leighton1984 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 They do look nice but you can go to Holland and pick 6 baby's up from some one that races very well for the same price. they allways look better when they are winning i have seen pigeons that are so ugly that it makes you sick looking at them but when they start to bring the prices in they turn in to show birds in your eye's. it's what's in side them what makes the pigeon. you pay your money and take your chance but you do not have to spend lots if you look in the right places.

Novice Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 At Blackpool show last year there was a sale on behalf of Lowik Brothers. In that sale there was a pigeon which had been bred by Bob Mc Donald which they bought at his sale. This made me think about why a Dutch loft bought a Scottish pigeon when that family originated in Holland. I'm not sure whether or not I have reached a conclusion yet.

Novice Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 to use as a cross novice mate Hi Jimmy---what I was thinking was did Lowik Bros think that Bob had taken the originals and improved on them by racing them in a harsher environment.

pjc Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 I would love some of them again but I was just realy saying the birds at auction wern't a patch on what i'd seen before but that may well be no reflection on the stock he had at home.
