PATTY BHOY Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 what would be the best distance for these birds.
OLDYELLOW Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 Have to agree with middle to distance birds from there type
The Navigator Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 I think from looking at the pedigrees of mine that they are to better suited from 250 plus, the only reason i say this is i see alot of the Maurice Delbar in the pedigrees of some. No doubt i will be corrected but thats my opinion. Agree, 250 onwards.
PATTY BHOY Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 An excellent distance line well suited to the longer, tougher races. They cross well with Janssens to produce general distance racers.
OLDYELLOW Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 Seem to have answered your own thread :-/
Guest blythy1 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 what would be the best distance for these birds. 95% of jos thones are middle to long distance.
PATTY BHOY Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Posted November 17, 2008 like to get thoughts of different people :)

REDCHEQHEN Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 I have just one - a yearling hen (this year) been to 317 miles - but hasn't shone yet (shrug) she is quite a big hen
just ask me Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 we all know what these pigeons have done for brian sheperd and others in the big wins unbelivale but just seaching the mags i dont really see to many pll winning with them week in week out on the middle distance races or sprint or am i wrong just something ive think ive noticed
OLDYELLOW Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 i think they came about when Roland Jansens were getting all the hype so i dont think they have been as commercial as other breds but i do like the Jos Thones
just ask me Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 yes but there must be a fair few in england now that this stage
OLDYELLOW Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 well if louella got hold of them they'd be in a lot more lofts and they'll take a couple of years to get a good team of them together
Bad Trapper Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 I see there is a sale at Tipton on Sunday of Jos Thone's. Not sure how much they wil make as the Auction prices have been down lately, suppose it might have something to do with the current economic climate.

just ask me Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 i dont know i think there here a while now just expected more from them havent seen to much to be honest
Guest asha Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 How can anyone compare real national stuff of Thones up to hyped up trash of roland ,it`s unblevable on here ,i`ve never heard so much rubbish,how can you lot actually believe those dodgy dvd`s hyping roland janseens, ;D ;D
just ask me Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 well my point is should there not be more winners week in week out with jos thones
OLDYELLOW Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 How can anyone compare real national stuff of Thones up to hyped up trash of roland ,it`s unblevable on here ,i`ve never heard so much rubbish,how can you lot actually believe those dodgy dvd`s hyping roland janseens, ;D ;D asha i was saying the in fashon birds were Rolands there was no comparison and im sorry i would want a Roland Jansen in my loft no mater how well bred it was
john@formula 1 lofts Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 I think there have been some very good results in national racing with the Jos Thone birds. Brain Sheppard 1st and 2nd International. J&J Brady 1st,2nd,10th 12th,19th & 22nd open nfc also 2x2nd open BICC in 2008 to name two top flyers with these birds. John
Merlin Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 The Thone Birds are top class albeit ,expensive possibly the reason they haven't attained flavour of the month status,the early Rolands were decent birds,the latter leave a lot to be desired,just my opinion.
johnny11 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 I have a friend who is selling some Thones if anyone interested. he has sons of the top pigeons Sumo, Poco sars etc John
just ask me Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 some top results there but still got no one to say whos winning week in week out with them with the amount that were sale on this site recentlly there must be a good few around now
The Navigator Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Is that pigeon National 11 a Jos Thone.
