Guest newcomer Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 I hope I have spelt it correctly, can any one give me any information about this family please.
kirky Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 i have got his book signed by the man himself.
PIGEON_MAN Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Tony Read of Loughborough had them for years.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Try and get yourself a copy of "Advanced Techniques" by Jan Aerts This is a review on the book from another site "Jan Aerts makes me feel, when I read his books, that I am actually at the loft of Jef Van Riel looking towards the Cathedral Dome in Antwerp knowing that a good pigeon on that day must come from that direction !" Its one of the best pigeon racing books I've ever read.Think it was first published in English around the mid 70s and a lot of it still rings true today.Good Read
quackie Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Tony Read of Loughborough had them for years. still has them bhw stud book this year 35 quid each
bazza Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 Very underated and unfashionable imo,but they still perform ,very honest gutsy birds,and Tony s a very honest chap,worth a chat with him
showman Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 Tony Read is, I believe, a very astute breeder. Over the years he has maintained this family of pigeons to the highest level. I would love to see a team of them flying round to see if that 'hidden' X-factor is still in them.
