bluecock Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Been talking with my dad regarding Jim's sale,please bear in mind I dont know the man himself, and stand to be corrected as usual?! But here goes, Jim's birds go back to Aitken & Walker from Coalburn, down from their red hen, scored Rennes as a yearling and went fully pooled as a 2yr old and took its full share.She was from a hen from the late Hal Renwick, Stonehouse.This pair left quite a few handy doo's for A & W such as the TV hen which won the nom and TV from the Mid-week Continental Club which ran for a few years in the 70's.The base and of both these lofts were the late Wee Jocky Harrison's doos, from Coalburn.This man was quoted as being the best 600 mile Doo-man in Scotland, Bobby Carruthers words not mine.Which is maybe the reason why Jim's birds have excelled when the going got tough and ''nae bugger else hud wan''If I'm wrong as I am about most things please put me right???!!! don't think your far of the mark there pal
