rene van de weyers are good sprint pigeons.

i have soojons  
s v r and some busschaerts

Thanks guys, what about these Roland Janseens?, Louella seems to be pushing hard at them and others, seem to be flavor of the month.

Any strain have look at the results and see who is consistently winning then when you made your choice try and find out much as you can about them and who is doing well with pigeons bred by them

I alos relise that there are a lot of breads that are claimed to all rounders, you knoe "they win form 60 to 500 miles", but i would be really interested in looking for out and out sprint pigeonsup to say 200/250 miles.

thats all rene van de weyers are sprinters.

DO YA KNOW WHO IS DOIN WELL WITH THEM?

i re-iterate rose remarks , but would also add ,, try and find out ,how your selected fancier, manages them , for me this is the all important ,especialy in sprint races

ian stafford was doing very well with them.

thanks guys!!

i know there are a few winng big with roland jannens but for the amount that have been sold over the last few years should there not be more wining tne rene van der weyers seem to winning in most cases i say i most cases so dont get on to me with the wind behind them unfountlly there have been no strain in the last few years too  swep the country like the way the staf van reets bussharts did in the last 20years the soonjens are flying well in all regions and i like to see that in a strain of pigeon so in other wards not just winning in one area

Think its probably impossible to work out whats the best if you got loft full of one breed obviously your going be able to say they are the best  and if there are more of a certain breed than others because they are the popular name to have at that time surely because of the amount they are going have more results   Ive had few sprinters and they were different breeds and they all done well couldnt really say any was better than the other things its more down to getting the right birds of the right people irrespective of what breed they are

Best to try a few, cause one that works for some, may not work for others.Environment and other issues just as important as strain of pigeon.

Start with a few and prove which one is best for you and your loft management

Happy Days

The soontjens from John Sheader are wiping the floor, in our local club up to around 300 mile. Then it comes in to my territory.   

THE LAMBRECHTS SEEM TO BE DOIN THE BUISNESS WHERE EVER THEY GO

Still say the janssen birds will beat any new breed if there right and in the right hands.,

i agree the Jansen birds excel and would be my first choice for a sprint bird
