Great reading all,
like rose said, i think as long as the blood is there as in (distance) breeding 2 good distance birds together regardless af strain who cares. i will be racing my distance birds taking them seriously this year for the first time, as these are from distance blood, putmans, kirkpatricks, & now they are 2 year olds, i think they might (hope) start performing for us,. as we have taken them easy for the first two years, just a couple of chanel races last year.
thanks again,
great post.
