Busschaerts. Still crazy after all these years.

I don't care about strains.. Doesn't matter to me what they are, so long as the're Busschaerts
Now, who has the best? Pure!!

Racing pigeons are biggest deception there is, especially when it comes to European fanciers. It don't matter where their birds come from they always become their breed.

Busschaerts what are they, never heard of `em............

which ones you looking for the ones he raced with gill duncan
or the later ones of the rapido little black pluto ect
or his last lot sara mona lisa ect remember any bird that came to georges loft was a bushy thats why they come in all shapes and sizes some sprinters others m/distance and others distance birds all the best sean

the little black larkins corbett turner etc. It ain't easy to find them. and to find them top class. Birds that can live with the best of the rest, B'

lots of guys think they have them and say they have them but when you poke a little deeper it's their other birds that do most of the winning

i think that could be done in a lot of cases maricelbill, i`ll bet a lot of the adverts in the homing world say the birds they are selling are bred off this and that, but at the end of the day who knows what they are bred off............yes the fancier might have topped the fed 6 times in one season, but whos to say the birds for sale are bred off this bird?

i think a lot of winners and breeds of winners are fabricated by the fancier to make money, (altho i cant say it is always the case)

interesting topic youve posted tho` maricelbill.

2 wrong answers'..............................not you day today!!!
I'll give you another go

who was Georges Busschaert?
Did he have one strain of pigeon?

For the Buscharrt lines from a performance loft i would head to Ronnie Williamson at Newry.

John Crowder at Stallingborough has a nice team of them too.

he did the same as nearly everyone else and brought in good birds from all over and created his own family - I know that every pigeon that went in his loft be it a day or 10 years was termed a buscharrt. same as most Belgians and Dutch now - Its only some of the Brits that are scared of supposed crosses

I think the most famous has to be Tom Larkins, and then George Corbett The Coppi Cock.
When I first started in pigeons, that's mainly all there was.
Got it in one Delbar.

people get hung up on strain names familys theres only 2 kinds the ones that breed and the ones that score the rest just eat corn and crap remember georges first family that he raced with gill duncan was delbar catryse and van brueanne van der esp ect sean

Yep I still got a hen here that was was bred form the original Ali Bros pigeons from the three musketeers lines.
Bang on Sean, cheers for that.

I tried to get hold of John Yesterday. There's a guy in Weston Super Mare I'd like to speak to only I don't have a contact and I don't know anyone from there.

My freind Barry Nicklin still has the old lines left of Larkins, and the Coppi pigeons even has a red cock which is from his red cock champ Heartbreak

I think the reds come through the lines of champion "Red 20"

The Busschaerts of Ron Williamson of Bondhill in Northen Ireland are pure quality

My freind Barry Nicklin was big freinds with Tom Larkins in Deal

It's a long list, Turner, Beardsmore, most of the ones we know would have come through Deal. Larkins Henson The Reject Cock, Crayone, I think the reason we still call them Busschaerts is Belgian fanciers didn't buy into them like they did Janssen. The expression pure Busschaert refers to birds that descend only from birds that came from George Busschaert. It does not mean they will breed you winners. Same way if I buy a Van Loon I know it a Janssen. Now, who here knows an A.K Tonk? Are they still racing Busschaerts?
