I'm like you Tony. I like to see as many really good performance pigeons and/or performance breeders as prominent in any pedigree as possible because then, when breeding young from these pigeons you're not reinventing the wheel by asking them to perform. There's not a family out there who win in ev...

"GREIPEL" is a cracking breeder. Very often overshadowed by his famous brother "KITTEL" - that's not a crime because "KITTEL" knocks shades of most pigeons as a racer/breeder. That's why his name has become the most famous name in the game this last 10 years If you loo...

After baby racing n yearling racing you be left with exactly the same pigeons, You can protect n prob birds up but when there racing only strong get home and only the good ones are lucky enou...

Plus them 3 hens were already good or they wouldn’t have been in your loft past the yearling stage I think some people keep pigeons in hope then justify being right with the odd club card without realising how many times they have been wrong and breeding off the rubbish that they allowed to get to ...
