US Sires List

US Sires listFOLLOWING on from last week's English-Irish Sires List, this week we have a look at the US Sires List for the eight months to the end of August.

Australian bred sires certainly don't have the presence in the US that they do in England and Ireland, and the influence US sires are now having on the Australian breeding industry is clear with the number of sires on the list with pups on the ground here.

Only one Australian born sire, the beautifully bred, Defrim Bale (October 2009 Bartrim Bale x Amelia Bale), whose dam is by Sonic Flight* x Evonne Bale (Light Of Fire x Frosty Bale) has a place in the top 25 on the list, with Dragon Fire (Brett Lee x Hoops Slamdunk) and Barcelona Boss (Surf Lorian x Kendra) the only other sires in the top 25 by an Australian bred sire.

Defrim Bale is from the outstanding Bartrim Bale x Amelia Bale litter, which included Adelle Bale, Arben Bale, Bekim Bale, Ervin Bale, Fyna Bale, Glynis Bale, Heston Bale and Irma Bale.

Next Week

UNFORTUNATELY next week there will be no Talking Breeding, with this week's column being the last.

Talking Breeding has fallen victim of cutbacks caused by the industry downturn in NSW since the disastrous decision by the State Government to ban Greyhound Racing in NSW from July next year.

There is still a lot of water to go under the bridge before that happens, but it is what it is at the moment.

Who knows where it will end, certainly not me, but I would like to thank Australian Racing Greyhound for their support of Talking Breeding over the past eight months, since the closure of National Greyhound Form.

Anyone who needs to contact me with issues related to the published editions of Talking Breeding can do so on my private email, [email protected]
