*Granger bred by Mike Ganus from the great Rocket winner of 1st Dutch National Ace WHZB 1996 ..Granger is still fertile at 17 years of age…testament to the vitality of this outstanding bloodline….

I had a call from my friend Brian Clennan of Whitby with the good news that he had bred the winner of 1st Club, 1st East Cleveland Federation,1st Section 7 , 2nd Up North Combine approx 18,500 birds, 2nd NEHU Open approx 26,000 birds from Eastbourne last Saturday for his friends Sayers Brothers of Skiningrove.

The winner was bred from a son of Leach Brothers famous ‘Syndicate Cock’ a truly remarkable breeding son of our Zabel (Son Kannibaal) x Doran (Daughter Golden Lady, Koopman). The dam of the winner is also quite an outstanding hen also having bred 1st Irish South Road Fed Skibbereen Open against 4,202 birds in 2015 for his Irish friends Thomas McLoughin and Sons who fly in the Finglas RPC Dublin, and an exceptional list of winners in top competition.

This hen is actually the nest mate to our Top Breeder War Drum sire of 13 x 1st Federation winners for Price Brothers and Son of Stourport.

As for these two outstanding nest mates bloodline that is also quite exceptional being direct from our super breeder ‘Granger’ GFL00-457 bred by Mike Ganus from ‘Rocket’  the 1st Dutch National Ace winner in 1999 for Rinus Van Gastel, Roosendal and one of the greatest racer and breeders in Pigeon Sport history and dam of the nest mates is a direct daughter of our legendary breeder Drum.
