What to breed to in your pedigree?
I've spoken previously about what I've personally termed "elite international genes" (EIG's) and Take Murex is most certainly that...
Legendary Australian breeder Alan Wheeler took his top class racebitch Emiline Bale to Temlee concentrating one part of his pedigree to the legendary Take Murex family, through Temlee descending from the great Pigalle Wonder [Take Murex] sire line and Emiline Bale carrying the Take Murex family - result the greatest racebitch the Wheelers have bred - AGRA Hall of Fame member Winifred Bale.
Allan Wheeler then took Winifred Bale to leading sire Chariot Supreme - Take Murex's greatest sire line outside of Ireland - that of Waverly Supreme - result top class Penrith bitch Roma Bale.
Now with son Paul Wheeler at the helm, Roma Bale visits import sire Barney's Alarm - a reasonable if not moderate sire, heavily bred on the Take Murex family - from sire Satharn Beo a direct descendant of Take Murex to Waverly Supreme's brother Laurdella Fun and so on - resulting in a handy litter of males and containing a bitch named Alarming Bale.
Paul Wheeler then takes Alarming Bale to reasonable sire Faithful Hawk - at the time a sire carrying an above average number of lines of the Take Murex family - resulting in handy bitch Clementine Bale.
Paul Wheeler then takes Clementine Bale to now leading sire Where's Pedro and through the establishment or sheer persistence of breeding to Take Murex in his broodbitch Clementine Bale - combined with the emergence of leading sire Where's Pedro, carrying and bred on numerous lines of Take Murex - results in reportedly the fastest dog the Wheelers have bred and as of last Friday - 2009 Group 2 Geelong Cup winner GRIPEN BALE.
Gripen Bale is a great example of breeding to an "elite international" gene over generations. Whereby eventually a brood loaded with in this case Take Murex is waiting for an emerging star sire loaded with the exact same theme - to some just "lucky", others maybe somewhat an aligning of the stars or maybe just pure reward for dedication to the cause...

Droopys Scholes the dam sire...
Set to become a great dam sire?
Taking a look at Droopys Scholes' third generation - a good 8 lines to analyse.
Walkabout Sid: from the immortal Brother Fox x Promises Free litter - Walkabout Sid in his own right through Head Honcho, but also through his dam Promises Free and her brother Nation Parade - no peer in pre-potent broodbitch lines.
Fitzroy Lass: Head Honcho dam line and proving a global pre-potent broodbitch influence. In Ireland through pre-dominantly Top Honcho - but as has been seen through Go Wild Teddy dam sire of Faypoint Man - the common theme being Head Honcho. Not surprising when the Head Honcho tail line in recent years has produced Advert, Hades Rocket, Pure Inspiration to name a few.
Double Summit: an obscure name and gene to many. Brought to fame through the legendary Top Honcho - but further removed [Double Summit] traces back in tail line to the immortal Zulu Moss - the who's who of Australian greyhounds carry this family. Credibility, Just The Best, Bombastic Shiraz, Primo Uno, Elite State, Betty's Angel etc and we only scratch the surface of the importance of the Zulu Moss family.
Rainbow Bright: the tail dam line of Top Honcho and traces back in tail the the immortal Prairie Peg/Take Murex family. Like Zulu Moss above and even moreso, behind nearly every international great modern day greyhound. In modern times most notably through Waverly Supreme and Laurdella Fun.
I'm Slippy: "elite international gene" behind great greyhounds all over the world. Droopys Scholes carries this gene closes of modern day dam sires and that can only be seen as a positive for his daughters breeding on.
Druids Dalroy: having spoken about the negativity of this gene as far as sires go. Mainly in part to the belief this family is a highly pre-potent brood gene. Backed up by the fact Droopys Scholes dam Droopys Kristin was herself a great broodbitch. Augurs well for Scholes daughters breeding on. Further shown through Druids Dalroy descending from the Sandy Sally dam line producing Bypass Byway and further removed again the immortal Skipping Chick dam line. Arguably the greatest broodbitch line the world has seen - particularly in modern times.
Kyle Jack: immortal brood influence, behind any number of great broodbitches. Even more so in modern times through Kyle Jack's dam line of Lady Babra and the emergence of family member Farloe Melody coming to the fore in countless numbers of Australia's top broods - most notably the great Australian brood Elusive Rebel. But also through the likes of Cromlah Bale, Fenceline, Cyrus The Virus, Lansley Bale - in Lansley Bale himself a great broodbitch sire - and Farloe Melody or the shared Lady Babra gene with Kyle Jack and you have a serious pre-potent broodbitch influence.
Ballinderry Sand: the immortal broodbitch herself and tracing back to the legendary Ballinderry Moth and Skipping Chick, already mentioned above and all in all Droopys Scholes would appear to offer up an exciting mix for his daughters breeding on.
