That guy seems tae forget he's gotta get through customs when the plane lands. If it's unregulated flights Trump will have them shot doon !!!

This young Dk Ch Ck was a LSC Exchange doo bred by Joe Spiers of Airdrie. Vandenabeele Shadow lines.

N'er the twain shall meet I reckon í ½í¸‚

Ave looked at the percentages quite a number of times Stevie and, in my loft at least, the percentage of latebreds taken to the percentage of early bred birds is miles better. That's me looking at the Few noteable pigeons I've been lucky enough to race. Personally I believe it's because the Latebreds are taken from the Real cream of the crop who are in the condition of their lives. Jmo.

Good pigeons Ryan and appear to cross into most families. I'm by no means up to speed with who's who or names of champs but the Kruger birds are spoke of highly by a lot of guys up here. This one is to be run with the Blk Wf Dble g/son of Black Caviar and the G/Son of GWP's Young Bandiet later in the year tae see what she throws.

Shouldn't Stick to anything Stevie, gotta be prepared tae go against yer own natural instinct and everything you've been taught sometimes, like me no training!! My Da was every Tues Wed Thurs right through the season and I never knew any different growing up but a was prepared tae make the changes and This Time at least it appears to have paid off. Would echo Davie in that I always take a pair out of my best racers at the end of racing, as did ma Da.

That wee hen I got fae Reims is a 2014 latebred....July bred. No training/racing 2014 2015 jumped into Wetherby 167mls, slept out then sent tae Fed comeback race fae Otterburn 80mls. Probably Did train her in 2015 but canny say how often/infrequently. 2016 NO TRAINING...back tae Wetherby and done ok. Into Kettering 240mls, 2nd bird home. Next planned race was Thirsk the week before the Gold Cup but it was cancelled so I bit the bullet and took 14 doon tae Gala and put them up in 2's which she done ok....then intae the SNFC Gold Cup and finishes 9th Sec 61st Open. Only the 5th race of her life and only 4 times in a basket 2016 My Ypres hen was a 2008 latebred, her G/Sire was the best pigeon I've ever raced, he was a 2003 latebred and scored well in carrying 4 nest flights fae Maidstone 361mls in 2004 and went on tae race for 5 seasons winning Good Money every year he raced. My whole history in this game has Good Latebreds peppered right through it.

That's the replacement for the Blackppol hen Dougie, she never recovered am afraid. :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Bought her blind Higgy, which can be a disappointment some times, but she is bang on ðŸ‘

New kid on the block, Kruger hen just bought in. From Back Power lines.

Thanks very much, that's appreciated. ðŸ‘

A wee triable for ye Bilit

It took him all of two sentences tae completely loss me on Photography so I reckon he's safe enough Tommy

Blue Vandenabeele Ck today.

2015 Blue Ck who was my timer 3 times in 2016, hope he carries his form into this season.

Now I know the strength of him I will be making a lot more use of him. Shoulda been taking 3 nests a year off him instead of 1 nest in 3 years. !!!!

Amazon Fire Stick re programmed to watch Everything for free is what you need :emoticon-0127-lipssealed:

Just a wee Fad of mines Ryan that's all mate.

Today's pic is of a Van Den Heuval Ck I bought at Blackpool 3yrs ago. He is sire to the hen I timed from Ypres last season, the Only nest I have taken from him since purchase, before the Why's start it's because I was told he was a sprinter after I bought him and that put me off a bit. :emoticon-0179-headbang: The hen i timed is pictured on post 56 of this thread He is sire to the Yb donated to the charity sale that Ian is about to start.

Aye it diz wash George, they've put them in a section that they DON'T border, there lies the problem !! 50 yrs ago?? think you're getting coaching there coz I had that put tae me the other night when I highlighted the Liberty that's trying tae get through here. Couldn't be more Against it !!!!!

Was watching out for this as the last couple of years they have been poor, but have to say the lot I got are ok this time round🙂

Am wondering if he will get darker with age, providing he's around long enough to see !!!

Go early again.. Same Ck in two different lights, he is out of the pencil hen above when paired a Dble G/Son of Black Caviar. His nest mate is the Dark Ck I put up a few days ago. Two very evenly matched young Cks.

Just made a successful claim for PPI and the Tax man even took a slice of that and a BIG slice at that !! :crying:
