superstar Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 A friend of mine has asked me to sell 3 pairs of his Martin D'Hondt pigeons. They were bred by him from direct stock via Ian Stafford and are sure to please as they take a bit of shaking, a rare thing thesedays it seems! He is looking in the region of £50 per pair, which is cheep as i know he paid several hundred pounds for each of the original stock pairs. the pairs are listed below, feel free to contact me for more information and i will do my best to get the questions answered for you. Pair No1 :- Dark Pied cock GB05H15118 X Grizzle hen GB05V47143. Pair No2 :- Grizzle cock GB05H15119 X Grizzle hen GB05V47156. Pair No3 :- Grizzle cock GB03V44191 X Grizzle hen GB04J79707.

pigeonpete Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 Hi mark, have you got any pics please? i am interested but am after grizzle sprinters regards pete
superstar Posted August 1, 2006 Author Report Posted August 1, 2006 Hope to have some pics of the birds sometime tomorrow pete.
superstar Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 They are for sale as he no longer races and has bred a round off them for his grandson to race this season. Here are the pics as promised and before anyone says it I know im not david bailey lol.
whiteflight Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Have these pairs bred any prizewinners ?
mark Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 only pair 3 have the chance of breeding winners the other pairs are 05 birds so this will be there 1st year breeding.
superstar Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 They are from generations of winners and like breeds like! This guy wouldnt have them if they were no good. I have had many of the Van Reets off him myself, and they couldnt touch me round here when i was racing. I have bred a team for my son to race this year and even a 15yr old racing them to the perch hasnt been out of the cards yet in his first 2 races and the rest of the club are on the darkness and widowhood Etc, so this must tell you something of the caliber of the birds No real motivation and still in there every week!
mark Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 pender, he did say he was no david bailey with the camara, and with the birds going through the moult so perhaps the picture does not do the birds justice would you look your best ??? when going through the moult,
superstar Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Posted August 3, 2006 rough looking buggers i like them They might be rough looking buggers but they are good pigeons with good reliable blood in them. The bloke that they belong to takes no prisoners, they work hard and if they cant stick it they wouldnt be there i tell you. If its pretty pigeons people want then show racers are the thing, they look good everyday of the year but are as thick as pig s***! Try racing one then you will see looks are skin deep. Pender im glad you like them though, i love an ugly bird too, you should see my wife lol
pender Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 mark read my post again, i said i liked them and they do look rough superstar says that him self. that does not bring them down, sometimes that is what is rong wen people go to buy birds they always pick the good looking ones. they all start to look good once they have won lol. and il not comment on your wife lol
grahamec Posted August 3, 2006 Report Posted August 3, 2006 hi mark i am intrested in the van reets did they score as y.bs .
superstar Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Posted August 4, 2006 Pender no worries, i was just having a bit of fun thats all, i know you said you liked them, and they are a little rough in the feather at the moment but its what they are from, and what they can breed that counts in my opinion. Put them in the hands of someone that knows what to look for and i bet they cant fault them! Living proof that beauty doesnt win a race came the day i entered the dads race at my kids sports day hahaha, they were ashamed and didnt speak to me for a week lol Grahamec The birds are sold sorry.
