Gray Fox and Harms Loft

Some recent results from our Peter Van Osch breeders listed at bottom of page.

In a very short time this family has proven to be outstanding!

These Van Osch Janssens are parents and grandparents to multiple 1st place winners, including "Hob Along" who won 1st place Quad City Classic one loft race. 07 KSM 240 won 3 x 1st including 1st place Midwest Classic (300 mile section) vs 582b and 35th place overall vs 6010. 07 KSM 240 also won 17th place AU HALL OF FAME!

These birds where instrumental in Doug Harms loft winning 2nd place Presidents Cup 11-20 loft category and 5th place Presidents Cup 31-40 loft category in 2008. We have won first prizes with these Peter Van Osch birds by crossing them with Hekkenklaks, Van Loons, Cater Blues and Schellens.

We have won other top prizes by crossing them with other families. They have done well at distances from 100 to 500 miles with 500 mile day birds. All Peter Van Osch breeders are based on the "DE 43" Line. This is the same family that brought fame to Marcel Sangers who owns "THE SUPER BREEDER" which is a son of the "DE 43.

Please enjoy your visit and contact us if you have any questions. Nice Regards Chad and Doug.

Over the last four years, I am proud to say that Mr. Peter Van Osch and I have become friends. Without question he is one of the nicest men I have came to know through the pigeon sport. Without his guidance, Doug and I would not have been able to select such great breeders.

Peters accomplishments can be compared to almost anyone. His world famous “DE 43” cock, ( best pigeon all Holland 1993, 1994 and 1995) has produced children and grand children that have founded many lofts across the world. Possibly the most famous being “THE SUPER BREEDER”, a son of “DE 43”, owned by Marcel Sangers.

One of the unique attributes of this family of birds is that winners are bred from many combinations of the “DE 43” blood. Children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren carry the CHAMPION genes.

In 2008 alone, Peter won 10 x 1^st in his club and 2 x 1^st in his area! Included in these wins, 1st place vs. 14000b. He won 1^st champion short and 1^st champion middle distance. He also had the three best birds in the championship. Keep in mind he flies against some of the best lofts in Holland such as Marcel Sangers and Eijerkamp. All of this winning is done from a very, very small loft.

We are fortunate to be able to own 1 direct daughter, 1 half brother, 2 inbred grandsons, 2 inbred granddaughters, 1 inbred niece, 1 inbred nephew and 1 line bred cock all to the “DE 43’. Our most videodition to the family is the “Cherry Tree Pair”. We purchased “Bolacherries” in 2005. In three short years she has became the foundation hen for Doug Harms. She is dam and grand dam to multiple winners. We were so impressed with her offspring as both breeders and racers, we purchased her parents. Please look at the video page to see other accomplishments.

Every once in a great while, a family of birds is introduced into this country that makes a huge impact on the racing sport. These Peter Van Osch Janssens are that family. This is just the tip of the ice burg of the impact this family will have for years to come.

Doug and I have 100% confidence in all the birds we offer. We cull very hard and are very critical of the birds we select. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your purchase we will refund the purchase price 100%.
