legs&lashes 188 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 One would think with all the funding given to NZRS, breeders bonuses,etc etc they could spare some to support the few that do make the effort to stand a stud dog.Instead it costs about $2000 to register one these days. Unfortunately its becoming apparent to me that this once great industry is becoming elitest. How about some figures made public to show how many participants are benefiting from the NZRS?

alltheway!!! 640 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 NZ has some good sires right now, you only have to look at the likes of what Sergio, scotexcited, piggy back, yella mustard, star conquest have achieved with limited matings as sires. Shame none of them are advertised or promoted here. Than you ad the likes of dyna vikkers, dream collector, and fast archer who are only starting to have litters hit the track, the sires over here are in a strong position Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOM 1,017 Report post Posted July 13, 2017 You are correct ATW never seen so many talented well bred dogs standing, shame we are all guessing who is actually on the full list. Talking of the NZRS I think it is unfair and not achieving what it set out to achieve. Firstly Steve is correct to ask for a breakdown of money distributed throught the scheme over say the last 5 years. I think it will not be spread far. Secondly in a breeding reward scheme I would expect the empahsis would be the younger dogs. At the moment C0 is heavily penalised because invariably when calling for heats for the novice series the heats are made up with mainly of class 1 dogs or in many instances solely of class 1 dogs. The maidens have a tough ask competing against dogs that have aleady won a race let alone being lucky to get a start in the heats at all. I think there needs to be a seperate category for maidens. It makes no sense to see a multi winner of over $50k competing in a novice series with maidens alltheway!!!, aquaman, rouseabout and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundlover 24 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 modest mouse you clearly don't know much about breeding. Where did your stud dog captain coutts come from ? ( bigtime explorer) wonder who breed that dog, I'll give you a hint with the bigtime. Maybe you should think about how Cole Is in the position of being able to breed and have the set up he has got. Maybe it was a little thing that some trainers lack called work ethic. gary1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
