Delboy Posted December 6, 2015 Report Posted December 6, 2015 Should be a great sale, im short of a couple of hens and I think this sale could remedy that
Roland Posted December 6, 2015 Report Posted December 6, 2015 Can't get a mortgage lol ... But some good birds will be bought that's for sure. Mind you can't buy a little of Jock Ellis, mores the pity.

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 Can't get a mortgage lol ... But some good birds will be bought that's for sure. Mind you can't buy a little of Jock Ellis, mores the pity. Fair point Roland, John Ellis had an exceptional natural talent with pigeons. Rather unorthodox methods that could have visitors and other top fliers scratching their heeds lol. Top bloodlines just the same, that have have featured in at least three SNFC Gold Cup winners since the year 2000,as well as an SNRPC Gold medal winner. Birds from Jock have gone on to breed numerous prizewinners for numerous fanciers. I couldn't say this is 100% correct,but I doubt there is any Scottish fancier,alive or dead, timed on as many occasions from France as John Ellis. I can think of 8 birds he has raced off the top of my head that won over 40prizes from France between them. A real master fancier,Scotland is lucky to have had.

You maybe right Lewis, maybe Bosworth would be close though? Ellis was a master of the distance game without a doubt. I remember going to the late Ian McGhies loft in Newmains and spotted a wee ugly red ch hen sitting amongst all these beautiful pigeons that Ian had at the time.We were exchanging ybs and he asked me what I wanted mine off.I told him I thought the red ch was the ugliest f...er id ever seen and I know it wasn't in the loft for no reason so id like one from it.He said it was his no1 stock hen, bred by Jock Ellis and she had bred all his best 400-600 mile winners.Food for thought when you are looking through his birds up for sale, looks aren't everything lol.

Aye Bosworth will be up there Derek. He had won 173 SNFC cross channel diplomas up to 2012,will be in excess of 200 now I'd think + all the other races they had at one time-Usher Vaux etc. One or two others with these sort of numbers aswell. Think Jock Ellis won his first prize over the waterin 1962 and there's only one year since where he hasn't timed fi France. It will be a fair few anyway lol. There will be a few wee ugly ones up for grabs at the Ellis sale,so bring your cheque book lol
