| Thanks Guys, Yes he is a bright little fellow just over 6 weeks old in the Pic's, i will be going to pick him up on the 12th July, a week later than i wanted to but this big Barcelona pigeon race gets in the way, race basket is on the 3rd July and let go on the 8th July plus the Brother and his wife are coming over on the 7th July and they go home on the Monday morning 11th July i drive to Germany over night the same day, I have to take the two other dogs with me as i will not get home until Tuesday evening. I was hoping to pick him up on the 2nd July but he will not be chipped until sometime that day and i have to be home on that evening to see to the Barcelona Pigeons which are race marked next day so i have to wait another week for him seems like forever waiting to get my hands on the little fellow Steve1 |

| Gorgeous pup, Steve! I have an Achilles! :-) |

| Thanks Bob It is a really tough Race not so much the distance of 700 miles which is enough, But they have the Pyrenees to get around as they cannot get through them they have to get to of 3000 feet in height at least to come round at 40 degs off line of flight if they are not good enough it is all over then Once round they then face the High Central Massive, They get through that and the Valley of the Rhone faces them, which is normally a North wind right on the nose and at times a Mistral goes through, Once through there they come into the more Flat area of France for a short time about 100 miles then our pigeons over our side of Belgium then have to cross the Ardennes which again is high with a great number of Hawks for the Tiring Pigeons, So about 27.000 of the best in Europe will take to the Sky at Barcelona, to the Winner, Well no more financial problems, But to me the Honour of Winning the Greatest Race on Earth would do me fine, and i can say then Yes, you stand among the greats of the Sport, that is worth more to me than all the money they can give me Some will be going back for there 5th Race from Barcelona they are a real gutsy lot of pigeons and they like there owner do not give in without giving there all, so to get them home safe will be great if they do well even better but those who make it for the 5th time will be retired from racing and put in the Breeding loft they will have earned it Steve1 |

| Is this the race? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/forget-the-cycling-its-the-tour-de-pigeon-2304072.html |

| No that is nothing to do with the Barcelona International in this race there are up to 11 countries in Europe taking part, The biggest and most prestigious race in the world Steve1 I tried to load a video of the release 2010 race but no luck however you can imagine 26 to 28.000 pigeons going into the sky at once to sort themselves out |
