Spotlight on Breedingin bitches that have New Tears through a son. Light Of Fire and his son Awesome Assassinand his sons are the perfect option.This has already been proven through Tunza Pace who is by Whisky Assassin a grandsonof Light Of Fire, and out of Brett’s Rival’s litter sister Hyde Park.A mating between Brett’s Rival and the former star Victorian staying bitch Mid City Mandyshows this perfectlyGun Law OstiBrett LeeSobbing Sal (by New Tears)Brett’s RivalZealous Guy (dam by New Tears)Fairy WingsEbony Park LassTEST MATINGLight Of Fire (by New Tears)Awesome AssassinTranquil FlameMid City MandyGun Law OstiAshlee JeannineFloodgateThe position of Gun Law Osti 3x3 top and bottom of the pedigree in this mating is fabulousand is the way Gun Law Osti is bred himself 3x3 top and bottom to Temlee. Token Prince (3x3to Waverly Supreme) and Worth Doing (3x3 to Temlee) are also bred on such a cross.Ben Day and his partners would be well advised to attract even a lesser race quality littersister to Mid City Mandy to Brett’s Rival to do this mating.Because Brett’s Rival carries a double to the sisters Wee Sal and Lorrathor (by ChariotSupreme-I’m Blessed), breeders who have bitches with male strains of Chariot Supreme intheir pedigree would be well advised to look at him.Chariot Supreme can be found through sons Shining Chariot (and his son Golden Currency),Benjason, Franklin Deano, Wild Pirate, Black Pirate in many bitches throughout the country.All will help to sex balance Brett’s Rival pups.One of the most exciting young sires in the land today is Pure Octane (Token Prince-Elusive Rebel). He is proving his worth as a sire of strength. Daughters of Pure Octane couldbe ideal to put to Brett’s Rival.Here is an example:Gun Law Osti (dam a daughter of Osti Lee)Brett LeeSobbing SalBrett’s RivalZealous GuyFairy WingsEbony Park LassTEST MATINGToken PrincePure OctaneElusive Rebel (by Bobniak a great grandson of Osti Lee)Primrose PathRoyal PilgrimAl FrescoPrize DancerEvery time a daughter of Pure Octane is mated to Brett’s Rival it will bring in a double-upof that famous broodbitch Osti Lee. The Brett Lee/Bobniak nick is based on this in-breedingand has been hugely successful boasting Where’s Pedro, Hallucinate, Meticulous, Prang andcloser to home the brilliant Albion Park performer Elma Fud.Even from early observations, it appears doubling and even tripling the Osti damline is anextremely powerful tool available to greyhound breeders. For those interested … Osti Leeruns along the alternate sex path on both sides of her pedigree to the genetic brother andsister Pendle Havoc and Gorgeous Babe. Here are their pedigrees:TrionChief HavocThelma’s MatePendle HavocRoccabrightVal BrightVal Phar (daughter of Weedy Valley)TrionChief HavocThelma’s MateGorgeous BabeRoccabrightDaisy RockDaisy Valley (daughter of Weedy Valley)Which brings us back to Brett’s Rival. Any bitch that carries Bobniak in her pedigree willsuit Brett’s Rival.While on the subject of sons of Token Prince, Black Enforcer daughters too would do wellto go to Brett’s Rival. Black Enforcer has Light Of Fire in his damline and as we said he is ableto pick up on the daughter strains of New Tears in the pedigree of Brett’s Rival. Black Enforceralso has Head Honcho as his damsire. Head Honcho always has an affinity with New Tears(Carlisle Jack etc) and his daughters have done well with Brett Lee (Superman and BentleyJane).Carlisle Jack bitches are an extremely interesting option for mating with Brett’s Rival.The position of New Tears as damsire of Carlisle Jack is an extremely powerful one whenmatings to Brett’s Rival are done. Brett’s Rival has New Tears on his alternate sex path as doesCarlisle Jack.Greyhound DataGreyhound breeders should be aware of the value of the fantastic website produced byGunnar von Boehn in Stuttgart, Germany.The site can be accessed viawww.greyhound-data.comIt's well worth a look for the information available. The best of its kind.by David BraschDoubling New Tears this way could produce some extremely interesting offspring.Here is one example:Gun Law OstiBrett LeeSobbing SalBrett’s RivalZealous Guy (out of a daughter of New Tears)Fairy WingsEbony Park LassTEST MATINGHead HonchoCarlisle JackOur Girl Olivia (by New Tears)Petite MamzelleStar TitleHolly’s DebHollywood DebAnd now for the trump card ... or cards.One is No Intent, the son of Head Honcho-Hot Show Deb (New Tears-Wee Sal).Putting bitches by No Intent to Brett’s Rival will result in the litter sisters Sobbing Sal andHot Show Deb (3x3) both coming through sons. This is how it will look.Gun Law OstiBrett LeeSobbing Sal (New Tears-Wee Sal)Brett’s RivalZealous GuyFairy WingsEbony Park LassTEST MATINGHead HonchoNo IntentHotShow Deb (New Tears-Wee Sal)Jaylo BlushToken PrinceToken FeverBay WaveFirstly, you will remember Brett’s Rival also carries a sister to Wee Sal in Lorrathor in hisimmediate tail female line. Brett’s Rival’s grandsire Gun Law Osti is in-bred to the half sistersBonnie Secret and Academy Lass (both daughters of famed broodbitch Secretly) in this exactsame pattern.I do not believe Big Daddy Cool bitches will suit Brett’s Rival. The half brothers Brett Leeand Big Daddy Cool will produce progeny far too in-bred. But bitches that carry Big DaddyCool as their damsire will be a much better option.And for the second trump card … it is Cry Havoc the son of Head Honcho-Wee Sal whohas been quite prolific in pedigrees. Remember Brett’s Rival also carries Cry Havoc’s halfsister Sobbing Sal in his sireline, but also has a sister to Wee Sal in Lorrathor in his immediatefemale line.Broodbitches that carry Cry Havoc anywhere in their pedigree will suit Brett’s Rival. Theyshould be a huge priority for Ben Day and the syndicate that owns Brett’s Rival.
