wondering how many people on the forum have the orginal birds frm this breed asin pure. and wondering if many people have the dark chequers and what they do for u thanx coxy

[martin dunks]

wildys cant be pure ; look at his 1978 sales list the birds are a mix of every strain under the sun[ matthys ,cattrysse ,van der espt, kellens ,haelterman, ] the list goes on

[Wiley]

no strain is pure

[Beanz]

teh question fanciers should be asking is whats in a strain, after all its just a name they are not all good anes whatever the strain, however in this country we seem to have a fascination for names, oh and I include myself in that, it should be winner to winner whatever the strain but we don't, I do put winner to winner but usually of the same strain.

[Guest Paulo]

I don't rate them personally my dad had a few before he got the busschaerts including a direct daughter of kleine bliksem that he paid a lot of money for and they did nowt.

 

However there are good and bad in every strain so no doubt other fanciers will do extremely well with them.

 

Frans was at Ostende and had a stand at the show looks like he has moved on to long distance now or fond as they call it in Belgium

[Guest CS]

no strain is pure

what is a spaniard(if i spelled it right) pigeon becouse on of my pigeons, his mothers side is all speniard imports.?

[Marky5]

Yeah you are correct Paulo 100 per cent Frans Van Wildermeersch has moved onto extreme long distance up to barcelona , Narbonne , Pau etc with Roger Florizone , gyselbrecht and Devos pigeons.

He still has some of the old lines but not many now , more crosses than ever also a touch of Vandenabeele in them.

We have some, ours are good in Northerly winds - they don't like blow homes - and that is what we have been getting the last 2 years - blow homes not many Northerly winds at all
