Mr. Weng Licheng is an old coach in the pigeon industry. The 3,000 km "Bashu Pigeon Queen" and the 2,500 km "Hailar Ace Pigeon" that he bred have turned a page in history. In 1989, he began to systematically introduce foreign breeds, and after a short period of running-in and study, he won the top 3 in 10 local races of 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1000, 1500, 2500 and 3000 km for 18 consecutive years, and won the championship in each class. Mr. Weng's pigeon breeding keeps pace with the times and brings forth new ideas, which is the foundation of his 20 years of undefeated and brilliant success. In particular, he has a personal experience of several mainstream pigeon breeds that are popular in the world today, which has a valuable reference role for many domestic pigeon fanciers who hold this pigeon breed. It was the breeding track of the Arena Fighter, and it was the words of donation that had been verified by countless successful races (Mr. Weng's first-person account is used for the following discussion).
The Jensen department, in the concept of ordinary people, thinks that it can only be played at three or five hundred kilometers. I think it can play short, medium and long, and it flies very well in a geographical climate like Sichuan. Specifically, it is three, five, seven hundred fast, dry kilometers stable. The above refers to pure Janssen use.
Because I have a habit, no matter which strain, at least 4 or more original breeds should be brought back, first let them be pure inbreeding, the second generation X four generations, the third generation X four generations, the first generation X three generations, breeding twenty or thirty pigeons, some of the appearance conditions are particularly good, reserve: Shu to make hybrid materials, the rest are all contested to explore the reality. This is called destructive probing, and there will definitely be losses. But the advantage is that you can know early whether what you have in your hand is real or fake, and at the same time, you can also find out the hole cards of the famous system that you have spent a lot of money to buy. Wait for the situation to be touched; After greening, it will be officially bred again. Playing games, of course, is a cross that will be faster and tougher. My experience is that in Sichuan 300-500 kilometers, Jensen X Jensen, or Jensen X Yang Ateng, or Jensen X Dilba has a better chance of winning; More than 700 kilometers, Jensen X Li Chong, or Jensen X Wu Song is more certain. Playing Jensen, the trick is to control the proportion of blood, no matter what strain is crossed, the ratio of Janssen's main blood should be controlled at 3/4. In this way, it not only does not lose the racing characteristics and basic appearance of the breed, but also can significantly improve the breakthrough power during the competition. In addition, the farther the race distance, the smaller the proportion of Janssen's main blood should be used in breeding.
I'm quoting Early Jensen, who has a very good physique and can withstand repeated inbreeding. The physique, muscles, and appearance of the inbred offspring still do not lose the original generation. Some extremely close relatives such as father and daughter, brother and sister descendants are also in good health and never get sick. Unlike "late Jensen", he has yellow acne at every turn, and he is very prone to illness. We Sichuan pigeon fanciers value pigeon eyes the most. But in the early days, the eyes of the Janssen pigeon were not good-looking, the bottom sand was weak, and there was even no inner line, but the effect was very good. Especially after three generations, the results have improved by leaps and bounds, and the momentum is unstoppable. Moreover, the results of light spot color are the most prominent, and yellow eyes perform better than trachoma. The Janssen eye that is commonly referred to as smoky gray white trachoma, which looks gray, with gray pigeons and light spots, I think it is a sign of degradation, and the actual release effect also proves this.
Louis Van Wang is an old pigeon breed and one of my favourite breeds of more than 10 foreign breeds in the shed to this day. It looks pointy, black and not slippery, male and female are difficult to distinguish, its appearance is not good, but it does not drop pigeons within 1500 kilometers, no matter good or bad days, purebred pigeons how to put how to return, never let me down! In the past, I heard people say that when they read the books, they all said that Louis was a late-maturing variety. But I only know that the so-called early and late maturation are purely different from person to person, depending on the needs of the owner. For example, I bred a pure fan-like pigeon that was only 100 days old and won the young birds' category out of 1,700 pigeons in Jiangbei District, Chongqing, and at the same time entered the top 10 in the overall ranking. Do you say it's early or late?
Now it seems that I was lucky enough to get the best Louis Van pigeons. Flowing on them is the blood of the three famous pigeons "No. 90", "No. 372" and "Sibin". It is the joy and surprise of using Louis the King of Mortals in the past few years that I believe that a famous species is a famous species, and the heritability is particularly strong, no matter how mixed you are, you can't get rid of its appearance characteristics and inherent flying ability. When the pigeon is young, the eyes are covered with green water, and when they grow up, they gradually dry out until they become golden yellow and bronze, and then with a deep rain of feathers, although they are not as good as the demeanor of Yang Ateng pigeon generals, but they perform better than Yang Ateng! Often inbred purebreds, a few months old, can easily win a good place in the 3500 km race in Shudi. Even a close cousin from the same father and sister flew out of the championship of the dry kilometer race in Jiangbei District, Chongqing! The excellent seed gas of the whole system can be seen from this. At present, I am only a purebred, and if I consider hybridization in the future, the prospects are promising.
