pjc Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 lovely birds, do you still have them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Unfortunately NO my lofts were on the farm where I worked and when I was made redundant I had to get rid and nobody local was interested in them as they all fly the newer Belgian and Dutch super families (although my Shores did a good job of beating them lol) Just wish I could find some more now I am re-starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I remember meeting Joe, a great guy, somebody must still have some of his birds but i think its a few years since i've seen any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novice Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 The Joe Shore birds were real quality. I had a friend who introduced them into this area and wone with them almost immediately. I believe the originals were managed very close to nature. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has these now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
