WHY MUST THE MALE BE SUPERIOR AT THE RACETRACK TO BE CONSIDERED FOR BREEDING, WHILE THE FEMALE JUST NEEDS TO HAVE GOOD BLOODLINES?

Allow me to give you my answer to this topic first, then I will explain my opinion on the subject.

After 49 years in this business, and with endless hours of study, research, and every possible means of developing a thorough understanding as much as I can possibly do, then here is my final decision regarding a solid breeding assessment.  “It isn’t the sire or the dam which provides the most important consideration in breeding greyhounds.  The care and training given by a quality farm is worth 60% of the outcome for any breeding.  This means that the sire and dam provide the remaining 40%.”

I have known individuals who spent large sums of money to purchase some of the top greyhounds off the best racetracks with tremendous bloodlines, and see them produce nothing.  The reason always came from not know how to raise and train the offspring, or to depend on farms which do not have the ability to produce quality athletes.  You are going to lose money in this business if you do not choose the very best farm possible.

Rodney runs greyhounds from many different sources.  Ask him if he can tell the difference in the many farms these greyhounds come from?  I can tell you that he won’t take any more greyhounds from certain farms.  Why continue to lease greyhounds because you like the owner?  After awhile, one learns that only leads to lost expense and wasted man hours. It isn’t good for moral, and doesn’t motive anyone.

Yes, more is expected from a sire since his future is one which must be proven first.  If he isn’t selected with solid credentials from the race track, then it isn’t likely a particular greyhound will get enough pups on the ground to prove he can produce.  Naturally, he must have great producing bloodlines added to his racing talent to attract breeders as a part of his promotion qualities.  All of this has little to do with genetics, and you will see many stud dogs which hold all the qualities anyone could ever ask for, and never be a productive sire.

Someone must prove any given sire before it will make a big attraction from the public.  We gave away free breedings to Dodgem By Design and Lonesome Cry for one year each before we began to charge a breeding fee.  That particular promotion required we get breeders who race at quality tracks, and in the NGA Meets in order to attract attention.  Had their offspring not produced at the proper time, then they would have been quickly passed from any future breedings.

It is very difficult to prove any greyhounds enough to move him to the top of the standings as we have done Dodgem By Deisre. Let’s face it, there is only one top sire, and hundreds of dogs whose owners feel they could be the best.  There may be one or two in the group that could be the very best which will never get the chance due to the lack of breedings.  When you think of it in this light, then you suddenly realize that any breeder should breed to top proven stud dogs if they want to increase their potential to produce winners.

I grew up in this business thinking that the brood matron is the most important ingredient of all.  She can be when all other considerations are in place.  Once you find her, then she becomes very valuable.  Some females produce litters which run out $200,000 to $300,000 during their racing careers.  How valuable do you think she is?  Then, there are some females which produce a single greyhound which can earn that much, including sires like Dodgem which will earn more than one million dollars before his day is finished.  Both, the sire and dam, can be very valuable.  So, we need a method from which to work toward in our development of a solid breeding program.  That is now very easy for me, but took years for me to suddenly realize due to the influence of many others I put my trust in without further consideration.

The sire is my most important consideration.  I’m not saying he is more important.  I am only saying it is a requirement as my first consideration in producing offspring.  Allow me to provide you with a plan to follow which will work more than any other I feel you can come up with.

Study your top tracks; especially, the ones you prefer your greyhounds to race at.  Decide which sires are the very top producers at those tracks.  Stick with two or three sires, then vow to never look for another sire until one of these sires no longer exist.  In my case, it would be Dodgem By Design, Lonesome Cry and Flying Penske.  They produce the best at the best track in the nation, Wheeling.  It doesn’t get any better than this, and an easy choice to make.

Why choose the sire first?  Because he is already proven to be everything one would ever want if you only go after the best.

The reason people do not always do the above is because they have females they want to breed which don’t cross well with these sires.  Some females may be out of these sires, also.  My answer is to get rid of her, unless you want to learn the hard way and spend money to prove me wrong.  I have done the wrong thing many times, and can tell you that I would be so far ahead of the game had I used the process I am offering you one could ever imagine.  Buy females to breed to the stud dogs you know are the best producers, and get rid of the rest of your females.

Chances are . . . the females you select won’t be proven.  If they were, then you would pay an arm and a leg for them.  The stud fee is the cheapest part of breeding.  What you have to do is study the many greyhounds out of a sire like Dodgem, and see what bloodlines the females had which produced from him.  There have been several stake races over the past few weeks an offspring of Dodgem or Lonesome have won.  Check those out, and determine what bloodlines they were crossed with.  If it is a female out of Fortress*, one out of Molotov, or one out of Oshkosh Slammer (as examples), then search for female out of the sire of your choice.

You might find that some females will have some in-breeding, and others come from an out-cross. This is another subject we will cover later as I have already been asked to do this.

Cathy, sires racing records are used to promote them as stud dogs, and could be misleading after genetics proves the results to be obtained.  Still, you can use the proven sire after all is confirmed to gain a tremendous edge in breeding.  Without Dodgem and Lonesome offspring, then Rodney would not have won the recent meet at Wheeling.  That should add some tremendous value to this report.

Buy your females to match the sire you plan to breed to.  You already have a 50% chance of success when you do this since you do not have to prove the sire.

Don’t do any of this if you aren’t on one of the most dependable farm programs in the nation.  Be careful who you deal with.  Find out what greyhounds they have produced at major tracks, and how many have been stakes caliber greyhounds.

The only thing left is a good kennel to take care of these future champions.  Hang in there with Rodney, and listen to him.  He is a competitor and wants to win.  Don’t force losers on him, and expect him to prove that point at added expense.  Go after the best, and run with the best.  You can do it!  Spend the money it takes to own top quality in all you do.  Those I see trying to cut every corner possible normally end up on the short end of the stick.  Be the very best, or don’t do it!
