Aardens are bred specifically for the distance and extreme distance with our Aardens winning at 600+ miles but these birds will win at the sprint
if the conditions favour them.
We've had Aardens for nearly 20 years now and from the time we introduced them into the loft they have won at the distance but don't write them off
over short distance if it's a tough one. I've just bought back one of our own birds (2004 bred) and she has won from 65 miles through to 617 miles flying into Scotland!
Breeding the bird of the year in the Club and Federation. They have won at every level of competition including 1st Scottish National! Not much more you can ask of a strain!
We only keep around 15 pairs increased to 20 pairs in 2009, so for these achievements to have come from such a small group of pigeons is outstanding.
If you need to fly the distance, then these are the birds with the endurance to do that.
We have sons, daughters, brothers, sisters to many of the Europa Champions.
These are kept as closely inbred to the top Federation, Combine and National winners and
only birds on the day.
