* A lot is being said on social media lately regarding PEDIGREE PIGEONS with nice looking PHOTO SHOPPED Photos............
* All I can say to the critics is wake up boet and smell the roses!!!!
* A quality eye photo is important to me - I do NOT BELIEVE in the eye theory completely either, BUT good pigeons mostly have WELL PIGMENTED eyes...yes, the bad ones as well. That we can all agree on. 
* The purpose of a pedigree is to be able to SEE and READ how the pigeon has been bred, as well as from WHAT he/she has been bred.
* Here you will find the PERFORMANCE of the family.....
* IF the above is not IMPORTANT TO YOU, you may just find yourself in the bush VERY SHORTLY, Sitting in the furthest corner of the club, clapping hands for the other fanciers...lol
* As a top performing stud on organisational level, as well as in one loft racing, we shall NOT BE DETERRED from our breeding strategy to only breed pigeons from performance lines.
* Yes, we agree. Many has become Champions with our blood, and others did not.Some of them dismally failed. 
* THAT, unfortunately is the reality of the pigeon sport.
* We have also spent MILLIONS on GOOD and BAD pigeons.
* I KNOW that most fanciers sticking their necks out and sell pigeons have integraty and proud of their reputations, and shall ALWAYS STRIVE to only breed from their best and make them available.
* AND YES, I also know there are also many using it purely to make a quick buck!!!
* The answer is simple. Do your HOMEWORK! Start with the fancier selling pigeon's results on Union, Combine and ONE -LOFT Level. Buy from the CHAMPION FANCIERS, you probably have a beteer change to get a good breeder from his winning lines, than ANY OTHER SELLER.
* At the same time you MAY ONLY BUY DUDS....NOT EVEN a Champion fancier knows if a pigeon will be able to carry the winning genetics forward into the next generation.
* The reality is, EVERY SINGLE PIGEON you purchase has NO GUARANTEES. "CHEAP OR EXPENSIVE", from the CHAMP TO THE NON-CHAMP....
* MOST top fanciers have spent a lot of money in not only purchasing SUPER PIGEONS, but also TESTING THEM.
* They have the RIGHT to ask high prices and premiums on pigeons bred from their BEST.
* LAST NOTE- We are currently purchasing many MIKE/GANUS X JJJ LOFT Blood. These two gentleman are highly respected by ourselves and many thousands more as TOP FANCIERS. - We have NO GUARANTEES that these pigeons that we are payning THOUSANDS OF RANDS FOR, WILL BREED US WINNERS!!! Even if we are purchasing selectivaly with results and the perfect pedigrees.
THE RISK OF PURCHASING THEIR PIGEONS IS  ON US- WE must now make them work for us, and our system. If they don't, we will still respect them.

Good luck to all for 2020 racing season
