Breeding racing pigeons from the world's top lofts requires acquiring proven foundation genetics, utilizing strict linebreeding or crossbreeding techniques, and maintaining impeccable loft conditions. Establishing an elite stock loft is the absolute prerequisite for long-term racing and breeding success. So who would you be looking at, to breed the best?

Over years of the sport, different family names of pigeons have been coming through. With websites like PIPA, we began to see where the sport was heading. In their auctions around the world, we soon began to see what prices some birds were going for. But it does not have to be this way, Its all about resarch and knowledge, to find what you are looking for. The use of the internet, can help you pick up top quality birds at a very good price for your pocket.

I have a mate, that flys top quality birds. Year after year maybe the last 30 years, he wins Fed Combines. Also some other top awards, so i think i would make a trip to his loft.
