Loke (also known as Boss) is standing at Stud here in Finland and enjoying his retirement from tracks on my couch. He was a very good race dog in Ireland over 575 & 600 yards. He comes from a strong (Favourite Tip/Lisnakill Flyer) damline and his sire is top producer Roanokee. I've wrote more about Lokes breeding and lines and also about his race career below.
This fawn boy is great with kids and other dogs, loves to cuddle and sleep on the warm bed. Loke also loves to walk and gallop with my girls and he's always ready to go.
If you are interested to hear more about Loke just contact me, he is available for healthy bitches. Thank you Allan Rutherford for everything, without you 'Boss' wouldn't be here.

BREEDING
Favourite Tip/Lisnakill Flyer Damline
Lokes dam Lisnak Barbie comes from a very strong and famous Irish damline, which is the one to beat. Barbies dam Lisnakill Flyer has been selected twice as the Brood Bitch of the Year in Britain (1993 & 1996). She has left two Derby winners (Shanless Slippy & Daleys Denis) to two different sires. She's also dam of the Reading Masters winner (I'm His) and many other Open winners.
Lisnakill Flyers litter sister has left Reading Masters winner & Irish St Leger finalist (Doyou Getit). This damline has left a big number of Open racers and winners including the brilliant brothers Droopys Maldini & Marco.
Barbie herself has left not only Kansil O Kee, but also dogs like Do You Hustle (Irish Midland Derby 1999 winner, TR at Mullingar 33.15-549m/600y, Peterborough Cesarewitch 2000 finalist), Time Midnight (Limerick Puppy Stake 1998 winner, Tipperary Cup 1999 & 2000 runner up), Kansil Gift (Guinness 575 2001finalist) etc.
Barbies sire Slippys Quest has left top broods like Annies Bullet, Ladys Guest, Faultless Quest, Split the Lock, Farloe Coaster. Slippys Quest himself was 3rd in the English Derby Consolation 1991 and his sire I'm Slippy won English Derby in 1983 and he has left a huge mark in pedigrees.
