INFORMATION ON: G. W & P. Macaloney (Scotland)
and the M & D. Evans bloodlines they purchased from Mark Evans
In 2006 G. W & P. Macaloney purchased a full round of Vandenabeeles from M & D Evans and from the very first young bird race in 2007 their performances just exploded, with these Vandenabeeles raced both pure and crossed with all their existing lines, for example:
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 7th 9th 10th 14th Federation – 7,994 birds
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Federation – 8,593 birds
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 9th 12th Federation – 7,491 birds

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 6th 7th 8th Federation – 6,474 birds
On race days it makes for compelling viewing for the other fanciers that often attend their lofts to watch the race unfold.
From their original order from M & D. Evans, here are some of the top breeders that just continued to breed generation after generation. These top names are;
“Young Bandiet”
“Shady Lady”
“Romany”
“Miss Orleans”
“New Orleans”
“Dark Shadow”
“Shadow 75”
“Shadow Dancer”
“Alone’s Legacy”
“Wittenbuik’s Shadow” etc.
These are responsible for 1st prize winners at every level of competition for G.W & P. Macaloney and for other fanciers from various parts of the UK who obtained these same bloodlines from the partnership.
