First, famous artists
Looking at the dazzling celebrity deeds and celebrity photos in pigeon magazines, coupled with the dizzying names of Chinese and foreigners after drinking, I really don't know what a real pigeon master is. In general, a pigeon fancier should have three conditions: first, they must be world-class flyers who have been doing so for decades; second, most fanciers in the world know his name; third, they are rich because of their achievements. Judging by this, there are very few real masters in the world of pigeon.
There is also a more rigorous definition of a famous artist, including four levels of connotation: famous country, famous family, famous person, famous pigeon. If an ordinary fancier were to seek out his basic breeder in this way, he might take a lot of detours.
It is almost impossible to find the ankle number of any other country on the pedigree of any Belgian pigeon; on any pedigree of a Dutch pigeon, it is almost impossible to find any third country's ankle ring number except the Dutch ankle ring number, which is the Belgian ankle ring number; in the pedigree of any third country pigeon celebrity other than Belgium and the Netherlands, its source is almost always traced back to Belgium and the Netherlands, without exception! As a result, there are only two famous pigeon countries in the world – Belgium and the Netherlands!
There are several agreed conditions for the generation of a name system. First, the appearance and feel of the pigeon breed must be surprisingly consistent; second, the invisible connotation (what weather, what distance, perseverance, intelligence) must also be amazingly consistent; third, the famous family must have a stable genetic ability to pass on its excellent qualities from generation to generation; fourth, the famous family must have a lineage: that is, to maintain the purity of its bloodline, but also to maintain first-class racing performance. Looking at this, there are also few famous families in the world. Undoubtedly, they all originated in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Celebrities in the pigeon world are not singers, not prostitutes, they can become famous overnight, and they can be red through half the sky. Almost all true pigeon celebrities are famous through decades of painstaking and ascetic cultivation of two generations. They are not only first-class Sai Fei home. He is also a first-class breeder, who can continuously breed a god-like champion family from generation to generation.
Studying the pedigree of the world's most famous pigeon breeders, it is not difficult to find that their families were bred with one or more basic breeding pigeons. De Klak established the late dynasty of his with a 613; Van Loon was a breeder based with two males and three hens; Houben Family as a young artist; Jos Thone as a fighting pigeon; Gaby with White Belly; Engles with 231; Etienne Devos as Little Didy Koopman is known as "gentleman, lady of gold"... In short, the famous pigeons are the basis for establishing a famous breed. All pigeon celebrities are able to discover the Bole of Maxima and persistently establish their family system around his "Maxima".
2. Pass it on to the world
At almost all auctions, when the auctioneer introduces the breed, he always shouts tirelessly: this is "Jensen with Van Dragon", that is "Mulimen with Jensen", and then "Van Dragon with Mulimen". His pious attitude is quite reminiscent of the shouting of "Long live Chairman Mao and long live Him."
On the pedigrees of the thousands of pigeons called Jensen, Van Long, Muliman and other original rings that flowed into China, the foot rings of four generations of fifteen pigeons were not even visible on the foot rings of four generations and fifteen pigeons! What ignorance, shamelessness, boredom! Is it all the foreigner's fault? You don't treat yourself as a human being, who treats you as a human being? The pigeons play with a drop of blood. This is a universally recognized truth. But in the midst of the tide of unexplained counterfeits, where did this blood come from?
The so-called "inheritance" is the authentic product that can be traced to the roots from generation to generation and come from the master. Only by ensuring the "truth" of the pure blood of famous artists can there be the value of long-term breeding. Otherwise, breeding is more like buying lottery tickets.
Playing with pigeons is in a sense like playing antiques, you must be knowledgeable, you must be quick-sighted, you must also have luck, and you must be persistent! Hua Xin (look at this good today, Ming Er looks at that good family), dreaming (your male match my mother, the heavens are the champion), just get a momentary pleasure, a lifetime of childcare for others.
3. Racing
Deng Xiaoping pioneered reform and opening up with the idea that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth." To paraphrase the famous words of the sages: "Racing is the only criterion for testing carrier pigeons". This is a lesson that any pigeon breeder must keep in mind. Why do fanciers dedicate their lives, money and even their lives to their beloved pigeons? Isn't it just to fly out of the good results and compete to be the champion?
Almost every fancier has a theory, preferences for pigeons, and especially about pigeon eyes. Many people are more critical and talkative. But the pigeon is not a model for the Miss Universe contest, nor is it the majestic honor guard of the national flag guard class. Pigeons are athletes and warriors, they have to fly over thousands of mountains and rivers, and they are the first to return home, in order to become a part of the life of fanciers, and even in life! At least 50% of the factors that contribute to the success of any champion are intrinsic and invisible. Champions don't necessarily breed champions, but champions are always the offspring of champions! That's why we talk about famous countries, famous families, celebrities, and famous pigeons. Scientific research proves that genetics are the invisible hand of God, which plays a decisive role not only in pigeons, but also in human genetics, dominating life.
