Fairs fair mate, gie the folks some encouragement!!! Canny see much wrong startin with Busshaerts, Good honest birds that can fly frae most distances.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 You know what they used to say-Busschaerts are like A***holes everybody has at least one .Not so much the case anymore but there are still a few guys swear by them and get results to boot.Palmer was without doubt one of the great Busschaert men.Not sure how close the Louella birds will be to actual performance pigeons but if you do get them I'd like to hear how they treat you
BLACK W F Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 louella ones must be at least 5 generations since they where flownjohn palmer still races and more than holds his own same old story pays your money takes your chance

Guest Owen Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 Before you go off and believe the advertising blurb just stop and have a think. When did these birds last race? When did the man who bred them last keep them? Did the strain originator keep the strain pure? As has already been said, no-one can predict where winners will come from but we can make some pretty good predictions.Forget the strain names because there is no such thing as a pure bred strain of pigeon. If you want to keep pigeons as a hobby and like certain colours, that is fine and you can collect the ones that please you. However, if you want to be involved in the serious business of winning pigeon races, then you must keep birds from proven winning blood lines. You will find the best of them at Entire Clearance Sales or in the hands of fanciers that are actually winning. Of course you can go along the path that so many have followed and spend small fortunes with the Studs and Dealers but you will be taking a much bigger gamble if you do.
tommy2 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Posted December 2, 2010 Go on and buy the prety ones grizz,they will be no worse then anything up for sale in the winter selling season mate,thing about louella,loiuse always bought the best ,same as the arabs on racehorses,and they got the best now,loiuse was a brilliant racer,but relised it was easier to make money just by breeding instead of racing,same reason those roland janseen rubbish,kirkpatricks,faroes distance,stuff,bred just for colour many for donkeys years,and they still sell,funny,how stupid pigeon men are.

kirky Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 your partly right but can tell ye theres plenty winning well with rolands and old kirkys but many have not come from massa thats a factall the original stock of my kirkpatricks came from massa in the early 1990 when he still had the big winners, but i would not buy from them now.
BLACK W F Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 all the original stock of my kirkpatricks came from massa in the early 1990 when he still had the big winners, but i would not buy from them now. the best kirkys i ever seen where the ones i had from perks bros theirs where very close to the originals and they flew well for me and many others who got them
tommy2 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 the best kirkys i ever seen where the ones i had from perks bros theirs where very close to the originals and they flew well for me and many others who got them i remember buying some off perks bros/or it might have been patrick bros,both flew kirks,and bussaerts early 80`s on a christmas time for the oldman,hid them in our sisters shed for a couple of weeks till christmas morning to suprise him As you say about to many generations gone by,i have also noticed weaker lines being brought in by louella,just look at the aardens,there biggest recent introduction invincable dorrori is n`t even a 500 mile bird,and i know that does not mean it cannot bred proper distance stuff,butits obvious breeding out of those type of birds you have got to be able to read a result,or your in big trouble,finding yourself a few seasons down the line with no workers,you see it time and time again,velocities up into 12-1300 or more,winners,nothing wrong with that if the same bird or close relatives have worked well below1,000 previous,but one off result straight into stockloft dodgy as hell.
