slinky slitheroe Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Does anyone know if there are any George Fabry pigeons in the UK, and who has them ? Louella used to have them years ago might still have some yet?
glencameron Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Les Stevens of Sittingbourne Kent was a source of many of the Fabrys in the UK. One loft in the mid 80’s Pete Beadle of Humber on Barton had a successful family of these at club and Fed level. One pigeon I remember was Humber Pride which had over 20 firsts and three or four first feds in the racing against the likes of Kevin Hurst, Tuplin etc. . Georges Fabry: son of Victor and therefore the grandson of Georges Fabry still races pigeons relatively successfully in Liege. As an aside ….. Anybody who has Staf van Reets has an element of Fabry. (The Janssen Line that was pre-dominate for Van Reet was the half Fabry line Victor Vansaalen in Masters of Breeding and racing states Van Reet original base as Jansen/Fabry and Hermans of Luitahgen (Bricoux origin see also … Theelen, Marcellis ) . Anybody Janssen fancier with the Witoger and Merckx lines (and therefore the 019 , Young Merckx etc) has descendants of the Porthos of Fabry (the grandfather of the Half Fabry)

Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 i think the queens lofts still has some fabry blood in them
JAS Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Carlo still has them and crossed with Van Bruane. We have them from Carlo and they have bred winners every year since 2002 when we got the first of them. They are now crossed in with our Jan Aardens and Janssens both and winners coming from both crosses.
