different strains of pigeons

Next year we are trying Gilbert's.. Gust Jansen ...

ive heard of those, have you any idea if they are part of the janssen bros bloodlines...? or are they totally different.....like the roland janssens ?

They are out of Janssens Brothers bread by Clive Lister

that is Who We Bought ours off as he's a good friend of ours

What is a pure strain? Most of the originators are dead. If one cultivates a  group of pigeons over the years, then it should be the owners strain name. For better or worse. Mine originally way back when are descendants from Jules Gallez red jansen. However they came from Tom Mackawecki in Alberta. He imported them. They have had some crosses in to them since then. So I would call them Mackewecki strain. Still mostly red and mealies. Same as Aardens are still showing the characteristics of the originals. Plus others. If you are purchasing birds from a top flier then you can expect some good pigeons, regardless of name. Just my thoughts anyway.
PS. Posted before I read your message.

It was the Roland janssens the reds and the grizzled

good luck with them tony ...we are trying frans zwols from various sources a few of our hens from the same source the heron bros and a few of these crossed with van reets and wlg and van dykes kannibal lines...see what happens atb

Cheers pal I just hope they produce the goods and it sounds like you got a good strain there yourself

theirs some good flyers in the midlands doing extremely well with the gust janssens last few seasons ...good luck

My sincere apologies!!!! Shot my mouth off before doing any research! Roland Jannsens is Sprint king, still alive and kicking and has many good testimonials to his birds abilities. Again, apologies.
