I play footy and the whole team wanted to buy a dog and get into it we had about 4-5k to spend and they all wanted to name a dog so they could have our team name or whatever.. Anyway I was searching for a break-in for months it was just too risky and to pay 4k for a dog that has only broken in it just was not going to be worth it, I ended up going for a young dog with only 6 starts had one win and a few 2nds. Breeding was hallucinate x flo jo tears. Got him from NSW and to be honest I wish I didnt we paid 4.5k and he was here for 2 weeks Id hardly touched him then he trialled pretty well and after that Ive had nothing but injuries and sheer bad luck. He did get one win at Angle Park on a Wednesday only went 30.75 and we won $375 out of it so we have a long way to go to get our money back.
Be very careful buying young dogs unless you trust the person 100% because it can be quite heartbreaking.
