Brian Sheppard - Britains 1st International
Winner ( Read
more articles here) When I began my research into the
role of Brian Sheppard in long distance pigeon racing it
quickly became apparent that if any English fancier was going
to break the grip of other Europeans on the International
stage it was this well liked sportsman. For research showed a
dedicated committed pigeoner who has experienced success over
the years since he first entered into the fancy. First on the
north road with the West of England North Road Combine and
then on the south road with clubs such as the National Flying
Club, the Central Southern Classic Flying Club and the British
Barcelona Club. Which saw the emergence of such as Joseph- 3rd
Open Nantes National (amongst other positions), Jingles- 6th,
33rd and 34th Pau National, Reggie- 14th Open Pau National...
to name but a few. A few who along with others won many awards
including the prestigious National Flying Club's Averages.
To be successful at the distance our subject initially
based his team upon some old British breeds such as John Price
of Wales, R. Trueman Dicken and R & M Venner of the West
Country. Other bloodlines were to follow including birds from
Peter Titmuss and George Hunt. They never let him down. In
fact in the hands of an astute manager success followed
success and by all accounts others were happy at his triumphs
because Brian Sheppard is in the minds of many one of the old
school. Apparently a gentle man of the sport, an opinion
confirmed by Tommy Cummings of Ireland.
The Sheppard
lofts contain the best of quality stock and therefore are not
a part of the modern trend of quantity before quality. Indeed
they have to be of the best to face the English Channel during
the months of May, June and July each year. A temperamental
course that has been the watery graveyard of many courageous
pigeons since the origins of the sport. A course
faced and
conquered by the Legend, Brian's International winner from Dax
in 2003 at 507 miles. This was a magnificent achievement and
perhaps it is our subject's greatest victory in a long and
illustrious career in the sport.To be 1st National Flying Club
was something in itself but to beat the rest of Europe was
monumental.
The Legend is a product of Brian
Sheppard's policy of looking for and purchasing stock that can
enhance his own family. For the Dax winner is partly of
Brian's own family and the Sumo bloodlines of Jos Thone of
Belgium.
History has been made by the Legend and Brian
Sheppard in the pigeon sport of Europe as well as their own
country. To his friends no better person could have been the
English trail blazer. May he have many more years of success
with future
Legends. |
