I hate Grizzles, but i verified a doo at Budgie's and he handed me the Gr ck he timed in Reims this year, it was a beauty, on the small side of medium with a Hard body and silky feathers, nice pattern to its markings and an outstanding pearl eye in a bold head with prominent seers and snow white wattle, everything in proportion with him. I have handled some very good doos this year who have won in the SNFC but the Grizzle Ck is the best of the bunch.

for best result.. 'Kingdom Boy'.. absolute topper as were the rest of Jim's team...

 

Also Derrick Hay and Stuart Mullan have two of the finest teams of pigeons ive ever seen..

 

And back in the day, my all time top doo man, Jack Mc Gougan had a team of Widowers that ooozed total class...

 

ps.. when i was a really little boy i handled N Mc Culloch & Son's national winner.. i think it was 'Urr View Star'..?? i canny really remember it and my hands were tiny at the time, but im sure it was a belter..!!

My uncle Jims Mealy hen Hoddom Dynamo. Really powerful. I think they probs come in all shapes and sizes. I like good balance and no too deep in the keel.

[Guest youngboy]

the scottish stry i caught in earlier this year. fine powerful and a proud cheq cock, owner got a person to collect it and later found that the bird flew france twice and timed on the day to.

Funny that.

Best bird I ever handled was sunrise. In my mind any way. I also handled a bird you couldn't give me. These two birds were both responsible for their owner winning the europa cup, for best points from Pau Tarbes Barcelona Perpignan and Marseille.

Strangely enough a grizzle bred from this lofts birds is my best bird. Flown Palamos and Perth. (Is that north or south)
