AU 24 A 24542 Blue Bar. Not sure of the sex. This bird is bred from some of the top lineage in Europe specifically to produce one loft race birds. The father is a son of two Ace Pigeons of Belgium long and long middle distances. He is from the famous loft of Gino Clicque, one of the most successful lofts in all of Belgium over the past dozen or so years. Gino's birds show up better at distances above 300 miles for me. One of his cocks bred the 1st Place Champion Old Bird on the entire Long Island Combine this past old bird season. The father of this bird, while still in Belgium, bred two different birds that had top placings in National races in Belgium, with the best one being 16th vs 4606 birds from Argenton, which is over 300 miles. In my loft he is the sire of 23267, flown by Ramon Suarez, that clocked 12x, 7x in pts, 5x 10%, 1x1%, 2/163 at 211 mi. and 3x 1st to loft. I've only had him a couple of years, and had to sell a few to pay his rather pricey purchase price. I've got a number of his children saved for my own stock loft. Mother of 24542 is a new hen in my breeding operation, but she comes with impressive credentials. She was bred by Emiel Denys, famous fancier in Belgium, whose blood has been doing exceptionally well in One Loft Races around the world. She is a direct daughter of Emiel's famous "Sofhia" winner of 1st International Narbonne versus 6423 birds. Father of my hen is "Trapke" 1st National Ace KBDB, All Around 2017. A number of my friends, especially my Chinese friends have told me that they are doing well with the Denys pigeons in one loft racing. They really start to shine over 300 miles as young birds. So, looking at this 542's pedigree, one can see that 3 of the 4 grandparents are National Ace pigeons of Belgium at distances more suited to our One Loft races, and the fourth is a 1st International winner at exactly the distance we look for in the major one loft races. I think this bird could be a real value to anyone wanting to play in important one loft race events. "Ed Minvielle."
