in all honesty Lewis i dont know enough . my late Father had dark Buschearts when i was a boy , and won very well with them. when i started ,was many times offered Buschearts ... but turned them down under the feeling what was about 25 years ago wouldnt be any good today.in my first year was given a youngster and told will tell you about the parents if you still have it at year end .won my first "old bird" card with this cock ,he is in the stock loft and has bred me a winner every year ,and youve guessed it .... he is a Bushceart

Aye its amazing the impact these birds have had in UK at every level.The pigeons my dad was lucky enough to start off with were the Billy Parkes of Killyleigh pigeons-incredible birds.Last years SNFC Kings Cup winner was bred from a Gold award winner which can be traced back to Billy Parkes "Barney" winner of 21 or 22(memory) first przes."Barney" was bought by Louella along with "Ireland's dream Girl" which had 38 x1st,supposedely the record for a Busschaert pigeon.Some doos!!!

 

Think Supermac also had a hen called "Speckle" out the aformentioned "Newton Pair".Wouldn't like to do sums but apparently "Speckle" is responisble for hundreds of 1st prize winners-generation after generation

this one of mine is apparently "supermac" lines , the gentleman who gifted it to me was 90 years old when i got it . that was 7 years ago .
