Tippler x Homer

[Castleview]

Anyone ever done this?

 

I did back in 96. I bred a Light Chequer Cock with a Black Tippler Hen and got a Dark Chequer Cross (or mickey) as my uncle called it. It homed well from 40 Miles. I was going to race him but I my pigeons got the pox and had to give them up due to inexperience.

back in 94 i bred a roller x racer i sent him to a 61mile race and got him back a week later . he was bred by accident as i had a spare hen that a stray roller paird up with, i ended up advertising the roller free to a good home in the pigeon sport and he ended up in leeds . he was quite a good roller but a bit of a casanova as well. lc

Perhaps it took him a week to get back because of the roller in him. Everytime he got some altitude the roller genes flipped him over. Probably giddy when he got back hehehe ;D

Tracer sounds better than a rippler

why waste your time they wont race alright for round the garden

I dunno shadow. That cross of mine trained very well with the racers, infact he was treated like a racer. He always came back with them, so he was doing their 30-40mph easily. His father was a strong bird though so there was probably more homer in him than tippler.

 

Don't forget, a tippler might fly around the garden but some can do 20 hours in the sky. Is that not the equivalent of a distance pigeon coming from France? Tipplers are known for their endurance and stamina. Ace fliers, like racers.
