Søren Smedegaard Nielsen on 11. Febr. 2020
Hello Thoné Family, I just wanted to write to you in regard to a cock (Bel-06-5120287) he is half brother Avril. Are you aware of what he has breed in Denmark? Maybe you already know but he is the Grandfather to an incredibly amount of winners in Denmark.
Mr. Evald Jensen became Danish Champion in our Sport Championship. He has for many years been one of the absolute top of Danish Pigeon racing. Almost all of his pigeons are the line of 'Sumo'.
In 1996 he bought a pigeon (Cock) that was a Grandchild of the father to the legendary (Sumo). He was paired to a daughter of his “425”. That was the beginning of the success that he has had to up until now. This pair breed a lot of winners especially on the long distance and the overnight flights.
