The family of birds we race could be considered our own strain, however we have two main bases, and that is Frank Taskers and Gevaert van Schoorrisse. Consequently to these bloodlines you will find many other strains such as Sticker Donckers, Carl & Cyriel Lambrechts, Vandenbrande Brothers, Soontjen, Gabby Vandenabeele, Andrie Diereck, Paul Pardons, Jules Mannaert, Maurice Cassaert, Willy Thas, Billy Lynch, Tony Calverely, Danny van Dyke, Marcel Wouters, Van Den Dreissche, Frans Laermans, Leo Heremans and Paul Haeltermans. As you can see the family is a series of crossings, and we strive to keep on looking for better, and cross in only the best when we find out if they can improve our team when they was kept pure. We would like to offer to the fancy, a select number of young birds from our race team for the price of £30 a piece, plus carriage. For this price no pedigrees for the birds would be supplied, unless proof of results have been given, as the aim for these young birds is to be raced. Very few pigeons have left these lofts the last few seasons, but the lofts that have had them have been highly successful, including some members of pigeon basics.
