alec guinness Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Not been a good week at the loft as we lost our cock " ALTONS HONEST BOY" to the female sparrowhawk on Tuesday,he was a previous SNFC silver award winner in 2011 who won 4 x SNFC diplomas and had also scored at club and fed level,the biggest blow is that he has bred SNFC prize winners for ourselves and others! As they say onwards and upwards! Nothing quite like the doos for pulling the rug from beneath your feet.

Big Davie Posted May 25, 2014 Report Posted May 25, 2014 Absolutely gutted for you and your dad John, bad enough losing quality to the BOP when training and racing but to lose a cock of this quality at the back door is sickening, especially at this time of the year when you think your more or less safe from the sparrow hawk, keep yer chins up as I'm sure you both will
