TIMELINE TO SUCESS

Selection (through performance) Produces World Class Champion Pigeons

Lion Gate Lofts started out by visiting all of the Champions Fliers in both Belgium & The Netherlands

in 1998 the top ranking fliers not stopping at any costs.

Houben Family Middle Distance Champions

I purchased 12 of their best. Not being satisfied in 1998 I went back to purchase 10 more of their better producing & winning pigeons.In 2002 only four made the final selection.

young pigeons were selected from Voske,

the 019 Line and the line of the $90,000.00 Cock. Incidentally the $90,000.00 Cock

was responsible for 16-1sts for Erik with 7 different hens.

In 1999 I purchased

two granddaughters from the $90,000.00 cock.

Looking for a skip a gene generation. Which proved to be correct. By 2003 Five made the final selection.

Silvere Toye

In 1999 I purchased three Silvere Toye pigeons at an auction in Denver. With some outstanding

results I visited Silvere Toye at his home and purchased nineteen Young pigeons along with 6 older proven hens.

By 2004 only 6 made the final selection.

Roger Desmet-Matthys

In 1999 I visited Roger Desmet-Matthys selecting from all of his national pigeons 16 were selected. Excellent pigeons. I won the Texas Shootout Race.

By 2004 only four were selected. In South Africa I placed 20^th in the final race. The only problem was Roger does not fly young bird races. His pigeons took several years to mature. By 2004 only four were selected

Jos Thone

My son visited Jos Thone and as a gift to me purchased 12 proven pigeons

by 2006 only five made the Breeders team.

Arnold Moors

During that visit my son met Arnold Moors a top flier in Haslett Belgium he invited him to visit my home.

Once Arnold saw the dollars won in futurity races he was astonished. He had bred Arnold 1st Int

Barcelona 24,949 pigeons, Haile Galdisphere 1st international Pau, Arnoldus 1st world champion.

Arnold offered me the Sire “Kiuri”& Dam “Roxy”of Arnold, The Sire”Fat Boy” son of Volare & Dam “Princess”

of Arnoldus. A sister of “Kiuri” for $54,000.00 with an offer to be my loft manager along with his wife.

These pigeons are my foundation pigeons winning today in the United States of America,

across Europe and South Africa.. In 2011 a provincial winner in Belgium is of these same lines.

Their children represent a very large majority of Jos Thone’s champions & super stars.
