sapper756 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 We have seen many strains of racing pigeons come and go, but which if any do you think have stood the test of time, and are as effective today as they were when they first came into the sport? I personally think the Janssens will take a bit of beatinghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif

WulDon Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 most modern day strains contain janssen... they will be around for ever, and must be the greatest family of pigeons ever imo!
OLDYELLOW Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 most modern day strains contain janssen... they will be around for ever, and must be the greatest family of pigeons ever imo! Agreed and most distance strains contain Sticklebault probably the best two strains of all time
bluey Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Delbar the base of many Dutch long distance families
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Got to be Busschaerts in Scotland anyway.Not many lofts won't have had a good bird at somepoint that they will have called a Busschaert and they are still at the top of the list at every distance,every week for the likes of John McNeill,John Duthie and John Hodgson. Debatable as to what a "strain" is mind you and as debatable is if Busschaerts fall into this category
J.Brandon Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Delbar and Jansen for me i will put money that most strains have Jansen blood in them somewhere along the line
JohnQuinn Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Cattrysse all day long for me, best pigeons we've ever had and still winning today
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Vandenabeeles look like the ones we'll be talking about in 20 years time
kirky Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 dordins & kirkpatricks, but not that many keep them these days but thay still win.
quackie Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 Cattrysse all day long for me, best pigeons we've ever had and still winning today yup good honest birds uderestimated though
demolition man Posted November 26, 2011 Report Posted November 26, 2011 In my opion there is no such thing as a strain, the UK get taken in me included every year by Van this Van that, at the end of the day what we should be realy looking for is winners from a winning loft no matter what the strain is, How many lofts up and down the Uk have these so called superstar strains yet dont win a carrot, yet another loft wins everything no matter wot strain they have. I think its time the UK woke up and all the winning lofts should be named under there own name like they do in belgium & holland. JMO
Guest fatpat Posted November 28, 2011 Report Posted November 28, 2011 Dordins for me every time ! a real family of outstanding pigeons bred by a master breeder, none better !

johnnyksspeedshop Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 I'd say by far Janssens. Every racer from any party of the world has probably heard the name, and most owned a pigeon with their blood.
glenrandal Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 1st section 16th open dinard, 1st section 1st open navan y b, 18th open dinard, 50th open penzance yearling nat.hard to disagree with that
Guest LBuddle Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 The Hainsworths are still donig well for us. We dont have them "pure" but there is a high percentage in there.
