When you think you’ve got a good dog, a really sensational dog, start by comparing him to Cumbria Jack. Few, if any, can match the remarkable son of Fernando Bale and Group performer Cumbria Ninno, by Barcia Bale. Bred, raced and trained by Steve Fitch, Cumbria Jack went to the races 39 times for 27 wins and nine placings, recording an outstanding 70 percent winning strike rate and 93 percent place strike rate. Along the way, he claimed five Group victories, headed by the G1 National Sprint, as well as the G2 Richmond Derby, G2 Cyndies Magic, G3 The Ambrosoli and G3 Origin Match. He also set or equalled five track records, including 28.99 at Q2 Parklands, 29.04 at Wentworth Park, 29.01 at Richmond, 25.74 at Bulli and 25.15 at Q1 Lakeside.
His record goes far beyond Group wins and track records. Cumbria Jack is the only dog in history to run 520m in under 29.11 on four occasions across three different tracks, and only the second dog to break 29 seconds for 520m. He broke 29.60 over the distance 16 times and ran the best of the day in 17 of his 27 victories. His final start saw him narrowly beaten into second in the G1 Brisbane Cup, while he was also second in the G3 Origin Sprint, third in the G1 Ipswich Gold Cup and a finalist in the G1 The Phoenix and G2 Bulli Gold Cup.
Broodbitch owners expect a stud dog to tick every box, and Cumbria Jack does exactly that. From a litter of eight, all eight were winners, with litter sister Cumbria Chrissy winning the G2 Richmond Oaks and finishing second in the G1 Gold Bullion, while Cumbria Benny was third in the G1 Vic Peters and reached nine Group finals. Backed by a powerful female line that has produced Group winners, track record holders and more than $1.3 million in prizemoney, Cumbria Jack brings together the proven influence of Fernando Bale, Barcia Bale, Collision and Bombastic Shiraz. His pedigree also offers breeders enormous versatility, with strong opportunities for bitches carrying Feral Franky, Shima Shine, Aussie Infrared, Bernardo, Dyna Double One, Cosmic Rumble, Tommy Shelby, Aston Rupee and dominant outcross bloodlines.
Cumbria Jack ticks every box, and then some.
We understand people have females coming onto season every day of the week and planning which stud dog to use is a very important decision.
Our online “Semen Request Form” allows breeders to put in their request at any time of the day that suits. Once submitted, a confirmation email will be sent back with availability, price and payment details to get semen organized. Alternatively, breeders can call us during business hours so we can arrange a vial.
Quite often semen may already be available at the most popular facilities we use in Australia, although the busier stud dogs may be sold out or only available to females on season therefore stored at our facility only. If semen is not available at the vet clinic, we can easily ship overnight express to ensure semen arrives at the clinic quickly.
Once we receive payment, your paperwork will be promptly emailed or posted to you for your records. A copy will also be emailed to the veterinary facility and Greyhounds Australasia to get transfer of vial into the breeders name ready to be used when the female is on season.
Please download and view the Meticulous Lodge Terms of Trade, effective November 11, 2021, before ordering or requesting Frozen Semen.
