Bricoux

[speedy]

does anyone race the bricoux pigeons still?

[BIGPETE]

I was reading about this strain just the other day in an old Squills yearbook. I believe a Dr created the strain and there were a lot of red chequers in the family. Looked and read to be fantastic pigeons but it was an old book 15-20+ years old. Would also be interested to know if they still exist.

I think he may actually be referring to the person after whom the pigeons are named--Dr Bricoux

[dal2]

Anybody that has the late john carmichael pigeons will undoutedly have some bricoux in them. I remember as a boy asking why the dark cheqs had been brought into kirkpatrick family mainly of reds with a few mealies and he said to keep the distance in the blood butvalso to keep the depth in the red colour that he felt was being diluted as his family became closer bred

Yes of course you are correct Dr Anderson had a very famous family of pigeons based on the Bricoux. Other names associated with the family in Scotland were Davie Forsyth, the Mc Alpines, Bob Jamieson of Lochwhinnoch and Willie O'Neill of Larkhall (I think). I had some from Bob in 1966. Absolutely beautiful birds which could also race. The first hen I had bred 4 winners in her first season breeding with me and I had only just started in pigeons.

The pigeons owned by Davie Forsyth were eventually so inbred that they were crying out for a cross.
