Health Program Prior to Breeding SECRETS OF A CHAMPION LOFT AND FANCIER
I believe in the simple principle
of genetics. HEREDITY IS HANDED DOWN FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT. LIKES
BREED LIKES. Intelligence, compass, homing instinct, navigation skills,
determination, courage and heart are inherited from the birds pedigree or
Ancestors' Bloodlines. APPROACH TO BREEDING After years of study Paul pays no
attention to strains. His is only interested in champion pigeons. "I am not a
breeding station but a skilled flyer. My view on breeding depends on the
situation. If l am going to breed for stock or flying," Paul says. He likes to inbreed for stock and
outcross for flying. As a rule, he does not put
just any bird in the breeding loft. It must be a champion or a daughter or a son
of a champion. In the flying loft he will let two birds mate the way they like
and may or may not take a pair of youngsters off them. "I have a rule here at Walsh Loft.
Breeders are for breeding and flyers are for flying. I do not ask my flyers to
become my breeders, even the race winners," he says. Paul likes to cite a story about Ad
Schaerlaeckens, the famed Dutch flyer and author. "When asked 'What
strain do you have?' Schaerlaeckens says the champions in Holland and
Belgium do not understand. What does this man want, a strain or a good bird?
This is because the majority of the super birds in Europe are products of
crossing." Paul goes on to question if 'pure
strains' really exist? In Schaerlaeckens’ opinion they don't. Edited BY Paul 7-25-10
Today with the World Wide Web, it is easy to find a Champion loft from coast
to coast. We are able to view this Champion loft’s racing performance and
look at his birds online. I recommend that this
is the best way to acquire new stock, from a
Champion Loft, “from the web”. Buy the best you can afford. It is
also advisable to look at high dollar one loft races and study the winning
birds, make sure they are consistent birds in this one loft series of races.
You are not interested in winners of a single race at this one loft race,
but only birds clocked on top of the sheet in the whole series of races.
Before the web, we would go and see the best loft in the neighboring
combine. A loft that was doing all the winning and always in the top
diplomas is what I looked for. This loft, you would not have to compete
against with there birds when you bred and raced the birds. With out the
worry of you challenging against his loft with his blood lines made for an
easy exchange of birds. It is now a good chance a champion fancier will
more than likely; sell you brothers or sisters to his winning birds. In some
cases even the winners them self’s! Some times for the right price you will
be able to buy the breeders of these winners. From this super loft you may
get lucky and get much needed and valuable advice on how to care for and
train your birds. How to care & train birds information, can benefit you
for a life time. It is wise to secure Pigeons from lofts like this, a
Champion loft, a real racing loft, not just lofts that market pigeons for
sale, and have an endless supply of birds to sell. Most fanciers start off
with gift pigeons from some of there new club mates. Lets face it, are the
new club mates giving you the best from there loft? Are you willing to buy a
bird for x amount of dollars and give it to some one you just met or
received a call from looking for some free birds? Some times people do give
the best in this kind of situation, they are folks indeed who show this kind
of kindheartedness, but I feel that most of the time fanciers give you just
birds and that bird is a So-So bird. Once the bird breeds or they race the
bird, and if it breeds well or races on top of the sheet then, these gift
givers are as excited as you. In reality it is because they did not know in
the first place, the bird would of done so good, or it would still be at
there loft breeding and racing. Remember there is always an exception to
every thing in life, and you might be in the right place, at the right time,
and the great pigeon master will shower you with champion birds. Good Luck!
Today there are lots of pigeon dealers selling birds. From these merchants
of pigeons you will see most of there for sale birds, are out of, and there
so called good ones. The birds bred out of a bird whose grand sire was a
champ in most cases. What they do not tell you is they send loads of birds
out to the futurity races, friends loft etc. when one scores from the
merchants loft in a race they flood the advertising channels with there
story of this winning bird. You never hear about the many birds they sent
out all over the USA that did not score or even make it to the race. We also
see the fellow who only started racing two or three years ago and won a race
or two. He now believes he earned the right to market and sells his stock,
one or two races do not make a champion. A lot of these web auctions rarely
auction off the winners themselves, but back in the pedigree there was a
great champion years ago. I personally think the pigeon internet auction
clearing houses is not the way to go, to start with birds to enter into this
world of pigeon racing. These auction sites are filled with pigeons from
wantabe champions. Most birds at auction are birds bought by fanciers, some
times for high dollars, and now that they have bred them once or twice,
now they want to resell them to get a portion of there investment back, with
no regard how well the young birds flew. some times these fanciers bred
these auction birds and fly the youngsters, if the young birds do well then
the birds are kept for stock , if they do not breed well then back on the
auction block for you or some one else to try and repeat the process.

fanciers birds you should be interested in. Not birds out of a bird
whose grand sire was a champ. or the fellow who only started
racing two or three years ago and won a race or two. I would rather have birds out of
winners or parents that have bred multi-winners. Or even try
to get the winners themselves. A lot of these web auctions
rarely auction off the winners themselves, but back in the
pedigree there was a great champ years ago. Remember the
pedigree is only as good as the guy who makes it out.. Today there are lots of
pigeon dealers selling birds. A person has to make his own
decisions and get what is pleasing to him, and then have trust
in his breeder. I personally think the pigeon internet auction
clearing houses is not the way to go, to start into this world
of pigeon racing. These auction sites are filled with pigeons
from wanna be's champions. Most birds at auction are birds
bought by fanciers, some times for high dollars, and now that
they have bred them once or twice, now they want to resell them to get a portion
of there investment back. Most of the times these fanciers
bred these auction birds and fly the youngsters, and now the
fancier now finds out these birds , have bred ,birds , that
did not have the blood or guts to cut it. The fancier now
finds out the auction birds, they are not the producers of
winners as expected. These auction birds that were first
bought on the web are back on the web auction block for sale, for
some one else to buy and repeat the process.
