im thinking of buying distance youngsters next year from louella for racing. instead of distance stock from here there everywhere to breed my own younsters am i doing right thing?
if you buy young and you lose them thay are gone but if you buy stock you can breed again thats what i think but its up to you hope it helps
intend to agree with this also,,,,get your stock now and you can breed your own rather than buy and lose them,but,stock you can breed to replace what you lose !!!
I would buy the young and race them personally i wanted a kit of 12 delbars to race this year but he paired up to late for me to use any so i left it for this year.
Look into Scotland for your distance birds think you wont go far wrong
better to buy from flying lofts if you can , save your B.H.W during racing and then read the B.H.W during closed season and see what lofts are performing at the distances you want to improve on , then you'l get good birds but the advice on how to fly the birds you wont get from Louella but you will from most flyers
yes i have bought many birds from Louella but if i could get them from a flying loft id be much happier , most of fliers that had Delbars that i liked are no longer here , Jack Roberts , Pete Bolton .................... so sometimes i buy from Louella to get the ones i want , i suppose i could go from Delbars to Belengie Delbar to the modern day Delbar Jos Thornes or try the Raevens
same gamble anywhere you go but im sure you would get better birds from a flying loft as they have been bred from current winners and not generations of untested birds
think the best delbars around were the birds of staf duserduyn of holland,think he holds the record in holland for the most 1st nat wins think he 's won 16 or 17 1st nat's
i have a pair of cattrysee from louella,s but i only have the certificate of origin but i would like to know the family which they come from ( pedigree ) if i phoned them would the be able to tell me
i would say if these were really special they would come up with the parents i know were people have done well with the 99 for six brought them back then pedigrees appears

give them a ring and have ring numbers i doubt they keep records out of the none pedigree birds , but worth a try if they have bred you something you maybe able to buy the parents
If you buy as youngsters and race them at least you will get a good idea if there any good for stock bird's .But as its been pointed out if you buy stock birds you can breed more youngsters to race.But as allways the pedigree you get is only as true as the person writing it and that applies to every pigeon be it from a big stud or small team fancier.
