john@formula 1 lofts Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 How many do Louella bred every year 10,000 + how many national winners each year come from them from what i see in the book's web site not that many.

Thats my point john, you know more than most being a breeder yourself how many birds they must be putting out each year, if they were that good there would be national winners everywhere from them but there aint.
glenrandal Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 we have all spent hard earned on birds that the owners guarnteed will win at the distance and are bred of first prize winners only to be disappointed when they failed miserably ....................
BLACK W F Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 SOME ONE P*** TAKING AGAIN I AM NOT AN OWNER HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH LOUELLA I JUST STARTED THIS THREAD TO GET PEOPLES OPINIONS THATS ALL BUT I DO THINK THERE ARE DESENT BIRDS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES YOU PAYS YOUR MONEY TAKES YOUR CHANCE
Guest strapper Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 reading through the posts i think its clear not many get birds from louella,s as they used to do years a go. they offer fairly cheap affordable birds to race. but dont expect to win nationals with them just because they are from there. i had a staff van reet(£99 for 6) that bred me a bird to win several club/fed cards when x with a bird of mine. but the other 5 just bred racing pigeons everyone knows of the strong rumours about ill birds coming from there...true or false i think its put people off buying there. remember the saying apples dont fall far from the tree...so buy close to the original champ as possible...like squash...the more water you put in it ,the taste gets weaker!
holmsidelofts Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 ...like squash...the more water you put in it ,the taste gets weaker! I like that quote strapper, i think i will have to pinch that from you my friend, lol.

Guest shadow Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 I personally know fanciers who have bought old stock from them and bred winners , you pay your money and take a chance even if you buy from clearance sales. :)
Guest grizzler Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 i wouldnt go to a place like louella for birds, i prefer to go to the succesful breeder/racer for stock.....this my own personel view, not knocking anyone who choses to buy stock from them,which ever route you decide to take, the very best of luck to you. steve
