If they are mongrels then they are very popular mongrels.

No offence, but the thread / questions makes no sense. Grizzle has nothing to do with strain, it is a feather pattern, and can come in different colours. I have never heard of a strain that were all grizzles, but know that all grizzles don't belong to one strain.

 

I'd say grizzle was amongst the top for feather quality, soft & silky.

could not argue with that.............

There is no such thing as a pure racing pigeon. The only thing that remains constant is the fact that their breeding is aimed at winning races. Although some fanciers prefer a certain colour, most will get to like any colour size or shape, if the bird wins often enough.

I like nice clean looking blues and grizzles and I like medium sized pigeons. My two best birds are big horses. One is a dull smokey checker and the other is a smokey checker pied. And I soon got to like them when they both gave me brilliant results.

Nothing wrong the grizzles the kirkpatric strain still going strong they were a good bird I'm happy I managed obtain a cracker today can't wait get him on Sunday

Grizzles were always looked down upon by other club members in the seventies,until they where in the top standings.I was the only one with them in my club,they were the Debacq strain.

I had one in the seventies,members in our club looked up to him,when he went past their lofts they knew there's wouldn't be long.A Scottish stray caught on the docks, reported and was a gift from the owner.

spot on ib,we have won in club fed combine and nationals since the 70s with our grizzle line of birds. ;) :)feather quality superb.

[Guest Owen]

If it is anything to go by, I have sent two grizzles to the race today. Brother and sister. I expect them to be in the first 6 in the Club and well up in the Fed. As far as strain goes, they are my own. I would not dream of mating two related birds together, and in practise that means that I mate birds from differant families together as a matter of course. So, I supose, I have a family of birds that are unique to me. Maybe, one day, someone will call them by my name and bragg about them for the next hundred years or more. Dreams are made of stuff like this.
