It is important to have an impressive group of breeders with good pedigrees and traceable records. These breeders however are useless no matter the paper they offer or the price paid if they cannot consistently reproduce great racers generation after generation. It is the key to long term success.

In this the CURRENT CHAMPS page is further proof of how important the generational reproduction ability of a family truly is.

RECENT RECORD RACERS AND BREEDERS     

AU12TOR12107 BB H - "LA REINA DEL CIELO"

From a Brother of Schellens "STAR" mated to daughter of MARIPOSA

6/8/14 300 mi. OB Whc Club win -  4th CJC  vs  1878 B

5/31/14 400 mi. OB Whc Club win - 27th CJC vs 2017 B

9/29/12 200 mi. YB 2nd Whc Club - 43rd CJC vs 2129 B

LA REINA DE EL CIELLO - It means queen of the sky because I feel she is just that.  When ready she comes to win as is evidenced by her 7 wins to date. Another Gr.daughter of Shellens JEWEL and the Super Vooruit. When mated to a daughter of Champion Mariposa (She is a daughter of the Super 30 Pair). This type of crossing is what breeding champions is all about. When not just one pair of a particular cross works but several pairs of the same breeding can produce winners, multiplke winners and the elusive champion we all seek. Multiple winners from The GOOEDE JAARLING / SUPER VOORUIT line of Schellens have made an impact.

AU13TOR13078 BCHWFT H - "WAIT A MINUTE" 

From a Son of Super 30 mated to daughter of Schellens Super Vooruit

2014 - 50th CJC OB Chamion bird overall

6/8/14 300 mi. OB Paterson Club win -  24 CJC vs 1878B

5/31/14 400 mi. OB 2nd Paterson Club - 31st CJC vs 2017B

5/4/14 200 mi. OB 8th Paterson Club - 49th CJC vs 2666B

4/25/14 200 mi. OB 2nd Paterson Club - 222nd CJC vs 2735 B

4/19/14 150 mi. OB 2nd Paterson Club - 168th CJC vs 2558 B

WAIT A MINUTE - So named because she insists on taking a minute before she actually decides to trap. Even when she won she wasted over a minute and was still good enough to win. If she trapped better her record would be much more impressive. She is another example of how well these Schellens are doing especially when crossed to the ROUGE line.

AU13TOR13104 BB C - "BOY TOY"

From a Son of Champion Orgasm & Schellens (Another brother of Schellens Star)

6th CJC Champion Young Bird overall

8/13/13  100 mi. YB Pat Club win -  8th  CJC vs 3052B

9/15/13  200 mi. YB 2nd Pat Club - 33rd CJC vs 2988B

9/22/13  250 mi. YB Pat Club win - 46th CJC vs 2650B

9/29/13  250 mi. YB Pat Club win - 35th CJC vs 2001B

"BOY TOY" - A triple winner with this grandson of my Schellens JEWEL & the Super Vooruit. This is a different cross as the ORGASM hen goes back to some of the oldest bloodlines of the Torres family. I cant say enough of just how much  the GOOEDE JAARLING / SUPER VOORUIT line of Schellens have contributed to the overall improvement of the breeder team as  s evidenced by the performance of their offspring.

also 20th in the 400mi yb Paterson Air Derby

   300 mi Pat Club win - 23rd CJC vs 1157B

"RYTHM IN MOTION" An exciting YB She earned CJC Champion 1st North Sect. & 2nd overall. Further evidence that the LOLITA blood is strong and pre-potent. She is a daughter of a linebred LOLITA and linebred VIEJO. These old lines of the family are still producing champions for me for over 30 years, generations from the originals. She is not alone her two sisters are also a very good racers and showing a lot of promise. This is just a start for this super girl. After a scare with a hawk and because she is physically perfect and has proven what she can do she has now been retired to the breeding team. She is medium in size with very supple muscule and apple bodied that feels like she is always ready for her next race. I am optimistic that she will be an even better breeder than her ancestors if that is even possible. In 2013 a daughter of RYTHM has bred a triple winner 

IF 09 DRTOR 9100 BB H -  "Lady Jordan"

Daughter of Schellens Star when mated to Evolution

CJC 1st Champion Bird Overall

(Handled by Tom Fahmie's Battleridge Loft)

350 mi - 10th Paterson Air Derby Futurity

500 mi - 5th club   - 15th CJC Combine 2082 B

"Lady Jordan" One of 5 siblings that are all scoring from a really exciting first time pairing. Her sire is EVOLUTION a son of champion "NITRO," who is a son of the ROUGE our foundation cock. Her dam is our newest family member and a daughter of the DNA certified daughter of Karel Schellens the "GOEDE JARLING" son of his foundation pair and when mated to a direct son of "SUPER VOORUIT".  The crossing of our Schellens onto our ROUGE family has been nothing short of  amazing. As is proven here they score from 100 to 500 miles. Three of the five born won really high positions in the CJC races vs 2500 birds. More importantly one of them topped the 300 mi CJC Combine OB vs. 2570 birds. Another has 2 scores a 58th & a 76th and of course as shown above Lady Jordan scored 4 positions no worse tha 16th vs an average 2600+ birds.

We are currently seeing many more champions from the blending of these lines.

Special thanks to Tom Fahmie for the great handling and help in proving this combination.

