Hey everyone!

So a few months ago I randomly decided to do a retirement breeding on a set of dogs. I produced two pups, Hadley and Hayes. Hadley had a goal of 2.75 mill, and reached 3 mill last week! Hayes had a goal of 3 mill and reached 3.2 mill this week! I've never had any animals hit 3 mill so I'm thrilled.

BUT, this evening I just did their breeding and got Ivan! ( https://horsephenomena.com/dogs.php?id=106413 ) Ivan was born with a little under 300k points and will be my first big project. I'm hoping he'll be the highest pointed Catahoula on HP before retirement, so his goal is 5 mill!

Ivan and his partner will be entered in roughly 100 privates a week. But, I am also in need of some dog tickets! I am willing to purchase, trade, etc.

I am super excited that this is actually happening and I'm feeling fairly confident that he'll reach his goal. If you guys have any tips, tricks, or leads on shows and tickets please let me know! Also, thanks for letting me brag lol!

110% no shame in bumping my own post

Congrats!

He will turn out great! Good luck with all the training!

Congratulations!

Super nice! Congrats! :D

that's awesome!

I'm currently trying to get my dogs to 2mill. I've never got anything past 1mill so to get a 2mill that would be amazing for me lol, hope he reaches his goal of 5mill! :D 

Thanks everyone! I'm super excited, if you couldn't tell lol

way to go!!

Update: Ivan is first in the young dog rankings! Only by like 1,000 points, because siib is giving me a run for the money lol

 Good luck & congrats! 

Also haha! I'm not ticketing Absolutely so you'll keep it!

Also 100 private shows should get him to 1mil for ya as long as you're consistent with those privates. 😉 If I weren't already selling my tickets for this month I'd offer them to you, but if they're available next month I'll make sure to message you!

Cool, thanks siib!

Congrats on Ivan and good luck in his training!

Thanks, ado!

Alsooo, Ivan hit one mill at 3 :)

UPDATE: Ivan is over 3.5 mill at age 9! He will totally hit 5 mill by retirement, if not more! 

I'm no longer buying dog tickets, but would be interested in trading them. 

Also, as part of the breed ambassador's program, I will be breeding for twins on Ivan and Isadora and giving one away to a new and/or current breeder. The pup will be born with over 350k points so it would be a great start. If anyone is interested, let me know! I plan on making a different thread for the pup

Woohoo go Ivan!! :)

I've always wanted to breed Catahoula Leopard Dogs, they are so pretty.
