Belgian Grizzles

[Pompey Mick]

Is it just me, or has there been a great increase in the number of Grizzles in most of the Belgian Strains currently on the market.  I seemed to think that up to a few years ago grizzles in Belgium were a rarity. I have 'The History of the Belgian Racing Pigeon' Vols 1-5 and I don't recall a Grizzle in them. What I would like to know is where have all these grizzles come from ?

There are getting to be a lot in the states also, their popularity increased with the introduction of the Bandit birds from HappyCo lofts

;D Hi Mick , i know a lot of fanciers have tried Kirkpatrick grizzles at one time or another , especially for dist/channel races . I wonder how many small belgian lofts have perhaps picked up the odd gb/shu/whu rung bird and thought if they sent it this far it must be a good un and crossed it into their own ? .....food for thought eh...............?                andy