IF 09 DRTOR 9007 BB H "RELIABLE ROSE"

FLASH***FLASH*** FLASH

In 2013 A late hatch 1/2 sister to ROSE has reportedly won 3 Y,B races for her handler She has also come back to win 2 times @ 300 mile Old Bird events for Dave Gross of Jorneys End Loft of Pooler, Georgia. The rose has now been retired to the breeding team.

If 08 DRTOR 8063  "CRUTCHES"

The best thing of this guy is the line of family he comes from with multiple winners for generations. Triple winners are not uncommon in the line as is evident by his record. Even after some pretty severe injuries It all started with a very special bird called "The Perfect 10". He was almost destroyed by a hawk and still went on to win 5 of 6 races entered for his handler. Then he became a great breeder.

His g.grandson "CRUTCHES" won 3 races @ 150, 250 & 300 and a 2nd but equal first @ 300 mi and a 6th @ 300mi. The amazing thing is that like his g.grfather he did this after breaking both legs as a yb. I think that is pretty impressive and its been done multiple times by the same line.His record is as follows.

NITRO was retired from racing in 2005 I felt he would be more valued as a breeder. He is a son of the great "ROUGE" and a grson of the famous "LOLITA" two of my most valued foundation birds of today's family. He proved me right as he has sired multiple winners including an AU Champion and with several hens. He is truly a genetic fountain on both sides of the pedigree! Several of his Children as well as grchildren are also producing some super racers.

TAR BABY - So named because she came home loaded with Tar and many of her feathers had to be stripped and molted as a result she lost 1 1/2 seasons and still she earned a great record. I often wonder how great a record she could have earned if she had not lost so much time. Much of her success was earned as a three year old. She is a fantastic full bodied hen with muscle and strength to spare. When in racing form she exudes a robustness about her that very few carry. She is a daughter of AU champion NITRO. NITRO was retired after just one YB and one OB season from racing in 2005. I felt he would be more valued as a breeder. My hunch was correct. Tar Baby is a sister to several winners and some very special breeders .She is a gr. daughter of the great "ROUGE" My foundation cock and a gr. daughter of the famous "LOLITA" two of my most valued foundation birds of today's family. She is truly a genetic fountain of prepotency and champion caliber performance on both sides of the pedigree! Several of her brothers and sisters are also producing some super racers. I am sure that when I move her to the breeding team she will produce those fantastic results as well.

La Mariposa - (the butterfly) So called due to a bad habit of fluttering around before actually landing. She developed it as youngster and it cost her a couple of wins. Every once in a while a truly super pigeon comes along that just sets the bar a bit higher. Mariposa is such an athlete! She is a daughter of the BOOMER and THE WALLFLOWER. They are known as THE SUPER 30 PAIR that makes her a gr. daughter & gr. gr. daughter of the great "ROUGE"  This makes her sister of many winners including AU champion, LEGACY, and other great champion racers and breeders.  She herself earned 9 CJC diplomas 8 of them no worse than 49th & 6 in the top 30 positions with an average of 2500 birds competing. MARIPOSA is exciting because she further proves that genetic inbreeding or line breeding and high level performance are attainable with the right family! The key is not just the breeding but the testing and confirmation that the winning ability continues to be passed on within the family. When this occurs success is inevitable.  Like many of her family when in form she feels like cork in the hand with a feather texture that is absolutely beautiful. She is an average size girl that due to her record is a giant in the loft.

Orgasm - She was retired after her 2008 season. After winning 5 races and scoring 5 times in the top 15 in the CJC against an average of 2500 birds in those races. She is now a new member of the breeding team. Her lineage goes back to my old original Janssen line the Theo Hartogs, Janssens including Viejo, sire of 21 individual winners and some great breeders. This bloodline has been winning for over 30 years. ORGASM was so named when a friend handled her and he quoted”handling her is better than sex it’s like an orgasm”. I don’t know if I agree but the name stuck. However, many have handled this great girl and unanimously agree that she is quality like few others. She is a full bodied girl with soft muscle yet in form she carried strength but no volume. She is also aggressive. When she claims a perch or a box, intruder bewares because she will not only throw them out she will chase them for a while. That is the spirit that she inherited as VIEJO acted the same way. 

In 2012 she bred 8th CJC champion bird.  300 mi 1st vs 1674B & 250 mi 11th vs 2466 B

In 2013 she was mated to a SCHELLENS brother of STAR and bred ROMEO a triple winner for me.

6025 She showed much promise to be a great racer but after an encounter with a hawk in 2008, she lost her spirit and she was raced for the 09 and 010 season but did not perform well. She will probably be tried as a breeder. From the Aladdin and 101 lines. She is a 1/2 sister to RELIABLE ROSE

Legacy is a daughter of the Super 30 pair and double gr.daughter of the great "ROUGE"  She has been retired from racing and is now on the breeding team. If she follows in her brothers & sisters steps she will make a championship calibre breeder but even more important because she is a proven linebred performer. She is a sister to MARIPOSA & other great champions. Legacy as her sister MARIPOSA is exciting because she further proves that genetic inbreeding and high level performance are attainable with the right family! When this occurs success is inevitable! She is now a very good producer in the stock loft as well with several winners to her breeding credit.
