ZG Helios Breeding Association more then 25 years of OLR power

03 Nov 2023

since the founding of the ZG HELIOS Breeding Association is more than 25 years ago, its members Dietmar Schulz in East Germany, Bruno Bucher in Switzerland, Yu Tao in China, Dr. Matthias Warzecha, Werner Hübner and Olaf Gehrken in Northern Germany have the general breeding goal:

Breeding of a high-performing, hereditary pigeon family with an emphasis on mold breeding.
With the focus on participation in One Loft Races, which have been taking place for many years, fast and resilient pigeons are bred which are already able to deal positively and successfully as youngsters with changing climate and other conditions.
The year 2023 was overshadowed by an insidious break-in and theft of 35 breeding females; absolutely proven breeding females were stolen in September 2023. The mothers of the pigeons offered in this auction: 485, 486 and 522 were also stolen.

We are currently well on the way to restoring our breeding pigeon population so that we are very optimistic about the coming years.

In the year 2022+2023 the pigeons of the ZG Helios won:

3. European One Loft Race Cup Champion 2022

For years our work has been geared towards combining the offspring of our ZG Helios stock cocks "Braveheart 1340", "ARES", "180", "Sohn Noble Blue" with the best that is available on the international carrier pigeon scene.
So it was no coincidence that ZG Helios had the opportunity to to acquire a direct son from the "Romario" who has already proven himself as a breeder:
"Romario 2" was the father of a one loft race winner and many others successful one loft race - pigeons in competition and in breeding!
It is remarkable what successes have been achieved with the offspring of "Romario" in recent years:
1. Pr. Victoria-Falls 2019
1. Pr. Algarve-Golden-Race 2019
1. Pr. Algarve-Golden-Race 2018
1. Pr. Algarve-Golden-Race 2014
1. Pr. Zagreb 2021

In 2022, the grandson generation of the "Romario 2"for the ZG Helios was successfully used at the one loft races. Some exceptional youngsters, also bred in the "Romario" family, are offered in this auction.

Of course, this auction will offer children straight from the best Braveheart 1340 sons and daughters.

The grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the "Braveheart 1340" have won:
3x 1. Pr. one loft race final (Kalimanci, Sofia, Dapirace)
1x 2. Pr. one loft race final (Ostseerennen) 
1x 3. Pr. One loft race final (Algarve Golden Race) 
3x 1. Ace-Pigeon one loft race (Dapirace, Moledo, Fauna) 
3x 2. Ace-Pigeon one loft race (Moledo, Hoosier, Halkidiki)
6x 3. Ace-Pigeon one loft race (Sofia, As Golden Race GR, Europa Masters, Giewont, 2x Moledo) 

Dirk van den Bulck's pigeons are certainly one of the current pigeons with the highest priority worldwide. There are only a few breeders who can consider themselves lucky enough to call originals from this exceptional breeder their own, which were bred on the “van den Bulck-Loft” in Grobbendonk.When we first visited Dirk van den Bulck in 2012, we were enthusiastic about his pigeons. We ordered a round of young pigeons in 2013. We are glad that we were able to win the first basic pigeons of this international exceptional loft for the ZG Helios before the hype about Dirk van den
Bulck started. We have been able to maintain personal contact continuously, so that in the past years we have regularly received originals from Dirk's top pigeons.
