Top class De Bruijn bird here , his father is a half-brother of the stock bird "Murphys Law" ! His mother is a direct daughter of "Bombarie" , one of the TOP birds at De Bruijn. This class bird was bred by Luc van Mechelen, his siblings fly with Luc, among others, the 7th National Argenton against 26,505 pigeons, the 39th National Chateauroux against 13,096 pigeons, as well as 1st prizes.

That's top class George - all the way through

The chances of that breeding good birds are pretty decent because it has a strong heritage of birds that have both performed and then produced

Is it Andy who is good at eyes I’m sure it is
Be interesting for Andy to give us a run down of one eye and a bit of info that leads him to his likes or dislikes
I don’t have a clue oneyes I have tried but I can’t get my head around the couple of books I had on the eyesign

I've verified over 100 x 1st National winners in my time and I can honestly say I've pretty much encountered every type of "eye" you can imagine

Personally I'd never ever buy a pigeon based solely on its eye.

It’s something I never understood to be honest
But do you like certain eyes at all Mike for say breeding that may be poor racers
