chichichi Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 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 ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpau Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 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 Tiz no good me having sprinters. What you say is true. Tiz the right birds that do it not the strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Gill Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTOON Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 The birds that we race for the sprint, which have won everything before them, including sprint land average 12 out of 13 years, are a mixture of staf van reet (Mardon via Steve Parry barnsley), direct de klaks and Jansens. I also brought in a Walter zootjan pair, which i have to say are the fastest birds i have ever had, one hen 06 bird has now topped the fed three times and has over 15 firsts. These breeds crossed have won upto 335 miles for me this year, with the De Klak doing the busimess at 400/ 500 miles. Must agree with T Sykes though, got to have the right system in place to compete at the sprint, and feeding is everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
