Re: Voorburgs
I have a Voorburg question. The Voorburg standard pays reference to the Norwich and Brunner when it refers to size. As these two breeds get bigger is it expected that the Voorburg follow suit?

Re: Voorburgs
They are telling me that the Voorburg "unwritten" standard is changing, wanting them to be more like the Brunner than the Norwich, i.e., the reference to the Voorburg ideal size being between a Norwich and Brunner is no longer in effect. I guess it depends on the judge but if you bring them to a national show I'd bring the finer, thinner birds and leave the bigger birds home.
In fact, one the main Pouter guys told me the new fad is to have a "shield marked Brunner." That's a little extreme, but you get the idea.

Re: Voorburgs
That's not what I wanted to hear. I personally prefer the larger birds.

Re: Voorburgs
I do too... but I believe that quote about a shield marked Brunner was extreme. They are following the standard of the German birds and I don't see them as shield marked Brunners. Thinner than the old style Voorburgs but not that exteme.

Re: Voorburgs
I received my NPA Standard update yesterday. In it was a revised Vooburg standard. The new standard makes no reference to size at all.

Re: Voorburgs
Hey everyone, check out this TV show with pigeons that was on Thursday here in Tucson. It was staring our own "pegasus loft" AKA Steve Shaw. http://www.tucsonmorningblend.com/videos/103886853.html
It was on one of the main local channels. It had to have been seen by a lot of people, the Tucson area is about 1 million. It should be a big help in promoting the hobby.

Re: Voorburgs
Let me correct myself. I was in a rush when I looked over the revision. Nothing has changed but the drawing. I must say that the drawing appears to be a little beefier than the old drawing.

Re: Voorburgs
That was a sweet black Voorburg you had at the show.
Watch that black hen you got from me. She's not showing much now because she's been breeding but she is a very nice bird. She's like what they want now days. The cоck is the old style.

Re: Voorburgs
The only chance I had at beating that Gaditano of yours was if he'd stayed asleep. When he came to life it was all over.
