This photo overview of our reporter Mick Basset living
in Germany and original from England, also pigeon specialist, is an impression of a
giant VDT Show, the German National Championship 2014. A show of unprecedented magnitude, in which 18,843 cages were populated with a wonderful variety of
pigeons. Obviously impossible to photograph everything. Mick hereby presents his
choice, not always the most beautiful birds, but animals that impressed him.
Out of the total collection of several thousands of photographs, the editors of your magazine,
made a choice and we will present them to you group-wise. We have started with the
Croppers, after that the Utility pigeons. Now we present you the Structure- and Owl Pigeons
pigeons. We also give you the huge numbers of entered pigeons per breed and when you
