we once had a busscheart cock Dr JJ Horn lines we called "07" he won from Selby 66 miles to Bourges 556 miles i dont think many of the modern strains could manage that nowadays

 

think your right jim,im trying to build a team for the long races like bourges,but then you see the modern breeds doing well and you already have several that are untested at this distance what do you do

Georges Busschaert was born on 12th May 1911. Along with Georges his father two brothers and sister all had an interest in pigeon tacing.

 

At the end of the 1920's the Bushaert family moved to Beveren - Leie where they established a haulage business. At the same time they invested heavily in racing pigeons from various sources. Maurice Delbar, Vandevelde, Sticklebout and Commines just to name a few.

 

At the end of the 1940's the haulage business was sold. Busschaert opened a carpet factory in Kent, a racing partnership was formed with Gil Duncan of Deal, Kent. With the pigeons that Busshaert provided the partnership set about breaking records in the Kent clubs and feds. Between 1956 - 62 they won over 150 1st prizes, often dominating the fed results. Other fanciers rapidly became interested in the Busshaert pigeons, enabling Busschaert to sell to English fanciers. The famous Newton pair were sold at this time, their offspring dominated the West Durham amalgamation and later the up north combine. The north east of England soon became a hot bed for the Busschaerts. Everyone wanted them. Georges Busshaert became a household name within the British racing scene.

 

In 1960 Busshaert returned to Belgium. A new phase in the Busschaert began. Gradually the old Coppi - Tito - Crack bloodlines were replaced with the new Klaren - Sooten bloodlines. Busschaert described them as smaller, better handling, with the ablity to fly further. Throughout the 70's and early 80's these new Klaren - Sooten pigeons were sold into the UK and just as before, Busschaert pigeons dominated the racing results. Champion Rapido was bred from the Klaren - Sooten family. His Offspring were noted for their sprinting ability. Also as a point of interest, Rapidos offspring were very often pied, gay pied and even pure white. An entire dynasty of sprint - middle distance racing pigeons were established upon Rapidos bloodlines.

 

In 1982 Busschaert held a final dispersal sale. This sale shortly proceeded his death. Included in this sale were the bloodines of new introductions into the Klaren - Sooten family, such birds as Daniel, Jeroom, Den Atleet. Obviously Busschaert could not resist the temptation of buying the best to mix with his own strain. Thus making them Busschaerts, the most versatile strain in the world.

 

all the best

Reading with great interest all the threads about the bush'ys brings back good thoughts. just an apprentice at the time could'nt afford them.  Thinking about starting up againand thought about John Crowder is he still on the go? if so does anybody have an address for him.  Was there with a former club mate years ago and can still remember the Pluto Mealys "stunning"

i remember reading an article on ali bros i think it was martin who answered this question do you have any regrets he said with hind sight yes  before we raced bushys we had a very good family of vandies when the bushys started winning we got shot of the vandies it was a big mistake we should have kept them and crossed them   just shows that hind sight is a great thing remember in a lot of parts of the country the vandies where the best
