| The
"Clun" Stud was founded in 1995 when four birds were purchased from local
fancier Alan Webbern,Old Colwyn. Alan had built up a small consistant team of
Fife's,winning Best Novice at most of the premier shows in North Wales. These birds were
bred around stock from local fanciers Mawldwyn Williams,Derek & Maureen James and Jack
Price. Further introductions have been added over the years from Harry Stanway,Mark &
George Anyon, Walter Valentine and Glyn Huws. Latest introductions used in 2003 have been birds bred by Bruno Verlinden from Belgium, Kevin Giles from Cumbria and Gerald Spencer from Doncaster.
The 2012 breeding season will be based around two birdrooms in
North Wales.
1...GERALD SPENCER - with birds direct from the "Maestro"
himself and from Jim & Marlene Gibson.
2...McEWAN & CAMPBELL - with birds direct from Andy & Jimmy.
3...ALBERT CLAMP - with birds from Jones & Roberts and Rob Roy
Fifes.
The 2009 breeding season in Wales will see a total of twenty five Hens and fifteen cocks being used of these 80% will be GERALD SPENCER bloodlines with 17 direct birds from the maestro himself and other 100% birds bred from direct Gerald Spencer bloodlines from Gordon & Chris Vaughan, Matt Eld and Jim & Marlene Gibson.
10% of the breeding stock will be ALBERT CLAMP with birds from Rob
Roy Fifes and John Sloane.
The remaining 10% will be eight birds direct from one of Wales top Fife
fanciers JOHN HUGHES.
The 2008 breeding season in Wales will be based on three main lines:- 1. Gerald Spencer with birds direct from him and from Jim and Marlene Gibson, Matt Eld and Gordon and Chris Vaughan. 2. Albert Clamp with birds from RobRoy Fifes and John Sloane. 3. My own Allies to White family based on birds from Gillott & Clark, John Wakeman and John Hughes. I also have a small team based on birds direct from Harry Stanway. The aim of the "Clun Stud" is to always try and breed to the standard as laid down by the FIFE FANCY CANARY CLUB. |
