Black Pigeons

[Okitsme]

Hi Guys,

 

Does anybody know about a strain of black pigeons called something like Achilluisse. I know I have not got the spelling right so if anybody can give me some info that would be great.

 

Thanks

They are sprinters but never seemed to take off over here, have raced a few but they wern't any better than anything else!

I have a pair now, gifted to me and could not for the life of me find any information on them. I raced the cock this year as a yearling and he did not do too bad. I am hoping he will do better next. Thanks for the info guys.

I think somebody called Dave Cork flew them fairly well.

Yes I think he did.

 

Bernie Bennet who writes in the BHW had some of his and wrote about them regularly.

 

Did they originate from Verottes?

 

[pjc]

not sure of the origins

Also think R. Faulkner had them and the name Perry comes to mind (Norfork way I think)

I have some Leus pigeons and yes they did come from the verrottes. I bought the originals from Natural in 2005 and bred pure and crossed with my busshearts and distance stuff(southwells). They say they are sprinters out to about 250 miles but my mate scored well with one from 450. I personally prefer the crosses for racing.
