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

Quoted from OLDYELLOW

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

its early days but i've been doing ok with van herle/ reyskens bred from stock bought from up your way

Lucien Geerts from premier stud these are based on the Remi de May pigeons

maybe to the west of me on the same line

what jannsens

Dave Pages Jansens , or even some good Van Loons

altermans  or flor engles xx sojons

got to be the staf van reets i have tried most strains but nothing has come close to my vanreets ive cultivated these over the last 5 years from the best fanciars in the country and put them together

Van reets are Soontjen based with a cross of Jansens Fabry line

van reets here aswel tel,, ours win at 70 and 350 miles,, very versitile birds,, but sprinting is what they are the best at.. very good birds for the widowhood and celibate,, they love to be wound up... I will add another,, denduiver,, we have these and they are very quick birds,, but they will only go to 200 miles,, after that they don't come..

goodluck

how quick are them denduiver birds have u any info on them sorry to be nosy just it seems fo me they would suit me
is there a site i read a little about them   thanks

denduivers originate from deshact and cyriel denduiver from belgium,, they were father in law and son in law,, they split the birds,, cyriel is the older and deshact is the younger.. they won some serious prizes.. I think they had a bird called pele.. we bought 2 stock birds of cyriel in 2004 and they bred us winners from the off,, they have bred 2 x 1st feds and 2 x 2nd feds,many 1st at club.., we have also got another 2 hens from cyriel and we crossed these into the van reets,, we have sent 4 over the channel and none have returned.. but upto 200 miles they are very quick,, our 2nd bird today was a van reet x denduiver.. all these birds we have are blues.. very chesty birds,, built for power..

goodluck

Leen Boers ,for me but i think most birds will sprint if needed

most will sprint but some faster than others

Tiz no good me having sprinters. What you say is true. Tiz the right birds that do it not the strain.

karel hermans sure take some beating

We have brought a lot of Mark Caudwell SVR and these are very first birds.

Got to be the Van Reets for us, special at sprinting but will definately win all through.

Staffy hasnt raced a Rene van de weyer in a right while mate ..I have them here to and havnt even paired them up in 3 years

Quoted from OLDYELLOW

Van reets are Soontjen based with a cross of Jansens Fabry line

The original van reets had no Soontjen in them ..they came about after Pallet bought most of the birds

a few of my van reet  lines have grote tom late tom etc in

Like I said only introduced after Dean Pallet had bought his lot...the original and the best are the lines that where in England before Dean bought his  

I think the Lemputtens are out and out sprinters and a local fanceir around here does very well with them,also wright bros do very well with them.

try to get some USAIN BOLTS they are top sprinters

oh happy days
