The best sprint pigeons are the ones that win people keep on goin on about this breed that breed yet 99% of pigeons are just a mixture of others if you like 2 birds and they win pair them together a pure any thing can be brought any where a pigeon with 10-15 1st is rare but i know the one i would go for |

ive been looking at vercammens record in belgium as the top pools winner well that looks like a damn good recomendation for a sprint/middle distance strain 2 me
hes selectively breed a strain that will sprint well in even the hardest conditions
ps weve got mainly van hees there an alrounder famed for its capability of winning at all distances if that clears up the confussion |

There aint no way on this earth that you can ever classify Van Hee as a sprinter. No way. |

The Gerard & Michael Van Hee were imported bu Louella in the early-mid 1970's. Such lines as "Motta" and "Patrick" etc. Dad had 'em in 1975 & they were, and remain a superb 500 mile pigeon.
No way can they possibly be construed as a sprinter. |
