Van Breeman

[jakjak]

Who has the best Van Breeman pigeons in the UK?

Is there a guy in Bristol who does well with these??

Are they sprinters?

[pigeonchested]

I think that Matt Rakes has the best of these, I am sure that they are middle distance pigeons.

van Breeman pigeons are Desmet-Matthijs based:  middle distance.

If its under 450 miles they can win it. These are a few of my own performances with Stevens birds

1,2,4 combine 45 miles 4,000 birds

1,2,3,4 combine 96 miles both 4,000 to 5,000 birds

1,2,3,4 fed 250 miles

8 times 1st sect NFC and CSCFC from 100-460 miles against some of the strongest competiton in the country.

Not forgetting the 1,2,4,6 etc YB CSCFC 4,300 birds winning a car.

Not bad at all. Yes Desmet x Janssen based family and are a true family.

What sets them apart is their ability to pass on the winning genes. 1st sect Nantes Nat bred 1st sect CSCFC Guernsey, which bred 1st sect CSCFC Guernsey, which in turn bred a double fed winner, and the list goes on. I only raced approx 12 widow cocks, 5 hens and most years never bred more than 30 youngsters. Also tried natural and they won whatever.

If you need any more info just let me know
