Our fantastic breeding cock Drum stopped filling his eggs 5 years ago however his bloodline continues to score at the highest level…
Just this weekend Rik Hermans scored 2nd,6th,13th,15th,36th,43rd,51st,95th and many more early prizes in the La Souterraine National against 16,615 young birds. We was very pleased to hear from Rik that he scored 13th National with a young cock BE16-6128512 that had previously scored early from Bourges two weeks ago from over 28,000 birds. This young cock is the first youngster he has bred from GB13V28610 that is direct from Teofilo our top breeding Marijke Vink cock paired with Schouk a direct daughter of Drum x Doran so therefore a full sister to Johannesburg and Mystique bred by ourselves and raced by Crehan and O’Conner.
On the fathers side Riks pigeon is from his top racer Sphinx down through the Propere and Last One bloodlines that we ourselves are crossing in our current breeding plans….

This morning I also had a very welcome call from my friend Brian Clennan from Whitby who reports one of his entries won the very tough Midlands national One Loft Race Hot Spot 3 yesterday entered in his Three Amigos Syndicate..This bird was bred from his Nest Sister to ‘War Drum’ that is an exceptional breeder herself..Truly a fantastic pair of nest mates..
On the fathers side it a son of our Blue 22 direct from a son of Topo when coupled with our Syndicate Britannia a bloodline that has bred countless One Loft and Classic races over a 15 year period….
Not only War Drum but his nest sister is also a top class producer…Just a great winning gene pool…
