With almost twenty years of strict genetic and physical trait breeding we have produced Superior Breeding Stock with outstanding results. This is Breeding Stock that will produce for you a Racing Pigeon that is an athlete, "not just a pigeon with an impressive pedigree" one that can go week after week.

This is why so many Champions are bred down from our stock. This includes countless Club Champions, Combine Champions, One Loft Race Champions, International One Loft Champions, International Short/Middle/Long Distance Champions also including Young Bird Middle Distance Champions All North America Winning more Points than any other bird young or old. This includes the highest High Point Bird in the History of the combine in Texas. This also includes the team that made History in the sport for John Canto, The First member of the Cape Cod club to ever win Champion Loft of the Southern New England Combine in the History of the Combine. Now this is just some of the high lights from the past seventeen years not to mention all of the Auction, Band, One bird Derby, and Futurity winners.

I think the most impressive results were in 2008.  George Lehr "SKEET1" bred QUAD 08 188 the 1st ACE Bird Southwest Special. You will not read about this anywhere but here, it was not even posted on the Southwest Special web site they only e-mailed it out to the Participants in the race. This Ace Bird was bred from a CBL father and it was his first round to breed. No other bird has flown a three race series missing winning all three races by less than two minutes! The first race 150 winning 8th this was her only falter. She went on to win 1st on the 200 and 1st 330 with speeds of 1123 to 1307ypm Now this was not the biggest money winner, but! it is the Best One Loft race record ever! and flying against some of the biggest names in the sport.

Now if you wanted to put a horse in the Kentucky Derby would you go down to your local live stock auction to buy breeding stock, or go to an established stud farm?
