Busschaerts

[Guest Paulo]

thanks Jimmy still a bit stuck for information through. It s great hearing everybodies stories and stuff I think we can learn a lot from people like Mr Busschaert who had none of the fancy cures and potions we have these days.

 

Anybody know any more about his racing records he set in Belgium?

[Guest bristolkev]

has anyone tried the busschaerts from a miss joan duncan of newcastle,she`s always advertising in the BHW.

[Guest Paulo]

My mates just bought some nice Busschaerts from a Mr and Mrs Parkin who were advertising in the homing world a few weeks ago. He's also order 6 dark un's for 150 the ones he's received look like cracking birds

[Guest]

Paulo has recently pointed this thread out to me............I am surprised Pearson and Dransfield of Barnsley are not mentioned, as one of the great Busschaert lofts. Frank Pearson did tell me the story when I was in Barnsley living for a few years of how they gort 5 originals and how they have bred federation winners in 5 different decades from those base 5. I don't want to get the story wrong, there may be others won here that can recall it better but I know Frank was not very impressed with them when they arrived as 4/5 week old squeekers. However that changed when they showed their potency.

Chris Gordon has used them with excellent effect to cross in to his old English strains and is creating an awsome family of pigeons at the moment, if he can continue to breed future genrations then he will go down as a great fancier.

Many lofts have been founded on one or two pairs of super breeders but when they go, so does the loft. The great men like Pearson & Dransfield, continue to breed super pigeons in the next generation and the next.

hi mate some of the best birds around the north east are kavanagh busschaerts. he just lived at witton park not far from you when he had his sale brian long bought most of the  best ones

[schouwman71]

Ken hunt who raced the champion "boss" what louella bought was bred down from pierson & dransfield busschearts has he was related to them,this cock was a real cracker and had the honour a few time putting him in the basket on race days,this pigeon did really do some damage on saturdays racing in the cas&district fed.what a pigeon.

[Guest]

Schowman I always remeber in 2001, I was taken down to a stock loft at the bottom of their garden, and handled several brothers of the Boss and many other superb birds. They were in fantastic condition, I thought they were stock birds. There was not one pigeon under the age of ELEVEN, there were birds 20 yo and they handled like 5 yo!!!

I found out about a month later they had been sold en bloc to a local fancier (not sure if it was Chris Gordon??) for a pittance in terms of their real worth, had I realised they were available I would have tried to purchase at least a pair (bought the lot if I had the finance!)

[jimmy white]

some of the best ive seen blended from the old families of bushchearts ,,wildies and crosses  the woof bros one in staindrop [les] other two in new ollerton [charlie and russel ]talking to charlie the other day , after many many years at the top,, as he says 70 years gone now  ;D ;D ;D but still topping the fed at an unbeleivable rate ,,,yet ;D ;D ;D [some fanciers ;D]

[Guest]

[gangster]

No one even mentioned the great Ron Williamson Buschaerts from Ireland.

Don't forget the famous "Breathtaker and the infamous "Heartbreaker". Fabulous pigeons from a man who is always at the top of the NIPA nationals and thats hard racing into Ireland from the continent competing against 5 - 7000 birds.

His name should be leading the "All Star" list.

D.D.

Sprinters aint they? Funny that as we had 281st Tarbes 634 miles with one of 'em.

maybe its just how you prepare them for racing,and good pigeons to do the job.

One of the best in the WORLD, never mind uk etc. Had a great teacher, and learnt, added and became...

"Well whilst I 100% agree with Nancy's post above, the reason one buys is A. the 'Blood' and B. to use as 'Foundation only' when out crosses are quickly needed. I mean I would personally buy them double grandchildren as y/b's to fly, but get another Family / starin to mix with etc.

Yes I rated Massarell as top three stockman of all time... My personal favourite though is Buessart and a toss up for second between Massarella and Janssen.

Regards Busschearts

George had many outstanding performances, and so did others that had his birds! Take his friend Ron Hallam. Flew 1973 the longest race in the Bergerac National. This has gone on record as the greatest - possibly forever more. Sent four pure Busschearts. 1,2,3, Open etc. and only four timed in on the day. A hard and long race. This was after the second arrival had then only one month previously won Nantes. Combine the lot.

Then there was 'Louise' What a great hen 8 races 8 WINS! Including Topping the Combine from the 3 longest races. 2nd open giving the winner 40 miles top ten placed others.

In Belgium Busscheart hold the record for points when awarded the 'Asduff' award.

Then there is the record of say DE 88.Winner of top prizes at national and international races.

One year alone this cock bird did the following.2nd Interprovincial 330 miles. 1st National Limages 370 miles, 5549 birds, 4th National Perigeux 400 miles.... after a stupendous 1967 race campaign taking 3 national places in top 90 . 16th, 90th, 63rd.

Unfortunately the 85 returned home from his last races in 1969 badly shot and died three days later.

No Busscheart has a tremendous success rate in Belgium too.. He won just about anything and every thing. But the legacy of his birds here has been phenomenal. They are still sought after bird time, and ALL who have the - supposedly pure - strain are pestered full time for them. Even Louella has decided that Ron Williamson’s bird to be cross with Busschearts As you will all know the last few years Ron has been regarded as the continents top flyer. Also with his birds being classed as the No ones... Millennium Star etc... Done the same last year with another.. and backed that up with 4th..... etc. etc. Well Louella, as you all must know, not only has a lot of the world’s greatest strains. but their pigeons,- and the top three world recorded prices paid for them - and as I have often posted what I think of his ability as a stockman, it shows just how great, the results, records Busscheart is esteemed here. Undoubted regarded as the tops.

There are countless records set, some still to be broken, such was Georges' performances back home in Belgium. - Where it was his brother - in - law that flew his pigeon also there, though not a partnership.

Again another great.''

Friends of mine (Mr & Mrs Collin Hill) have an old family of Buschaerts. I have handled them may times, they are always in excellent feather and are like peas in a pod. There results at all distances speak for themselves.
