Big Daddy Cool X Kimba's Spirit
 

Hi all...

Have a beautiful broodbitch here call Jade, known as Kimba's Spirit.
She has been inseminated to the sire Big Daddy Cool last week and i thought i would post a thread on her pregnancy.

Quick run down on Jade. She was my first greyhound and also would have been classed as the reject of the litter. 5 bouncy mental cases and one sad case sitting in the corner. Sad case was the one for me as she was just beautiful.

Jade turned out to be more than handy making a few finals around the state making me a very proud mum!

Injury forced her career to be questioned, but she came back to make herself a last start BOD winner before she was forced to retire yet again.

Since then she had had 2 litters, Nov 06 Big Daddy Cool March 08 Hallucinate.
Her first litter produced 6 beautiful pups who have excelled:
Gibbo's Girl: 6 starts 4 wins (include 20.74 Nowra, 30.12 Dapto) Group 3 finalist
Freckles: 8 starts 3 wins (20.84 Nowra 30.26 Dapto) Group 3 finalist
Kamikaze Spirit: 4 starts 1 second (2 x 4ths and one 7th where he injured hamstring. Won Richmond Qualie first up) in Group 3 Puppy Classic tomorrow
Harbour Front: 1 start 1 third (Won Nowra Qualie first up)
Cool Harlequin: 1 start 1 unpl (Scratched from Group 3 Semi Final)
Making Memories: 1 start 1 unpl (Scratched from Group 3 Semi Final)

Absolutely rapt in litter number 1 with 5 runners competing for Group 3 glory.
Hence why we have gone back to BDC. Shame he will not have many more litters due to his infertility.

Fingers crossed she has a big litter but i wanted to take this chance to show others the stages through the pregnancy.

So here is Jadeo Wadeo, Day before she left for her insemination at 30kg

Will take Weekly photos to show how big she gets before she pops.
Jade is due on the 9th December but will be booked in for a cesarean. Am so excited looking forward to puppies again!! :D

Hey sounds like the first litter has produced some very smart runners, lets hope that her second litter is the same.

How do the pups from Hallucinate look?

I kept 1 (of the 2) Hallucinates, A little black bitch called Amy.

Is 7 months old and looks an absolute treat. We half own her with some awesome mates of ours (who half own Making Memories with us too) and they visit her quite often and are amazed with how big she is. Rearer says when he lets her loose in the acreage all she does is run run run run run dive into the dam then run run run run run.
I have big hopes for her.

This is Amy @ 3 months old:

Trainer of Gibbo's Girl and Freckles think theyll both win plenty in the city so i am sitting back praying!

Love my Jadeo Wadeo and she has proven to be much fun over the years, as a beautiful puppy, a good race dog, a good mum and an even better couch potato!

Jade jas a runner tonight RACE 8 BOX 8 DAPTO - FRECKLES.... Get on! :D

Ive withdrawn my winnings for tonight.

Might put some money on though ;)

Good tip!

Pitty it was only paying $1.50 :(

Crap odds but geez what a legendary run 29.94 is just BLITZING.
Keeps improving and improving.

Never looked like losing although i would have liked a bit more value. lol

Thanks for the tip.

Anytime :D

The litter is going sensational now 24 starts 10 wins and a few minors. 3 Group 3 finalists 2 Group 3 Semi Finalists and 1 little man who made a Maiden Final but had to be scratched as his kennel mate came on season and all he wanted to do was the naughty lol.


I am not using this as bragging but just total excitement. I chose the mum, i trained the mum for a small amount of her career, bred the litter, whelped em, reared em only til 6 months old, and now to see what those bum biting rat bags have become. Its teary!

Its worth bragging about!

Should have kept them :)

Seems like a great litter and will continue to win many more races.

My ''Sexy man'' Makita is racing this Wednesday Bulli.

Trialled ok this morning so hope he can finally break the ducky after competing in exceptional races as of late!

Good luck with the race, ill have to put some $$ on him :)

Thanks Morgan, i think he is a top chance to be honest. He trialled ok and should improve.
Having a major drop in grade so he should lead the field and prove hard to run down, but the first starters can always be a worry.

Last Saturday Cool Harlequin came 2nd at Goulburn and Making Memories came 3rd. Both are tab class runners that are just very immature. Hoping that some non tab racs will help them learn about racing and go on to be nice Freckles :D

Well arent the GHRRA just a bunch of sweethearts.
Sally (Cool Harlequin) Drew the 6 on Saturday and Chase (Memories) drew the 5.

Atleast if they win from those boxes you will know that they can win from anywhere.

Not the best draw but you have to look at the positives.

Makita wins paying $4.20 :D
Its so exciting, finally a winner with a pup i kept out of the litter!

Makkas a little legend just like his awesome trainers Mel and Clarinda. Kick ass nite and its only just begun LOL

And your right Morgan if they can win off of the 5 and 6.... can win from anywhere!

Well done, kind annoyed i didnt get a chance to put some money on :(

Congrats on the win, didnt see the race so cant really comment on the run.

Buy good work!

Thanks Morgan, was so exciting. Knew the boy was going to be graded to perfection.

Looks like a pretty close race, good work again with the win.

Lets hope next time no one bets on him. lol

Very poor quality (used camera phone to record off tv LOL) but this is kinda the replay and some after shots of the sexy man cakes lol

Making Memories wins today at Goulburn with Cool Harlequin running a very good 4th! :D

Tomorrow is day 21 of Jadeos pregnancy. Last weigh in 2 weeks ago she was 27.9 and she is to go on our scales shortly to see if she is getting beefy.

Some photos of her chilling out in the sun this arvo:

Thanks for the updates.

Her previous litter is looking very good, you must have some good expectations for this lot :)

Sure do Morgan. Especially after Kamikaze won the final @ Bulli on Wednesday.
Freckles is in WP Monday r2#7 and a very good shot too :D

Getting very excited for Jades whelping in 5 weeks

Have gotten news in on Freckles trial Thursday @ WP....
2 words.... GET ON!

When is he racing?

Hey morgan - i wrote when she was racing in the post above :D

But good thing anyway, little Kaz ran 4th. Good run but oppose to what she can run, quite disappointing.... next time :D

Brother Kamikaze Spirit is in Group 3 auction heats Dapto Thurs r9#1.

Good luck with the race ive added it to the things i should watch tonight :)

Lets hope he can have a win.

Poor little man had no luck come his way at all but he is in the semis next week :)
Freckles is in WP tomorrow... cant remember what race but she has box 2 and should be a good thing so the trainers reckon.

Bulli Wednesday
Making Memories r4#3 good chance
Cool Harlequin r2#8 just making up the field lol

Thanks for the info might try a few $$ on Making Memories depending on odds.

Actually the more im looking at the field the tougher its looking. But my boy can break 23 at bulli and i actually think the bitch cool harlequin can to as she has an excuse not to have thus far.

Her box is crap, but no offence to other runners, they dont scream out anything special either. Good thing will probably be the #1 in her race, unraced, good trainer, good box and i bet its seen the track A LOT

for others - excellent work :)

Thanks very much team - and Your sure right ZT... i am a very proud ''mum'' and soon to be again ''grandma'' :D

A lot of pride and love with these dogs. They try their hardest, and i couldnt ask more of them.

Wouldnt find a sookier litter of pups than this lot either ;)
