structure and trumpeter show in holland

[Guest bigbok]

i was showing in holland the other weekend thought you may want to see some of the photos i took of the trumpeters their most scored 96-97 pts and all were class or breed winners all these belong to the trumpeter group and most are german origin

[slinky slitheroe]

[Guest Doade]

I like the erbsgelbe and the blau schimmel the best  8)

[blaz]

unusual pigeons all in excellent condition.it must be hard work keeping their fethared feet clean.i wonder how they would do in a blow home

[Guest bigbok]

yes very true each to his own this is the reason their are so many different varieties of fancy pigeons as most were developed through personal taste

[OLDYELLOW]

prefer the english trumpeter  

[Guest bigbok]

yes a very nice breed i have kept english trumpeters for 18 years and have been very sucessful with them

[Guest bigbok]

[Guest bigbok]

[Guest Doade]

Neil who showed the barless ?

[Guest bigbok]

the barless silver vogtlands were penned by roy arbitor

[lawrie]

are they any good at flying?

[Guest bigbok]

no not really and doubt they would ever be wasted on such a thing plenty of good rollers and westys and racers for that job

[Guest Doade]

I bet they could fly if brought up with feeders and then allowed to do their own thing  8)

[Guest bigbok]

ohh certain ones can fly george this is not in doubt who wants to be the first to spend the money to find out lol

Neil I bought a pair of Silesian Croppers at Leipzeg 2007, took youngsters of them and then tried the pair out. They were a bit stiff on the wing to start with but given time and exercise they made it. The pair cost me 200 euros then  8) still have them
