Coming soon…PROVEN...QUALITY...Racers & Breeders from Bill Sheridan’s PONDVIEW LOFTS. By now, most of the Up North Combine membership has noticed that Bill has not made the 2009 race results. Due to illness he has not been able to participate in this year’s race schedule. As in the past, Bill will aggressively go through a selection process. However, he will have to drastically reduce the breeding & flying lofts. CHOICE PIGEON will offer 40 – 50 selected PONDVIEW birds for auction this fall.
Breeding Stock
Bill has cultivated three main families. His Jac Jongkind Dutch family still continues to perform at the distance. His fine collection of BANDIT’S perform well at the short & middle distance, and the Elzinga / Schaerlaekens imports through Fred & John Weening perform well throughout the race program. Doug Rufenach’s Champion breeder, White Tail is also sprinkled throughout the loft. Bill annually adds Specials to his breeding loft including Game Cock, Green Eye Cock, Icon, Iron Lady, Mr. Chestnut, Hustler, Pride, Mystique, 969 Spaniards, Ludwinski’s #700 Van Loon Janssen, Mike Van Der Jagt’s Captain Kirk & 406, Ron Hastie’s National Winner, and Invincible Montauban blood lines.
