haha not all dogs are the same, just cause he improved 1 dog over a second dosnt mean he will do the same with this dog, alot of things to look at with the dog who improved 1 second...fitness, condtion, age, injury and so on

if your buying him thinking your "top trainer" will improve him half a second to a full second you have rocks in your head...at 3.5k id save my money cause bein unraced at that price after the owner/trainer has put all the hard work it means one of 2 things, the dog is no good and there dodgy or there in the 2%of legit un-raced sales...

BUT i dont believe any unraced dog for sale is legit, after all the time and money if he had abilty you would think the owner/trainer would keep him atleast for his first win?? wouldnt you if he was yours?? he is priced at a level where you could buy a handy dog that is proven and currently racing, no superstar but somethink that you no chases and could have abit of fun with...

if i was to take a stab in the dark, being by pure octane this dog is for sale cause he has a vice...there skunks, even the best pure octanes have skunk in them...i call he dosent chase with other dogs i.e he goes ok solo but put him with others in a trial and he goes meow

if you want to buy him and dont like the advice given, get them to trial him infront of you and your trainer in a half field trial, no solo trial...you want to see him run with other dogs
