What difference does it make to anyone on here whether it's a stud or not.!
It could be worse - the partners could have invested in a One Loft Race Lol.
In any case, Danny is only making a living out of it and he is good enough to come on here and share his wealth of experience along with an amazing donation to the site
All power to your elbow Danny and good luck to the partners.

Still can't understand what peoples problem is with someone running a stud or selling offspring of their birds or buying birds. Probaly the main reason why i stopped posting anything related to what new birds we are getting for our loft etc because it just seems to recieve more negative feedback rather then positiv or non.

@spieker-loft yes people definitely have strong views around the business side of the sport and I get both sides of it really! I've worked for a purely money oriented stud, and I didn't like that the focus was about the numbers! and the money! my current employers are nothing like that it's about getting success for them and winning! the sales are just allowing them to do it without it costing them a fortune.

From what I have seen on your site link Danny there are a lot of top quality birds on there for sale, and if a couple of people bid on the same birds and the price goes up that's not your fault someone will pay what they want for a bird they like.
I do like a couple on there for myself to be truthful, can I ask about delivery is that through you, or courier or is it pick up ect......
thanks Danny

Danny i know where you are coming from, at the end of the day. We all have our own budgets, for different things in life. Homes, cars, holidays, and different sports. Racing pigeons are not cheap anymore, if you want to be up with the best. So members like Leon and yourself, set standards that other people dont wish to venture in. All i can say is well done, for having those standards.

What standards you talking about? Please don't think these alleged big boys have won anything that plenty other folk on the site havent...and more
As I keep saying a lot of ya top fliers year on year keep themselves to themselves and win. They don't buy fancy pedigrees they don't have flash websites but they don't need to because they can fly a hell of a pigeon. I'll give ya one right off the top of my head R&B Smith of Warrington been winning at the very top for a lifetime and still are today. Just good old fashioned pigeon fanciers with RACING pigeons. And again that's not a pop at anyone on the site I know how touchy you boys get. I bang on but I don't want new starters looking on this site and thinking you need studs big set ups and fancy pedigrees to win pigeon races because you don't, never have had to, and never will have to.
