January 2019 – Simon Hill, Leeds

I am so pleased with the pair of Jan Aarden yearlings I purchased. They are superb quality and in excellent condition. They are truly outstanding.

January 2019 -Arthur Denner, Cardiff

I bought a Bricoux cock and a Jan Aarden hen from Paul Stowell and it was the best deal in pigeons I have ever done. The birds were superb in quality and condition. The pedigrees and montages sent with the transfer were so detailed and excellent. I shall be going back for more as soon as I can. I hope to buy some Bricoux young birds later in the season, I am so pleased with these birds.

PETER QUAINTON of Chippenham, Wiltshire 2016

I have bought birds from Paul over many years now and have had excellent results with them. I have had three separate yearlings win our longest race Marmande or Bordeaux, just short of 500 miles on three occasions. I would not hesitate in recommending these birds.

BRIAN CHANCE of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk 2015

I have bought pigeons from Paul in 2013 and again in 2014 and these birds have bred me 4 x 1sts prizewinners already and numerous other positions. I am so very pleased with these birds.

MACHIEL BUIJK

Being a personal friend of Machiels and acting as is agent for several years I have had the pick of all his pigeons and in Machiels own words the pigeons “are the same as mine and the quality is as good as mine”.

Hi Paul

The six birds I have just bought from you to go with the one’s I purchased at the beginning of the month arrived at 10 o’clock this morning and as usual they feel fantastic.
I’m sure will will have success in the future with their offspring.
I’ll keep you posted. Many thanks once again.

Paul, Received birds today. To say I am pleased with them is an understatement, lovely silky feathered and a pleasure in the hand. I am sure they must produce in the stock loft both when kept pure and. when crossed with my own distance family.

Thanks again.
Regards, Jim

Hi Paul, as requested just a note to let you know the birds have arrived a little later than expected due to the terrible weather we have had today.However they are here now and I’ve just returned from putting them in the loft at my Brothers so please accept my apologies for this late e-mail.
To say I’m impressed with them would be an understatement, their feathering is so soft and silky and they were so placid when I took them out of the box to look at them.
In fact I’m so impressed that I would like to order a kit of six 2011 youngsters of the Machiel Buijk bloodlines if that is acceptable.
Once I receive an acknowledgement from you I will forward the required deposit.
Once again Paul many thanks for such wonderful birds.
Regards Kevin
