Hi Rene, I would say there is no such thing as pure Sions left after all these years certainly not a family winning out of turn, maybe gggggg grand children of a bird that once won a race but they are pets not racers. Jose Ledesma in Spain who runs the derby Arona Teneriffe has a family of Sions with a little Janssen in the blood and these birds win when the chips are down and they will cross the water as they descend from generation after generation that win out of turnand fly over the sea as they have to fly from islands every race they have.

yes mate totaly agree with you on that i dont think there is any such a thing as a pure breed as every breed has been watered down with this in that and that in this

there was a bloke about 25 years ago i used to go and see when he was convoyer for i think woenrfc , i used to go and see him when he brought the pigeons upto lancaster as that was a race point at the time, i was only 16 and he brought me 6 youngsters up once absolute crackers mainly mealies with nut brown eyes what i can remember, he had a family of sions but sadly died he raced in somerset and his wife still did have the birds and sold ybs in the bhw from this family, i saw her advertising last year his name was paul white , hope this helps

yes the family i had some from were all reds and mealys but did throw the odd blue or cheq
