sapper756 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WulDon Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDYELLOW Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster J. Cogburn Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demolition man Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share 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.

johnnyksspeedshop Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
