run lol Hope so... I will have a few out of Budgie's sister...

Hopefully it clicks Darren... All three sisters including Budgie went to Fabregas... The Black Saharrahs are pretty old too so wont be too long away...

About to break in 7 in the coming 6-7 weeks. All look average, nothing outstanding about them, but nothing bad about them either. They tend to turn into "magnificent types, etc" once they are running a bit of time lol.

Thanks Darren I just looked up Budgie lass form and if you paid 4 k for your pup I may be under selling my pups at 2 k

Mark very hard to compare bitches. I think you need to price yours on what the first litter have done?? I see her first litter is 2yo and none of them are named which may put people off. Is there any reason why none have been named or raced yet?
I was happy paying 4k for her pup as she made grp 1-2 finals the litter made at least 3 grp1 finals and I also know her sisters pups have broken in very smart. But as this is her first litter I am taking a gamble.
Good luck mate maybe start another thread to get others advice on what these pups are worth.

if comparing the two bitches id have to say that their resepctive prices for litters are correct, yet with fabregas being unproven id really like to knock $500 at least off both and i think you would be on the mark.
a little off topic so maybe best we stay on topic as comparing bitches can tend to lead arguments.

That's fine Sean everyone's entitled to have an opinion. I know her sisters pups sold for 6/7k to Fabregas and the guy that brought them owns the odd city-group dogs and one of the best trainers in OZ will be training them. I got a bitch which could prove valuable in years to come.
But I do agree you can't compare bitches that's why I have asked what her first litter had done as they are 2yo which may give us a better guide to pricing his pups.
Do you have questions about breeding theories?
