The best Sions in the world today are being bred on a five acre nature reserve in mid-eastern Kentucky. The five loft compound located there is the home of THE NO SWEAT SIONS. These are beautiful, long-distance Sions which all originated from PAUL SION in France. They were imported to KENTUCKY by Charles Heitzman prior to World War 2. Paul Sion was a legend in racing pigeons during his life. So was Charles Heitzman.
The prestigeous family of Sions now internationally known as "THE NO SWEAT SIONS" were created over a 70 year period by Kentucky's Best Selling Author and recipient of the American Racing Pigeon Union's HALL OF FAME, Earl Lowell "Robbie" / "No Sweat" Robbins, Jr. In the long history of Sions there has never been a fancier any better known or who has been as successful with Sions as "NO SWEAT." FIVE MILLION people have visited his website. He has won over 1,600 first places.
"I love the old stories involving Paul Sion," states No Sweat. "No person begins to know them better. But heavens, I must confess, have grown rather weary of the historic tales. I now somewhat view them as George Washington chopping down a cherry tree. Over and over again, so many brain-dead fanciers have copied, word for word, that glorious report which Dr. Anderson published when he made his one visit to Paul Sion. I have seen this more times than I have watched Gunsmoke and Mayberry combined. AND I need not be reminded of who Charles Heitzman happend to be. Almost all the stories involving him, I wrote."

The No Sweat Sions are a distinct family of racing pigeons. Known for their beauty and long-distance. They ahve set long distance racing records at 1,000 KM in China. They have set world-record young bird returns at distances over 700 miles. They have raced back from Key West to Richmond, Kentucky---1,000 miles. They have raced well in the HOOSIER, SOUTH AFRICA, VICTORIA FALLS and the FLORIDA DERBY. One pair reared 8 babies one year--ALL of which flew back from 500 miles as young birds that same year.

"When I was a very young boy," stated No Sweat. "I continuiouysly scoured the neighborhood for a bent nail and any piece of scrap lumber. Anything possible. To build a pigeon loft. My first lofts were about waist high with dirt floors. The best place on earth for a homeless rat."
