Best way to look at it George, some folk will buy anyone's rubbish .....I. haven't bought a pigeon for a quite a few years now, I bought all my van resets about6 years ago then 2 or 3 one loft birds since then, I won't ever be buying any more pigeons

i only buy raced birds now David

I think it's the best way George, breed and race on performance, not what some distant ancestor did generations ago ....too many advertised on the strength of distant ancestors .

If I was to start up again it would be with 24 well bred youngsters from Massarella.

All would be tried hard on the road and the best kept to form my own family with no introductions for several years, those retained for stock would fly out with the racers, no prisoners.

Vertualy what I did second time round.

Worked for me.

First time round bought top class stock birds or close relatives, it worked but hard work compaired to the latter.



Regards.

In the 1980's we bought young birds from masserellas misty, we raced them all ending up with the best of them, they did pretty well for us too .......

Families we bought were van hee which were dark bronze chequers, lefebre dahaens , verheys and deny brothers birds, all raced well for us .

the problem i have one will be a champion pair to a sister /brother not raced not like years ago champion to champion

If I ever race again, I'll pair best to best on how they perform racing, if I manage to win any 1st prizes I will pair winner to winner ....

Looking at the photos there George in general     Maybe your right with your thinking type thing.

Cannot see any with a bid on them.

Wrong time of the year.

Think the fancier will have to have a bigger loft.
