A number of Dutch and German Old-Dutch Capuchin breeders are discussing the position of the breed. A real Jubilee With great pleasure the organizing associations have worked for weeks on the preparations for this 10th SZN, the second lustrum of the biennial Fancy Pigeon Show in the south of our country. Partly thanks to the international manifestation of the European Frill Breeds Club and the International Short Beak Tumbler Club, we saw more and more entry forms of foreign participants delivered at the desk of the Show Secretary. Finally pigeons from all over Europe have been entered, from Denmark in the north, to Croatia and Romania in the south, Britain in the west and Poland and Hungary in the east. Th.