Yang Ateng's head shape and eyes are quite beautiful, and he has strong hereditary properties. I raced directly with a purebred second generation pigeon, won a first prize of 620km, and came home the same day (1,660 pigeons, the way home)! I think the Jan Aarten pigeon breed has the best eye in the world, and it is amazing that the founder of the breed was able to breed such beautiful eyes as red, yellow, blue, green, purple, brown and silver. Like other thoroughbreds, Jan Aarten is also inbred. There is no deformity in three or five generations of continuous inbreeding, and the body is still strong and will not get sick. Now Yang Ateng is very popular, there are many people who raise him, and the source is complicated. I still think that Jan Aarten from Michel Beck, Netherlands is the most authentic, it faithfully and rigorously retains all the characteristics of Jan Aarten pigeons, the eyes are standardized, the yellow eye is golden, and the trachoma is blue; feather color standardized, dark spots or white streaks on flower heads; The bloodline is not "Dolly" or "spot", which is inherited in one vein and is endless. All of these reflect the unattainable professional attainments of Yang Ateng's successors.
Personally, I don't like Yang A-Teng's flower-headed white pigeons, and the Yang Ateng is a clean raindrop. But there is a great chance that the pure internal handover will produce a flower head and white strips, and for the sake of his own subjective likes and dislikes, he has to endure the pain and abandon it. White-flowered poplar Ateng is not bad, but some are particularly good. Although I hate white pigeons, I cherish the kind of white pigeon that only clips one or two white stripes. As it turns out, that's a lot of good stuff, don't fall. There are also violet eyes that come out of the golden eye X golden eye by chance, which are also treasures, and usually I will stay directly for seeding. With a certain number of the second and third generations of inbred pigeons, you will find that they are superior to the original generation of pigeons in terms of appearance and breeding effect. In terms of hybrid use, Yang Ateng X Jensen is a perfect match, very good, although the eyes of the next generation are not as good-looking as Yang Ateng's pure line, but they can fly, and they are stable.
In practical use, I prefer to use Yang Ateng X Van Wang Louis, these two varieties of ancestors are interconnected, similar in appearance and color, temperament, similar in nature, and are good at flying long distances, so they should be easier to integrate with each other. In fact, the two lines of hybrids have a comprehensive appearance, a strong physique, a hard pubic bone, a plump back, an elongated body, and the whole body shape becomes more beautiful and coordinated. In addition, Yang Ateng X the descendant of Louis the King of Fan, his eyes are not only good-looking, but also very sharp, and he can see the inner line without a magnifying glass. However, don't be too superstitious about the inside line. A few years ago, I went to Shanghai twice to buy 3000km ultra-long distance pigeons, and I saw about 2/3 of it, and I was surprised that almost none of these hero pigeons had an inside line, and some of them were also the kind of inferior inside line with a narrow circle. The 6 I bought back also don't have an inside line. Also, I am deeply skeptical of the pupil's "ctenophora theory" (i.e., the optic mass of the fundus) that many people in the circle believe in. It is not reliable to judge whether a pigeon can fly, how much it flies, and how far it can fly.
Dilba is an old and mysterious pigeon breed as well. A good Dilbar should be the kind with a flax in the ashes. The flax dotted gray pigeon is not often said to spray the ash, it is larger than the spray point of the ash, and if you look closely, each small feather is decorated with a large black dot. The Dilba pigeon eye is based on the requirements of our Sichuan pigeon fanciers for good pigeons, and it cannot be considered a pass. It is manifested in the fact that it is basin-shaped sand, and the bottom sand and the surface sand are intertwined
It is "very steep", and the sand grains suddenly become sparse here, but this does not affect its combat ability. On the field, its biggest feature is stability, and the harsh weather still runs through Changhong. He is especially good at 300-800 km middle and long distance races, and often has amazing performances. Dilba is mainly gray, except for the flax mentioned above, most of them are gray, spray gray, gray with white stripes, light spots, and there are also heterochromatic pigeons. I have a pair of yellow dilbars like the peels of ripe old pumpkins, and their eyes are also golden circles, which are first-class inside and out.
People say that Dilba's appearance is not very distinctive, but I think you will only think it is very beautiful when you grasp it, especially its pubic bones and muscles are good, and it feels very comfortable in the hand. Heredity is even more important. A pigeon breeder with taste and pursuit must have Dilba in his breeding team. All imported foreign pigeons, bred to the third generation (grandchildren), must consider the problem of backbreeding, otherwise there is a risk of breaking the roots. Backcrossing, using the third generation X four generations, or the second generation X four generations can be, so that the characteristics of the variety can be continued and persistent efforts can be maintained, and the results can be maintained forever.
In short, the four varieties of Jensen, Van Wang Louis, Yang Ateng, and Dilba are all good, and the use effect is comparable. So, in my mind, they are tied for first place. If you want to have a good future in raising foreign blood, the key is to be reliable and conditional at the beginning, and it is best to go to the original shed of the breed or the inheritor. The origin of the pigeon is important, but it is usually not known until it is too late, or when you really understand what makes a good pigeon. As long as it is a true famous breeder and comes from a reliable source, it will one day spread out and carry forward. I used these four breeds to breed together, and last year alone, their descendants flew back to more than 120 pigeons in the 700km race in Longchang (with more than 1,000 pigeons), including 28 pigeons on the same day! This was unthinkable more than 20 years ago, when there were only "dirt roads" in hand.
