I have been breeding and racing from performance “Shadow” genetics for 12 years. The “Shadow” line is an excellent cross for the “Bliksem” Vandenabeeles and the Wolverine birds. I’ve had exceptional results with these crosses. 

My foundation cock was “Shadow Boy”. Son of Shadow x Carrie mated to dau of Jester x Carrie. Four of the legendary Vandenabeele breeders for Mark Evans. His children and offspring have bred over 50 top 10 finishes for me  in Bay Cities Combine..
