Bobby Kemp & Raymond McBride – Kemp & McBride – Kingswood – Winners 1st Club , 1st Sect D & 1st Open NIPA Truro against 4,389 birds with a speed of 920 y.p.m. !
*The term ‘Super Pair’ or ‘Super Couple’ is often over used, however no one can argue with the results of the fantastic breeding couple that Geoffrey Douglas of Lurgan, Northern Ireland, refers to simply as his ‘Good Pair’.
This couple are responsible for over 100 first prize winners into the fourth generation not only for Geoffrey but the majority of fanciers that have been fortunate enough to obtain some of this bloodline.
Geoffreys friend M McPhillips won 1st Open NIPA against over 28,000 birds with a grandchild of the ‘Good Pair’. Kemp and McBride also won 1st NIPA Fermoy against 28,181 birds with another grandchild of Geoffreys ‘Good Pair’…
Here is a message received from Geoffrey last week…
*

This is ‘Favorite Son’ bred by Joop Koch and father of the cock of the Geoffery Douglas ‘Good Pair’ responsible for over 100 firsts in four generations. He is also responsible for Geoffery’s 1st NIPA Young Bird National from Rosscarbery with ‘Foxy Jack’ against 4399 birds in 2009. .
‘Favorite Son’ is also father to the mother of D.& J Armstrong’s ‘Too Hot To Handle’ 1st NIPA Rosscarbery Young Bird National against 4136 birds in 2008.
He is also father to the hen of Derek Woodwards ‘Good Pair’ responsible for more than 75 first prize winners in three generations…
‘Favorite Son’ is also father to our great racing cock ‘The Wizard’ winner of 1st National NPO Etampes against 17,707 birds in 2005…
An absolutely Top Class breeder !
