In the last 3 months I've fielded more requests about distance pigeons than I have in the last 3 years

And Here's the 2 x 1st BICC winner "HUGO" ( also 104th International Barcelona at 697 miles)
He's bred lots of good pigeons including being G.Sire of 3rd Open NFC Tarbes 2024

Evening Mike.
Can I ask if do you know anything about the breeder of the pigeon Jack Jones in your latest post?
The reason I ask is because of the name Stoffel. I was given a pigeon by a club mate some time ago and he said it was bred from his old Soffel family (at least thats what I thought he said) but he could well have said Stoffel.
I thought that Soffel was a very old strain of pigeons that I had never heard of.

Mike will know more but I think he’s a German fancier not a old family to my knowledge
