Breeding Philosophy
Written by Plastik Bag on 9:08 AMWe are a small loft that breeds strictly for performance. We do not buy expensive champions! Why? Because we breed for producing our own champions, and we want to breed our new variant for being the legend in sprint pigeon, like CHO, Leonard, Rencong, etc.
The bloodlines have become very popular and have achieved spectacular results. They are responsible for the success of lofts nationaly. Winning is the result of breeding, training, nutrition, consistency, stamina, heart, superior sprint ability. In sprint pigeon, there is no substitute for any of the above qualities. Only excellent race results, generation after generation in the best of competition, should be the goal of any breeding loft.
Always keep in mind that your end product can only be as good as the foundation it is built on. We consider the pedigree (bloodlines) to be a “genetic blueprint” of any given bird’s potential, beside we also take into granted for selecting our key male with character, mentality, and personal preferences for a certain “eye sign, wing type, body shape, color, etc.”
No pigeon breeder can guarantee that every bird he breeds and sells will be a champion sprinter or breeder. The best breeding pairs in the loft produce a certain percentage of birds that do not have the qualities of a champion.
However, like all successful breeding lofts, we strive to keep the number of such inferior birds to a minimum. We are able offer quality each years by breeding from those birds whose pedigrees indicate that their ancestors’ bloodlines, both immediate and remote, produced champion sprinters or breeders, but we also try to mix our bloodlines pigeon with unknown bloodlines pigeons with purpose for creating new style youngster pigeon.
We believe that all behavior is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, but we also realize still so many talented pigeon out there, which we don't know the bloodlines due to some other reasons. We, as pigeon breeders, should know which behaviors, good and bad, are inherited. Our breeding program not only concentrates on the qualities that are genetically inherited and that are necessary to race and breed competitively, also focus for gaining new champion pigeon from unknown bloodlines.
Also, we recognize that the environments that fanciers create for their birds are vastly different and unique to each individual loft. We have no control over other fanciers’ lofts. Those that are overcrowded, with poor health maintenance programs, inferior diet and nutrition, and lack of sufficient training, place their birds under severe stress and do not allow them to reach their true potential as either racers or breeders. Performance is affected when there is any type of imbalance in the birds’ environment and diet. These conditions are the direct responsibility of the fancier. They are “man made”, not genetic.
Finally we just wish.........Let's create our legend.......even hard of course....:-) that's the art in pigeon breeding...blend it every element like make a powerfull weapon :-)
