tjloft Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 I see from the photos of YBs on the site that people are pairing grizzle to grizzle - with these I bought in a mixture to avoid this - what are others thoughts? Bought a cracking blue C RJ from premier at Blackpool - have they now got rid of all theirs?

gangster Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 also a good point jakjak posted theres more 2 this family than the white grizzles and that in my opinions been to detriment of the family in the uk...id advise looking on his website..
gangster Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 these pigeons are not living up to there big rep and the doo pedelers have made there monys ;D ;D ;D well tam..go look at rolands results they speak volumes as for doo peddlers well at least 1 has left the building.. ;D ;D....as for the big rep well thats all massarellas hype

gangster Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 rolands results are not in this country and that speaks volumes to me and to think the amout that has been bread and sold it dos not make good pracktes to keep them ;) ;) each 2 there own tam
pigeonpete Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 They keep my 11 year old happy and content, And if it keeps him in pigeons, then that will be good enough for me. And i like them to , And plenty winning with them :-) If we all kept, and flew the same, it would be boring, As Mick says each to there own :-)
tjloft Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Vast majority of strains flown in this country originated in Belgium/Holland and were purchased because of results in their own countries, once they are successful in this country prices go one way until they go out of fashion!!!!

gulkie Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 rolands results are not in this country and that speaks volumes to me and to think the amout that has been bread and sold it dos not make good pracktes to keep them ;) ;) well said tam u know my opinion on them they are not good enough to win consistantly in scottish racing, and iv bought the best from more than 1 soarce. :B :B :B
BLACK W F Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 well said tam u know my opinion on them they are not good enough to win consistantly in scottish racing, and iv bought the best from more than 1 soarce. :B :B :B but there again where they the right ones ;) ;)
gulkie Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 well as they say u pays ur money,also once bitten twice shy,iv done all right with other birds iv selected in the past. i dont say there all bad as somone said earleir there is good and bad in all :)
Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 the thing with roland is there gd club pigeons not fed , he wins big in his club , but where do all the blue lines in the rolands come from ? oh jos van der vaken !! would it not be better to get these ?
gangster Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 sorry not quite right, im led to believe he uses birds from other top lofts and i might add if they make his own family stronger then well done him id say?...and id check his birdage at club/fed level..i think you might find he wins in strong competition..and you will find the results have been top draw for 20 years
Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 sorry not quite right, im led to believe he uses birds from other top lofts and i might add if they make his own family stronger then well done him id say?...and id check his birdage at club/fed level..i think you might find he wins in strong competition..and you will find the results have been top draw for 20 years well all the pigeons i had direct off roland in late 1998 was full of van der vekens and i have most of rolands resultes to hand and there not much better than mine lol also most of roands winners now are bred from louella pigeon world as part of the deal of louella having his best
gangster Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 i do believe he has off wonderboy and white cheeks. but id not say most of his winners come from massarella birds...
tjloft Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 So what you are saying is that if anyone wishes to fly as good as yourself and Roland get them from LPW as they have the breeders.
Guest ROCKYandRAMBO Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 i do believe he has off wonderboy and white cheeks. but id not say most of his winners come from massarella birds... must of been some other gb birds when i saw him last then
gangster Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 and i might be wrong but i believe those birds are sitting in a uk loft now..
clayton moore Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 Testimony to this particular familys drop in popularity is week after week the pigeon periodicals have loads of them for sale. The fancy doesnt lie, If thine eye affends you pluck it out.They are an atractive pigeon but dont seem to be able to cut the british mustard. The fastest pigeons in the UK at the mon=ment are the Lambrechts but when you consider the different terrains in Wales Scotland and Ireland pus the long mountainous regions of the UK like the Pennine chain.The best universal pigeons to suite all areas are probably Van Loons.
