I am offering several very special Van Loons for sale. They were selected and set aside for stock from some of the best of the “old” Van Loon bloodlines. In almost each case, the sire is one of my old, original Van Loons direct from ADL (America’s Dream Loft). Most of these cocks are now 10 or more years old so there won’t be many more opportunities to obtain birds from them. This past year, I paired the old cocks up with some younger straight Van Loon hens and was fortunate enough to raise a number of excellent youngsters from each. Although opinions of birds can vary from person to person, I have done my best to accurately describe each bird as I see it. The photos are accurate, with no touch ups. A couple of the birds are late hatches and are noted as such. I honestly think that these youngsters are some of the nicest that I have bred from the old cocks. They have great structure with strong vents and backs….and their eyes are wonderful, with rich color and full circles. Each bird will come with a copy of the parents’ pedigrees. These Van Loons are a line bred / inbred family so, if you want to add a true family to your loft, or just need a bird or two to use as a cross, take a close look at these. AU-15-ARPU-7822 BCh C - A very nice medium size cock with strong back and vents and great eyes. He is in the hand and his bloodlines are the absolute best of the Van Loons. If he has any fault, it is that (like quite a few Van Loon cocks), he is not a bold, masculine looking bird.
Sire: AU-06-RRV-2071 - Bred by America's Dream Loft where he was a top breeder. (see attached pedigree)
Dam: AU-04-ADL-1844 - Bred by America's Dream Loft. 1844 carries the bloodlines of some of the very best of the old Van Loons and is a double granddaughter of Campbell Strange's famous "083 Hen". |
