Guest puresoontjen Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 hi are they van loons silver shadows
OLDYELLOW Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 yes which go back to Jack Tournier The koopman birds are Van Loons been crossed with Van Dyck
BANDIT Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 They are cracking looking birds, what distance do they fly, they would go well with my roland jansenns if I had the room bandit
OLDYELLOW Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 The old Tourniers are an all distance family and most fanciers on the continent sought Tourniers birds to make there familys all rounders i should imagine with the base of Van Loon been Catrysse and Jansen these should do well at the longer races
Guest puresoontjen Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 cracking looking birds i must say but dont no what bread no' 11, is it a bluebar cock of some sort lol ;D ;D
OLDYELLOW Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 well as silver shadows are Van Loon i imagine the blue cocks a Van Loon
swilcox Posted November 27, 2008 Author Report Posted November 27, 2008 The Silver Shadow Van Loon have around 25% Tournier in them, they are Based around Silver Shadow, Silverman, Silver Bullet, Silver Star and Silver Boy. Aad Van Berkel bred and raced all of these and in the 90' Silver Shadow, Man and Bullet moved to Eijerkamps. They are super nice pigeons.
DeDarren Posted November 28, 2008 Report Posted November 28, 2008 The old Tourniers are an all distance family and most fanciers on the continent sought Tourniers birds to make there familys all rounders i should imagine with the base of Van Loon been Catrysse and Jansen these should do well at the longer races They got everywhere! Even the 'super sprinters' of Rene Nauwelaerts have Tournier bloodlines.
Guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Posted November 28, 2008 i have a larg number of silver shadow based birds all are top class.i am going to telford and hope these birds for sale are as good have a good sale mr wilcox.
Roland Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 nice aint they WHAT!!!! Yes Stamvater, a proven great! But where are we here? Get real. I may be nissed as a pewt, but golly
Guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 well i did go to telford and yes the silver shadow auction was top class.well done mr wilcox.
BLACK W F Posted December 1, 2008 Report Posted December 1, 2008 what sort of prices did they make and where they y/bs or o/bs or a mixture
swilcox Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Posted December 1, 2008 The sale went very very well. The birds avaraged £170 plus each and a few Grizzles went for upto £400. The birds really looked the part and its was nice to see both buyer and seller enjoy the event. I have already managed to book Aad Van Berkel into next years Telford show. Interesting that five x 1st National winners purchased birds including C Lloyd, N Templer, Gary Summers, Crowley & Green etc so in my mind these are going to do some winning now there in the right hands. But all in all as the auctioneer i really enjoy it and the bunters seemed well happy that is was a fair ran auction. Stuart
