A good Cross with Kirkpatricks

[Speckled Jim]

Have birds with some Kirkpatrick bloodlines can anyone suggest a good strain to put into this family that might produce good birds.

van hee

[sapper756]

Janardens or Buschaerts, would be a good cross

[Guest youngzimmy]

briqoux  not shure of the right spelling

[cowman]

barkers make an excellant cross with kirkpatricks

[OLDYELLOW]

have found a few good crosses for the kirkpatricks , Delbar , Van Hee , Van Loon , Jansens , Van Braunes , Sootjen however if you want to keep them to the strains already in them try Putman , Sion and Bricoux

im afraid that names or breeds of birds dont mean a lot to me,, there are many  so-called breeds which make good pigeons , there are many so-called" same breeds" which wont :-/   i would prefer crossing pigeons that you intend for distance /sprint,  etc with pigeons that are bred from winners or prizewinners of your intended distance , no matter what so called " breed " many "breeds"  are either, wattered down through the years, or very inbred,, a good cross from good pigeons can produce a strong hybrid vigour,, only my opinion,, but wish you well

Busschearts cross well with kirkpatricks, the ones I crossed all turned out to be hard pigeons. One thing I did notice was if you dropped them as Y.B.s you never saw them again. After that the had hearts like lions. Still have some that are mostly red grizzle.

same as Jimmy my views amongst strains, i look for good pigeons when bringing in pigeons, they must come from winning lines, as then you can make your own gene pool, a gene pool full of winners is alot better then a gene pool where the closest winners are G.Gran Sires and G.Gran dams, better to have winners throughout the pedigree, sire,dam,g.sire,g.dam, as you have much better chance in producing winners. As soon as a bird enters your loft like the belgians it should be your strain!!!

Bricoux  SION Kirkpatrick  THESE THREE BREEDS WERE BLENDED TOGETHER AND WERE A VERY COMPETETIVE FORCE  FOR A LONG TIME POSSIBLY EVEN TODAY IF YOU CAN GET THEM

[Guest gladdo]

ive a good idea put them to winners mate and you wont go wrong id say ... best chance you can t beat winning jean ...but i suppose there are few off here that breed off birds that never seen a basket and they breed the cream of the crop !!!!! mikey
