Ctb and mpr, don't get too precious about your dog!! if your expecting some pats on the back and comments on how good your dog is then you have probably come to the wrong place!! This site forever has people pumping up their own wheels and promoting their syndicates and it has run a bit thin over time!! Nick and Poizon are just calling it as they see it and lets face it they are not far off the mark!! The dog would have to improve around 12-16L to be a handy dog around S'dwn and the fact he can run a quick 300m or trial whatever solo means shit when it comes to racing!! This is NOT putting the dog down its just calling it as I see it, they can only go as well as their ability allows them to. I hope he wins more races for you.
