I have bought 5 Slater pups that are currently 17 months old. All the boys broke in like smoke. The fastest boy broke his leg in a shepparton trial and will be out for five months. But look out for the other 2 who will be racing in 6 weeks time. It will be somewhere out in the country. the 2 girls are taking a little longer to come on but they are trailing at shepperton today i think. One of the girls looks to be something special. The dogs are just a picture to look at, all big 33 - 37 kg dogs and the bitches would be around 30kg. We are expexting some big things of these dogs especially the dog who broke his leg and will be back running around xmas time. He ran the quickest trial of the day at shepp a few weeks back and his leg broke 20mtrs from the post. It would have some time he ran. Very upsetting for all parties involved but he will back to his best the vet is sure. One last thing i will say Advanced vet clinic in the city is the best animal hospital in Victoria. They specialize in animal breaks and using them dramatically improved his chances of running again.
