What Others Say

"Pound for pound, percentage on prizes wise, he is the best breeder. Consistency in his children and grandchildren is awesome."

— Paul Macaloney, on Denman (now at Tumley Lofts)

"The continued and uninterrupted success of the family of pigeons that the Macaloneys have created over the last two decades is totally unrivalled and will probably never be matched, let alone beaten. The records they have set, smashed and re-set will stand for millennia."

— Les Green, Northern Premier Auctions
