jimmy white Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 i would much rather cultivate my own strain , again depending on the distances you aim at,, but this takes a lot of time and a lot of trial and error
Guest Paulo Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 busschaerts Jannsens Walter Doxc Vanderbeeles will all be in young bird team for next year
Guest CS Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Spirinter and middle distance is the main thing for me...
Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Marcellis, Meulemans and Van Reets for the races up to Bergerac. Then my Distance team is mainly Eric Cannon bloodlines with some Kirkpatrick, Van Berkels and Southwells.
peterpau Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 Interesting this Craig. Can't seem to find any strain that excell normally left with just an odd one after 5/600mls. Old strains seem to hang in there better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 I was thinking of trying some mardon van reets , but now the mardon's have packed up I wouldn't know where the best place to go would be. For future reference does anyone know where the best place to go is. Cheers

Pompey Mick Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 I wouldn't say a had a breed of pigeons, more like a blend, started in 1962 with a ragbag army of 8 pair of birds, added a pinch of Kirkpatricks in '65 from Johnston of Larne, given a pair by my Uncle, the late Jack Inch of Portsmouth, added some McLaren Southwells from my pal Jimmy Shepherd then I acquired some Alf Bakers including a ten year old cock called 'The Kelly Cock' who bred some lovely birds, followed this with a Van Bruane cock from Jimmy Shepherd again.1984 purchased a yearing Cattrysse Cock and yearling Cattrysse hen from The Natural Breeding Station and in 2000 bought some Roland Jannsen/Seger White Bandits and I have recently got some De Klaks to blend with these White Grizzles. I also have had the odd pigeon from other strains over the years Fauconnier, De Baere, Honeysuckle Jannsen spring to mind. I was checking through my records recently. going down memory lane, and I managed to trace the bloodlines of one of my 2006 Y.B's right back to my first birds in 1962, it was nice to know I still had something of those early birds in my loft even though they weren't the greatest.
gangster Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 JANSSENS(KLAK/EIJERKAMP/ECT).ALSO INTRODUCED A FAMILY OF MID DISTANCE BIRDS(THANKS TOMMY)

jimmy_bulger Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 i think personally decide what disipline you want to race at, then buy a family that is good at that, then make em your own via trial and error ie: mr baskett jimmy.
Guest CS Posted October 20, 2006 Report Posted October 20, 2006 I was thinking of trying some mardon van reets , but now the mardon's have packed up I wouldn't know where the best place to go would be. For future reference does anyone know where the best place to go is. Cheers What about Mark Caudwell and Dean Pallet?...
