Louella

Does anyone race these birds from Louella? I was asked by a friend to pick a pair out of their internet site for him and I have to admit that they were actually two very nice birds. Well balanced, good size etc...Having not bought anything from Louella for 10 years I was very surprised and pleased what I picked out for him. Just wondered had anyone else got this family and had they done something? They most likely will need crossed out. Eamon

Dave Page of Pickering bought direct from Pouw Brothers years ago and did really well with them but they weren't from Louella like anything you pay your money you take your chances , but I do feel your better buying from a racing loft

I race pouw 22's pigeons. most of the time i cross them but depending on the lines i keep them as i have them.

I also race Louella pouw pigeons(from purchased stock birds)

It was an interesting observation from Pouw22 last week that all the for sale Louella pouw stock are 99% of the time slatey's.

Any i have are slatey red's or slatey blues.This is for louella's shop window value no doubt.Very well bred they are though!

I have raced the progeny as yearlings last year and was more than happy getting them here in what i see as a fair race time...I will do better!!

The youngters this year from both sources and all naturals have done well also.

I had 26 trainers to 30 miles and dropped one and in 3 races (stopped at 3races) i dropped a further 6 and 4 of this 6 were second day birds.

All in all not bad.I bred 47 to race.I am left with a good few for next time.( there are vandenabeeles amongst these also)

I think louella's stock are the way to go if you're intersted but in all honesty i have never thought about buying youngsters from louella.

Pouw22.(.Phil )is a mine of sensible honest information and i strongly would advise you to have a chat with him if intersted in the Jennssen lines ..

He's interesting to listen to.

Thanks David for your reply, i will pass it on. I do think by looking at the birds they are smart enough to do the job, but they will need crossed I feel as they have been bred as a family at Louella. As you correctly say they are Slatey pigeons and Slatey Reds. Colour makes no difference as long as they have the brains but it seems to be the trait in that family. It will be interesting to see how he does next year. ATB Eamon

I have over the years bought stock from Louells. Visiting Louella Pigeon World was a great experience and everytime I went I must say that I came away extremely happy. Not all the birds I bought produced the goods. But in all fairness I would say that well over 50% did produce prize winners.It's a great place if you want to buy outcrosses for your existing stock. But like mentioned earlier as with anything pigeon. You pay money and take your chance. It also helps to do you your home work.
