MELLINGER & MCKNIGHT AUCTION STARTING IN OCTOBER STARTING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER WE WILL AUCTION 5-10 BIRDS EACH WEEK ON THE ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL I-PIGEON WEBSITE. YOUNG WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THE BEST OF OUR STOCK BIRDS DOMESTIC AND IMPORTED PROVEN BREEDERS. AS I PREPARE FOR THIS AUCTION I THINK OF ALL THE OLD AND NEW FANCIERS I VE HAD THE PLEASURE TO SPEAK WITH AND THANK ALL OF YOU SINCERELY FOR YOUR PAST KIND COMMENTS ON THE BIRDS PURCHASED. OVER MY 50 YEARS WITH OUR GREAT SPORT OUR BIRDS HAVE INFLUENCED MANY TOP LOFTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY SUCH AS THE ALL TIME BEST IN SAN DIEGO HISTORY MR. B.J. FLOWN BY PAUL DEBOO AND CONTINUED WITH MANY GREATS OF THE AREA SUCH AS RON STEINBRENNER. MR. B.J. SIRE WAS BRED BY ME FROM A BROTHER AND SISTER MATING OF THE OLD LINE BEKAERTS. THE FAMOUS SURE BET OF VICTOR VALENZUELA WHO ALWAYS SAID I WAS HIS MENTOR PURCHASED TWO SUPER HENS FROM ME TO MATE TO HIS FOUNDATION BREEDER THAT MADE HISTORY OVER HIS SHORT TEN YEARS COMPETING UNTIL HIS HEALTH ISSUE AND EARLY RETIREMENT FROM OUR SPORT. THE TWO HENS WERE MS. 1213 OLD LINE BEKAERT AND MS.1309 A MEULEMAN CROSSED WITH THE BEKAERTS. WE-BE-ONE CECIL ROMERO HAS A TREMENDOUS BREEDING MALE NAMED THE DIESEL WHO WAS AN I.F. HALL OF FAME WINNER AND WINNER OF OVER $7,000 IN THE CONVENTION RACE AND CONTINUES TO BREED CHAMPIONS FOR GENERATIONS INCLUDING HALL OF FAME WINNERS AT ALL DISTANCES. THE DIESEL IS CARRYING THE BLOOD OF BOTH MY MEULEMAN AND BEKAERT LINEAGE. OUR BEKEARTS HAVE BEEN PERPETUATED FOR OVER 50 YEARS AFTER BEING THE LOFT MANAGER FOR WILL WATERHOUSE FROM 1969-1974 AND KNOWING THE GREATNESS SINCE COMING INTO OUR SPORT, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THE BREEDERS AFTER HIS UNTIMELY DEATH IN 1975. THIS FAMILY IS TRULY AN AMERICAN TIME TESTED WINNING FAMILY FOR MANY AROUND THE WORLD. MEULEMANS NOW FOR OVER 25 YEARS WITH US HAS ALSO PROVED TO BE A TIME TESTED WINNING FAMILY FOR MANY ACROSS AMERICA. KARL MEULEMANS FAMOUS GOLDEN COUPLE PAIR I BELIEVE TO BE THE ALL TIME BEST PAIR IN RACING PIGEON HISTORY. THE MALE WAS OF THE VANDENBOSSCH BREEDING AND HIS MATE A JANSSEN BRED AND ONLY BIRD TO RETURN FROM A SMASH RACE FLOWN BY A. WOUTERS AND
GIVEN TO KARL TO BREED AND INTURN BRED WOUTERS BEST THE NEXT SEASON AND BEYOND. WE ACQUIRRED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE FAMOUS PAIR ALONG WITH GERMAN BIRDS FROM W. WULFMEYER AND H. NORDMEYER ALSO ALBERT BABBINTON AND GEORGE LITHERLAND OF ENGLAND, ALONG WITH THE BEST OF HERMAN BEVERDAM OF HOLLAND INCLUDING THE FAMOUS PERFECTION CHOCO FLASH PLATINUM HEN OUR RECENT ACQUISTION IS FROM THE FAMOUS DYNASTY LOFTS OF ENGLAND KEITH & LINDA TURNER FROM DAY ONE OF THERE INTRODUCTION IN 1989 FROM DEAN PALLET WHO PURCHASED THE ENTIRE LOFT FROM THE LEGEND STAF VAN REET. THE FIRST YEAR BRED THE FAMOUS CHAMPION RED DANIAL WINNING 19 TIMES FIRST AND HIS SON DANIAL-SON WINNING 33 TIMES IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE LOFT AND NOW OVER THE PAST MANY YEARS MY PARTNER HAS PURCHASE MANY OF THE KEY CHAMPIONS AND BREEDERS AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. THIS IS THE OLD LINE OF THE VAN REETS AND IS A BLEND OF JANSSEN AND HOFKEN LINEAGE. A TREMENDOUS PERFORMANCE FAMILY AND LINE BRED FOR OVER THIS PERIOD STILL WINNING TODAY IN THE TOUGHEST OF COMPETITION IN ENGLAND FLYING THE SOUTH COURSE INTO FRANCE ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL AND WINNING THE LAND RACES ALSO. SPEED AND TENACITY WITH THESE VAN REETS. PERFORMANCE AND LINE BREEDING I BELIEVE GIVES YOU THAT DOUBLE EDGE NEEDED TO WIN IN TODAYS RACES. THE GENE POOL IS STRONG IN OUR THREE FAMILIES AND ARE A GREAT CROSS FOR YOU FANCIERS TO GIVE YOU THAT HYBRED VIGOR AND REMEMBER THE MEULEMANS ARE HALF JANSSEN FROM THE ORIGINAL PAIR AND THE VAN REETS ARE 3/4ths JANSSEN AND 1/4 th HOFKEN BLEND SO YOU FANCIERS WHO LIKE THE IDEA OF KEEPING THAT JANSSEN TITLE ON YOUR BIRD THIS IS A NATURAL FOR THAT CROSS ONTO YOU BIRDS. OUR BEKAERTS ARE OLDER THAN THE JANSSEN FAMILY FROM THE EARLY 1900 s AND PERFORMANCE WITH LINE BREEDING IS THE KEY TO A LONG SUCCESSFUL CAREER.
