I like them. I have 4 cocks, two reds, a grizzle and a blue bar white flight. Crossed with my old Jansen Van loons they leave very nice pigeons that go well.

A bloke here about 12 years ago had one that won 7 races and I think 4/5 feds
He purchased more from them and various sources but never got a club card with any of them
He’s the only person in my area i remember winning with one

The thing is about different strains of birds, they do well for some flyers. And nothing for others. So my Question is, is it the birds? or the loft management of some.

Lot of crap bred by everyone that with poor management and weak selection
Pigeon keepers not pigeon racers
So you need generations of winners and treat the birds like athletes and kill constantly not keep them because you haven’t got your box’s filled

I keep saying it ,forget the names on pedigree if there's not 6 winners in first 8 pigeons in pedigree leave it out ,,all this double g child ,line bred to so n so ,inbred bred in the purple its all shxte lads ,
How man Hill billies you see in USA Olympic team ,zero that's what inbreeding and line breeding produces something that looks OK on out side but thick as pudding on inside lol.
All these names makes me laugh on pedigree, grass is green but I ain't with pigeons.

Not sure devo crap is crap pal ,,
I'm honest n don't dress things up most lads who get 6 baby's of me get 4 winners some less some more and all different systems,,find a flyer who wins n selects hard n you get good birds find a good buyer with good pedigrees n you lose most the baby's because there paired on paper not on real merit .
