If they made transfers, distances etc etc free then you could understand it but why should members pay more so they can have a pay rise and some more jolleys!
dogs keep ending up in wrong hands whatever breed!
Tomorrow i'm picking up a lab, 3yrs old, rehomed rescue with a 70yr old!
Who would re-home a dog with a 70yr old disabbled single woman?
Now i'm taking it to lab rescue for rehoming!
beutyhomer and many of the fancy guys will tell you a true tiger marked bird is manufactured and not bred!
It is an outlawed practice but with certain breeds if you pulled coloured feathers they would regrow white so to make a tiger marked bird alternate flights would be pulled along with cover flights to grow back white and produce a bird with stunning markings.
Parents and grandparents had pigeons but my first own bird bird was from a guy in the next village, I was then given a bird by Bill Love, then some through a friend of my grandfathers from Vic Robinson and W Steele.
Those were the days!