Pigeon racing. Sai Fei, and only Sai Fei can make a big wave and leave the gold behind. If you have two grains of gold in your shed, you should raise a toast to it! If a fancier's shed is full of sand, there are only two ways: or go to great lengths to pan for gold. Or just think of yourself as a bird player with a normal mindset.
Fourth, pigeon road
Seven or eight years ago, an old friend who had been in pigeon racing said, "Who keeps what pigeons". To this day, Fang appreciates the mystery. The elderly Liouse Janssen, who is over ninety years old, always smiles and welcomes the pigeon fanciers from all over the world who come on pilgrimage, year after year. If you want to buy a pigeon from Jensen's family today, buy a young bird for more than two thousand euros, you have to queue! His father, Henri Janssen, started his family by raising canaries, and with a group of children who never married or married for life, he created the first line of pigeon in the world with nearly a hundred years of effort. Now, even if it has not been racing for more than ten years, the world still flocks to the pigeons of the Jensen family. This is the pigeon path of the Jensen brothers!
Clarke spent 60 years from 1944, a young man on a bicycle to Jensen's house to buy pigeons, to his death in 2004, in his twilight years. For sixty years, he has been using the pigeons of the Jensen family as a source, using his best racing pigeons as the breed, to create the platinum pure Clark family. Clark once said: "If it comes to the time when I can't participate in the race, I will never keep pigeons". Until the end of his life, Clark was one of the most fearsome pigeons in the region. This is Clark's pigeon road!
The world pigeon world is so small and cheap under the background of louis jason and Joss Clarke.
5. Collection
A few years ago, the Club began collecting 100% purebred Clark pigeons from Clarke's original shed and Dutch Clark Satellite Shed, both out of admiration for the Clark breed and because Clark himself was the giant of the fairy wind bone in the world of pigeon. The world thinks that the Clark pigeon is the Jansen pigeon, which is a big mistake!
Clark and the Jensen brothers are family friends and have a lot in common. First, the father Henry, the son Vons, The Franks, Charlie and Clark are all "pigeons" - they can feel the feelings, abilities and qualities of the pigeons; second, the Jensen brothers and Clark are all dedicated to "playing with pigeons" to death with their life's work; third, Clarke takes Jensen as his source and buys several of the best Jensen young birds every year for fifty years. The pigeons of the Jansen brothers and Clarke are of the same lineage; fourth, both the Jensen brothers and Clark believe in pure-blood breeding. The Jensen brothers only received half a Ripley for decades; Clarke only received 1/4 of a million in decades (Clark's out-of-print auction pigeon No. 5); and fifth, the Jensen brothers and Clark did not advertise themselves in their entire lives.
But Clark and the Jensen brothers are more different. First, Clarke is a gentleman racing pigeon, helping others and even giving his best pigeons to friends; the Jensen brothers are the number one merchants in the pigeon world, and every pigeon has to be sold for a good price. Second, it was a "one-way street" for Clark to go to Jensen's house to buy pigeons; for fifty years, Clark bought several of the best Jensen young birds a year to strengthen his family, but never a single Clark pigeon ever went into the Jensen shed. Instead, the Clark pigeons, which are the best birds in the world of pigeons, add one aura after another to the Jensen brothers, so that the Jansen pigeons are even more sought after. Without Clarke's presence, I wonder what would have happened to the Jansen pigeons? Third, Clark has competed for life while the Jensen brothers haven't competed in nearly two decades. How do pigeons that have not been tested by racing know whether it is gold or sand? Fourthly, for various reasons, the Jansen brothers have never given the world a clear picture of the ins and outs of every important breeding pigeon, especially the most important one, the B-6131298-84 "De Afgekeurde". Neither parent has a foot ring number, and there are different versions of the pedigree book. Even in the bloodline book, the Jensen brothers are only introduced to the grandparents at most. Unlike the Jensen brothers, Clark shows the world the blood that has been as clear as a spring for sixty years! Genetically, Clarke's bloodline is the only internationally researched family of world-class thoroughbred racing pigeons. Fifth, Clark has never bought a Jensen pigeon since the death of Charlie Jensen in 1995. Presumably Clark thought Louis Jensen was better at public relations and bookkeeping. Since then, Joss Clark and Louis Jensen have walked all the way to Yangguan Road and Canoe Bridge.
