Our Walkingshaw colony is based around “Portavogie Lass”, winner of The Millar Gold Cup from Dinard, France, in 1996 – being the only bird on the day from a convoy in excess of 2000 pigeons. She went on to be a goldmine hen, producing winners and, more importantly, breeders of winners which still dominate and excel in distance racing across the sea from the UK and France today.

We have 7 grandchildren of Portavogie Lass as the backbone of this family, in addition to birds bred through “Portavogie Queen”, Dtr. Of Portavogie Lass, 4 times France, “Newry Queen”, Dtr. of Portavogie Lass, 1st Open Winner NIPA St, Malo 2008, an inbred Ash hen out of “The Duddy Hen” – breeder of 5 x 1st Sec. B NIPA, A Dtr. Of 1st Sec. Ypres (to Glasgow) from a colony of Walkingshaws owned by Harry Horn. We also have many other Walkingshaw additions, rounding off this lovely family of pigeons of both pedigree and performance.
