   yes you are correct gareth but that was the son John anderson they originate from a place called the hole which was in easterhouse and belonged to Tammy anderson who paid the pricely sum of  thirty bob for a white grizzle cock of 1210 breeding which should have won a number of races but was a bad trapper and the owner was going to shoot the bird when anderson offered him the money which i think was about a week and a halfs wages at the time and this cock went on to produce numerious pigeons to score from nationals and at that time bournemouths and weymouths  

 

 

Yes Sammy, you are 100% correct m8. This is the exact history of the Grizzles of A.Deans as I know it.
