Richard is indeed, a person of integrity, with pigeons that produce results.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAn Extract from Richard Clingan’s article<\/h4>\n
An example of the extent to which he went to obtain these birds is as follows. I will relate to you a short story which was a common enough happening over the years with many fanciers. (It wouldn\u2019t be an Irish catalogue without a yarn. Would it? In 1995 I phoned him up asking if he could supply me with a pair of red cheq Janssens if he could find any to meet his criteria. Now this guy has at least 2000 birds at his disposal at any given time. He said quite bluntly but honestly that he did not have any he believed would meet the standard required. (His standard having nothing to do with any theories handling, eye sign or otherwise, just a top breeding background with a history of success and an excellent gut feeling) About 1 month later he phoned and said that he had come across a great cock bird at the Loft of the late Roy Spratley in London and that between us we could buy it for the princely sum of 2.000 pounds about $5000. I asked about the breeding of this bird before parting with my dollars and was told he was a son of the Goede Vos of 79 and a daughter of 019 (To those who do not know, the Vos of 79 was a son of the World Famous \u201cOude Vos of 73\u201d) Exactly what the Doctor ordered a red cock with nothing but the old original Arendonk bloodlines. To cut a long story short, he was bought and paired up to a hen from the dam of the famous James Bond paired back to her sire\u2019s brother the \u201c05\u201d. In other words a half sister of James Bond inbred on his grand sires side. This hen was at the time considered to be the outstanding producer in Ponderosa UK. My friend Alan Hunniset handled her and could barely control his excitement when describing her. This pair bred two for Tony, two for me which were the Vos 916 and his nest sister the Vos 915 and then we were made an offer for the cock of exactly the same money we paid for him. He was sold for 2005 pounds leaving us with a small profit of 5 quid.<\/h5>\n

I was instantly taken with the calibre and quality of his pigeons and purchased a pair of Janssens from him a cock from Vos 916 and Sarah and a daughter of Golden Pride and Young Wishbone. Immediate success followed from these acquisitions and also from their offspring when crossed with two of Richard\u2019s Janssen Stichelbauts. This led to the subsequent purchase of a pair of his Meulemans, which in turn, yielded the same excellent results on the track. I have not had a pigeon from Richard that has failed to produce the goods, which bears testament to a very genuine man, who knows his birds intimately.<\/h5>\n
