Hi what did people think of the pigeons what was for sale at blackpool this year,i wasnt very chuffed with what was on offer,the best ones i saw were jan& kathy lottermans birds,they were looking well and looked class,not what i could say for a lot of others,pieces of paper pedigrees were ruling i think,thats my views whats yours. :-/

should have been at blackpool today,the mardon van reets made some silly money yet again at auction. Les

I go nearly every sunday,he a gudun,and he makes us a coffee,carnt be bad eh. ;D

can access it through pigeonparadise.com uk sites at the bottom. http://uk.geocities.com/johnamellor@btinternet.com/

yes boxmeer had the janssen pigeons,or he did some years ago,think he raced well on the sprint races ,carnt just remember now the famous light cheq cock he raced. :-/

have done in the past when i had them on the allotments,they work quit well.

i must say i bred one youngster to come to win 3 times for me,but he would not come down from the house roof when he landed,one race a member in our club took the first four positions and my grizzle cock was on my roof 5 mins before the other member clocked his first pigeon.

J.Mellor has some real crackers,ive been twice and handled them,i had them off him a few years ago,i have noticed that the old stuff of johns have all the old bandit lines in them,i counted over 100 x 1st prizes in one pedigree alone of a pigeon he gave me a nice white hen,i later sold them to a friend who still has them,including a g,son of oude griz that still is on J.Mellors site on the youngsters for sale site.

Hi ritchard,can you please do one for me.ime only attending on saturday but hope to see other members.cheers.

super birds stuart,a real credit to you bud.

dont use it too much and unnecesary has i will lead you to have sick birds aswell,it is a very strong antibiotic and does keep your birds from sickness especially after they come home from racing,but same with all antibiotics,use with common sence.

id go busscheart x wildermerch and van reet sootjen, busscheart and wildermerch travel far back to the theo guilbert lines or the dark ones do anyway,van reet and sootjen were swapping birds many years ago.

now thats a pigeon,class all the way,paired to a real good hen and there sure to breed the goods. Les

i dont like the orange eyes for de klak janssens,look at your champion ballacks eye on the same page,enouth said. Les

very nicely bred janssen there,look were loverman & loverboy came from,harm vredevelds got top janssens.

Nice 1 stuart,add my name bud.

i was 13 yrs old,started with some i got off the prince of wales collirey in 1984 which was in the nestbeing reared by lost birds,i also went back when it was nearly dark and caught them when they were roosting,a black pied cock and blue pied hen,that was it i was hooked. schouwman71pigeons.piczo.com

Very interesting,nice rings.

I dont see anyone pulling them down ?

Good write up it was,had me glued to it for some time,they are certainly champs,but yea more info could have gone into it,after all it was a few pages long.

its all interesting stuff isnt it,and thatts what makes pigeon racing so facinating.

class pigeons bud,someones going to grab some crackers.

No bud its only 18ft long 4 sections, 4,half foot each,it will hold my very best stock birds,my very best yearlings and my very best youngster,all having to performances to stay at the end of the year but the voets are turning them out so ? once all my sections are done i will be posting photos on my web site showing you dont need a lot of space and birds to win.

No,all he has to do is set his managment out,start them on widowhood ,seperate his hens and exercise his birds once a day 1 hour each.when training reliese them together and let them all trap at the sametime,then send cocks every week to the races,the hens once a fortnight.Once started the rest will follow in practice,it works

Tell them if they dont stick to the original order what they advertised you will write up and discrace them in the B.H.W and be sure of it they will lose custom.Has i wouldnt want to buy from people like that.it costs enouth to start with.and you have got them over a barrel if you have the orig copy of the order,especially if they have cashed your cheque.
