Another thing that occures to me is the amount of moths the song birds are decimated so the moths flurrish.Just look in your drinkers in the summer.

Name the person responsible.Explain how his Barrister won the case.Ensure this loophole is closed.

Aye all the Jannsen bros dead except one. Oh and he wasnt a pigeon man he was the clerk.Roland if you private message me i will give you a Jannsen for your future use and racing.Its true all the belgian strains have a little J in them.The Lambrechts of Carl and Cyril say theres no Jannsen in them.However thre is Hugo Marris and the Marris brothers pigeons have the J.

It has been a huge pleasure contributing to this wonderfull thread ive had a lovely trip down memory lane. After each name that comes up of the exponants of this fantastic family loads of memorys and anacdotes spring to mind. When you consider the influance these birds have had pure and crossed.I noticed an advert in the book this week of someone looking for a copy of the book Breeders digest.This book explains Georges methods of line breeding.

At the time a unique colony of Busschaerts.All based around the Corbett darks.The no 1 and 2 pairs Ben Madina had a lot of this family.Brilliant but for the failing health of George Turner.This particular colony lives on with Phil Ball of Romney Marshes. 01797 344751.

Yes i had a dtr off Anchor Jack paired to Jubilee Grace.I also sold Micheal the wonder cock Domino.A Belgian son of Rapido paired toWilma.

Yes i had a dtr off Anchor Jack paired to Jubilee Grace.

De45 mother was a grizle

Rapido was a super cock, At the end he was loaned to Micheal Johnson of Clwde lofts in exchange for the loan of Wrarside Queen.Sadly on his return to Aldred he only sired 1 more young a cock named Manitoa. Rapido infertile was given to Taylor bros Newbiggon.

Go back on the thread to the pigeon Birthday boy he was a very gay pied Rapido cock i sold his mother to Maurice.She was a white hen.If memory serves a g/dtr of Rapido.

Birthday boy and birthday girl were gay pieds ownd by a milkman called Maurice Ditchburn from Peterlee.

The real reason, He bought was long distance had gone very popular.Sprint was out of vogue.So great pigeons were for sale cheapish.Just like here hords have bought Roland Jannsens they will be for sale soon.Lambrechts, when the fancy realises these only stay 180 they will go the same way.

I have heard often Belgian fanciers alledge they have not heard of Busschaert.They are not being entirely frank, it wasnt convenient to have heard of him.To have acknowledged him would have diminished sales of there own birds.This is a funny anacdote of a jurney George set out to take 3 yb to Jules Gallas of Belgian methods 1 2 3 4 5 etc fame.George called into the bar as he was inclined to do.While supping his beer a friend says george whats in the pannier replies George 3 babies for Jules.Wow there lovely as time progressed george says to the friend take one. He then set off again to Jules after a while more beer was required so he enteres another bar.A further friend says George were you going same reply same outcome by this time George tight as a tick sets out again with the one remaining yb.George meets a friend on the street who says whats in the basket a yb please take it im going home.So if the most famouse jurnalist in Belgium has heard of him. the rest have.

Oh sorry Apachie topped the Up North Combine.

The Tele Savalas you speak of is the second one the first being owned and bred by Woodroffe bros Sunderland.A nest mate to Apachie he won 3 telivisions hence his name.

John Soderland is an ace and im sure he will have up and coming champions at all times as long as he races.Parkside supermans children were changing hands at £600 each twenty years ago.I think if his prodgeny were compared to the new champion they woul bare comparison.

It has been alledged Parkside Superman is or was a cross never denied.But equally never proven i guess only John knows. As for John having kept better doubtfull an offer knowone could refuse was made by louis accepted by Soderland

Which Superman are we talking about.If this is the John Soderland Superman he was the most expensive English bred Busschaert ever sold.

Answers to the quiz.1 George was imprisoned by the Germans for stealing motors from there cars.2 Spanish hence Nica Nora,Paloma et al.3 Hercules,Klienje,Grote Zwarten and Dago.

A canny few.

Heres a little Busschaert poser for you George was imprisoned for what rason.2 what langiuge did he learn at 70 years old 3Name 4 sons of the little black bred by George.

Ok bud.

Sorry to seem at odds with your opinion, Red20 was not the sister to Pluto. Red20 was bred by Kevin Hurst Pluto was bred by George.

Its funny Pluto was a distance pigeon but his children were middle distance. If you look at the white Commines they are the same family Pluto was a Commines pigeon.

Georges favourit was pluto although tight when he was sold George cried like a baby when he only made £820.Nero was another and was never sold.DE85 was champion race cock in 1968 but sadly hit the wires and was killed.
