Doesn't hurt to try things test the young if there an improvement on what you already have keep crossing into more of them that's how you will know

Great tip Danny that's opened my eyes a bit. with the birds I am getting soon, off 3 different fanciers, would you say when it comes to me breeding from them that I pair up the birds from the different breeders rather than keep to their own breed ?

As you’ll have very little idea about their ability Tony to keep this simple I would just let them pair however they want. After breeding next year and a few races you will get some idea on the ones that have bred the best. Then the following year you can select your pairings.

What you have to remember is there never was such a thing as "pure" Busschaerts pigeon.
Georges Busschaerts used to buy the best he could find from everywhere to add to his loft. He said regardless of it's strain, if it was in his loft it was a Busschaerts. :D
Murray's Loft
"Well THAT didn't work". :D
