S.B.COOPERS

[Guest bristolkev]

has anyone heard of a strain of pigeons that were called S.B.COOPERS they were all blues and a long distance strain.they were about in the mid 80`s till the early 90`s.i had this strain when i first started out in 1987.they were good reliable birds that came in any weather conditions.i just want to ask if anyone has anymore details on this strain and if anyone know`s if there is any still about today.

Bert Cooper (S.B.Cooper) lived only a mile from myself in a village called East Cowick in East Yorkshire and I had the great pleasure in meeting this fantastic pigeon fanciers when I came into the sport at only 8 years old.

Bert’s own bloodlines was a mixture of several top sprint, middle and long distance strains which was made up by himself and was selected on performances alone. He would only keep the best and believe me second best was never good enough.

 

When I meet Bert them many years ago he had to his name over one thousand testimonials from different fanciers winning with is bloodlines which is why he was so well known around the world. In his day he was the best fancier with the best pigeons and performances proved that fact.

 

I am not sure if any of these bloodlines are still around today and very much doubt that anyone as managed to keep these family lines together strong enough for to days competition.

I would be interested to know if anyone is still racing S.B.Cooper bloodlines
