Welcome to our Website
and thank you for taking the time to visit. We will be
adding more information on our birds and items of
interest as we go along. We waited a long time to open
our website searching for a designer that was unique
and one who could create a site that wasn't of the
cookie cutter type. Then we found Ronda Mariani-Haworth
of Simply Red Design and here we are. I hope you
enjoy it as much as I do. The short introduction
before each of our strains will give you a brief
history of how we started with each family. Feel free
to e-mail us for any other information or give us a call. We
have tried many families over the years but
the ones that have persevered are our Cattrysse, Busschaerts, Houbens, and our Blindman
Janssen family. More recently we put together our
All-Star Janssen family and they are doing very well.
We also maintain a few
pair of birds from our good friend and mentor John
Sampson that we use for out crossing for racing
purposes. John was very instrumental in the designing
of our lofts and advice on the general management of
our birds. Another key to our success is the daily
management of our lofts by Edgar Arlt who took over
for his father. Edgar also races under Arlt & Son
and has improved every year winning out of turn in the
Bayshore Club and CJC Combine. He has become a top
handler and conditioner of race birds. Our relationship
goes back to my coaching him in Pop Warner Football.
We are very proud of Edgar. Two years ago we changed
our breeding lofts to individual breeding pens so that
we could guarantee the parentage. There are a few
photos of our lofts in the "Our Lofts"
section. Please take a tour of our website and if you
have the time let us know what you think.
