I would prefer them to win in the uk myself although I know a lot of our winners win abroad first there are other strains that failed in the uk
So a successful loft in the uk at the distance I want no particular strain but also I wouldn’t want pigeons that only win at 1500ypm as on the north we get a lot more headwinds and 1300 ypm races

Drapa tend to have a pretty bad reputation in Germany a lot of people here think he's a scammer and most of his results are from cheating. I personally have 3 birds from him from the Porsche and Kittel lines but other then that I personally wouldn't trust anything from his own blood lines. I do see where you are comming from tho its just that most people over here are not the biggest fan of his

Yes Leon i understand, and it is like what we were talking about. German breeders and flyers have their own thoughts on the type of birds that are a household names over there.

I am currently keeping an eye on 4-6 cocks which all auction end in about 4-7 days we will see. we will see if I manage to get one of them. I also want to buy back the pigeon from the German classic that I raced with the 8th on the 2nd hotspot and 70th in the final when it comes to auction in October.
