PART 1 Photos: Mick Bassett

This is a photo overview by our reporter Mick Bassett (living in Germany, originally from the UK) of the German VDT Show, held in Leipzig on the 4th to the 6th December 2015. The VDT is the largest National Pigeon Show in Germany and the

largest in the World, this year over 30,000 pigeons had been entered. In this article we show you various pigeon breeds, the pictures taken to give a flavour of the

Show as a visitor walking around the Show. So the birds not selected for any particular grades or wins; in most cases simply good breed typical birds, as you could see at most shows in Germany.

From a total of over 2,500 photo's the Editors of your Magazine have made a choice and will

present them in the following issues. If you wish to see the Catalogue, you can use this link:
