Still trying to get times from the pre trainer, does your mate have a fax machine? As the pre trainer asked for a fax # to send times except i dont have one until mid week which i can use works machine.

what about an email address surely he could send to u that way pm me your number i pass it on to my m8

u can always send it over here to tassie and my trainer take it on lol

name and shame your pre trainer mate

sounds like when she was going well they where keen to train but once she didnt go on with it have dropped off and given you little info

its a trait the litter seem to have, from what i no all broke in and looked a million dollars early but none have found any improvment at all including mine. mine was running race time at breakers and early trials at geelong suggested she was a dog of the future (20.15 first look first run from breakers) i was thinking she was a very good dog in the making but to be honest has only improved 5lens since... its a tough game mate

tassie?

do they have races there for dogs with only 1 head?

haha sorry i had to

all good m8 there some great dogs over here including my mates thats just finished racing he earned over 200 thousand in his carrer not bad at all

Okay got a few times from the pre-trainer.

She will be paid up until this week for pre-training and will be trialled again tomorrow.

Cranbourne 520 Box to Box (Around 400m im told)

5:58 - 1st split 22:01 - Second Split

Depending on the run home time these times are around what they are running and winning 520m Maidens at Cranbourne:

Results

Cranbourne 311m from box (With other dogs pre trainer said there was a bit of bumping etc)

10:08 - 1st Split 18:57

These times are from early November so hopefully she would be doing better now with more race ecperience and fitness as these were her first runs from a spell after break in.

morgan to behonest with you, if that's all your pre trainer can give you after 8weeks of pre training then you have been taken for a ride mate!! with just single times for each distance you have nothing to compare with to see how much improvment she is making! you haven't said she has had setback or injurys have you? without any major setbacks you should have alot more info then that, with out a full list of all times it's hard to give you any feedback on where you can send her to place her on abilty! her 311m time if it was early on isn't the worst but at her current stage you'd want her to be going 20.20 at very worst.

your in a tough postion you live to far away to go get the dog and if you ask the trainer the hard questions they might crack it and tell you to take her rite now!! your entitled to ask the hard questions, you pay for a service and from the sounds of it not a very good one.

if be really starting to step up a gear in finding her a new home, as I said it's hard fro me to day where without a full list of trial times. as I've said it's a trait the litter have all got that they never improved much after break in.

might be worth getting onto windarra lodge where you had the dog reared and see if shandelle and ray migh give her ago for you! just explain to them you haven't been told much so you don't no if she can run or not! gte transport I'm sure do the trip to Seymour which will cost you $70-$80 and give her another 6 weeks of pre training then look at it again!

from what your saying and what you've given us, looks like you have been taken for a ride!! best advice when you speak with people inregards to pre training and training do some reasearch first, talk shit make out you no more then you do, some people see newbies as an easy target...let's hope that's not the case and you get some more info mate

good luck

Yeah mate try 10-12 weeks pre training.

Got a few more trials although the ones ive posted are the latest.

She went from 311m boxes first then stepped up in distance and had 4-5 trials box to box.

Took me 1-2 weeks to finally get times, and i think it was only because i owed them money that they got onto me.

Wanting to try and move her on ASAP like you said to actually get someone reliable to give her a shot, not really looking at paying more pre-trainer fee's after 12 weeks at $70 a week its getting a bit much.
