Robbie Robbins aka "NO SWEAT," BA, MA, anthropology, appreciates your time and interest in reviewing much of his life's work with hs family of Sions. He is immensly proud of them and what he has accomplished throughout his lfe. He has always tried to be the very best at whatever interests him and continues to do so.

No Sweat has taken 125 new photographs of his family of Sions for you now to see this late summer. He hopes that you will enjoy looking at what are now------undeniably the finest Sions in the world.
PAUL SIONS. HEITZMAN SIONS. NO SWEAT SIONS. NOW, after 65 years of careful selective breeding---the finest family of Sions are known throughout the world as "THE NO SWEAT SIONS." These are the most beautiful long distance Sions which have ever existed. They are based entirely on the pure old Paul Sion blood. Robbie Robbins, better known for his pen name, "NO SWEAT," who is the author of six books and hundreds of articles, has devoted much of his life in creating a true family of racers--------- which today-------- happens to be a rarity. He is a true "old school" breeder and keeps this family of Sions pure. As he clearly staes, "IF THERE WERE BETTER SIONS IN THE WORLD, I WOULD HAVE THEM." The plain truth is this, there are no finer and true Sions to be found anywhere in the world. "No Sweat" has NO desire to ever breed anything but Sions for the rest of his life. He is now in his mid 70's and hopes to live well past 100. He is in excellent health. An avid scuba diver, swimmer (he swam with 18 ALL AMERICANS on his team in college--- as he himself was a long distance swimmer, racing the mile, etc.) spelunker, archeologist, and more---this summer---- hopefully, a new novel by him will appear throughout the world: UNCLE MOSES and ED HAWKINS. This is a western which all of you will love. His books are now selling world wide, even at the Walmarts. You can locate his work by going to the internet and searching for books by " KENTUCKY AUTHOR NO SWEAT." Two of his books involve his life on Singer Island, Florida, where four generations of his family have lived throughout the summers. It is here where No Sweat became friends with John D. MacArthur, the Kennedy family, Burt Reynolds, Arlo Guthrie and others of who he has written about. He was certified as a diver in the 1960's by Frank Hammet who is now a legend among divers in the Palm Beach area. Of note, No Sweat was with Jacques Piccard when he lowered his "Ben Franklin" to study the Gulfstream in 1969.
Other strains of racing pigeons besides Sions have never interested No Sweat. And he smiles at those poor fanciers who pound on their chest and shout to the world that hybrids are the only way to go. No Sweat understands ---actually--- only a handful of fanciers have the ability and great patience to create a solid and dynamic family------ as they must know genetics and own a god-given talent in understanding pigeons.
The Sions need no introduction as to how historically famous they are. They were created shortly after the racing homers themselves came into existence. There is NO family of racing pigeons alive to this day as famous as are the Sions. They have earned the reputation for being the best at long distances. The best in tough head winds. The best in consistently making it back home. And the best in handsome appearances. They were dominating Europe in the 1930's. They were being used as those homing pigeons bringing messages to our troops throughout World War Two. Charles Heitzman, Robbie Robbins' "father" and mentor, also a Kentuckian------ who kept a room in his home always open for Robbie who was often Heitzman's caretaker for his colony of Sions---imported pigeons from Paul Sion four times and after Paul died in 1946, Mr. Heitzman then imported more pigeons from Paul's son, Robert, three times. Robbie Robbins "NO SWEAT" has gone to great lengths to give to the world the entire story of both Paul Sion and also that of Charles Heitzman. As Heitzman said to "No Sweat"----"YOU KNOW MY SIONS BETTER THAN I DO." You can find many of No Sweat's stories by exploring this entire site. It will take time. It happens to be the largest pigeon site in the world. Now, owning over 4,000 photographs of NO SWEAT SIONS. And you can also listen to No Sweat's stories on the internet on YOU TUBE when you go to "THE DARK SIDE OF NO SWEAT." There simply is NO other fancier alive today that begins to know the true history and the Sions as does "NO SWEAT." He is that one person who retains much of the original corrspondence between Paul Sion and Charles Heitzman as well as so many of the original photographs of the original Sions, the original wicker baskets which were used in the importations and much more. No Sweat has been writing articles for every pigeon magazine which has existed in the USA since the 1950's. And he was once a columnist for England's "RACING PIGEON" for two years, writing an article every week for them.
ROBBINS has concentrated on long distances. YOUNG BIRDS which fly 600 and even 700 air miles. That happens to be world record long distances for YOUNG BIRDS! These Sions which he has now formed into his own distinct beautiful family are winning long distance races all over the world, setting long distance records in China, being the very best from the USA in the Africa Races--"FIRST BEST TEAM" for the USA in VICTORIA FALLS, racing at the top in the HOOSIER race series and on and on. In fact, now, this family of SIONS have won OVER 1,600 first places at all levels of competiton all over the world. Robbie Robbins, "No Sweat" emphasizes that great racing pigeons MUST possess a great homing instinct. In having a great homing instinct, there you find the true best. The champion. And to find the best in homing instinct, you must experiment and race superior long distances. Then and only then do you learn which racing homers are the very best.
Of note, No Sweat's you tube videos have become the singularly most loved and watched videos in the enitre pigeon world. NO OTHER PIGEON VIDEOS have gained as much notoriety and popularity in the entire world. Some 200,000 "hits" in one year on one of his videos. 3,000 "followers." And this website alone now approaching THREE MILLION "hits." There is no other pigeon website in the world which begins to be anywhere nearly as popular. The pigeon world simply loves No Sweat. He is constantly being asked to make more vidseos by hundreds of fanciers from all over the world. What is amazing is that No Sweat's videos are often very long, going well over two hours. And it is these very videos which the public truly love and demand more of as No Sweat is an expert in all the areas of breeding for colors, how to smartly line-breed, what actually makes up any color in any bird, THE EVOLUTION OF ALL BIRDS and how pigeons came to exist, what to look for in sending young birds to ONE LOFT RACES, how pigeons actually do locate their homes, and much more. No Sweat is a walking encyclopedia regarding racing homers. He owns all of the knowlege which Heitzman gave to him and then some. He is that person who inherited the largest pigeon library in the world. Has read every word in every book and retains that knowlege and then some. He holds the record for being the youngest person to ever win the National Show in White Plains, New York. Also, a seven straight times "BEST IN SHOW" winner in the once esteemed SOUTHERN RACING PIGEON ASSOCIATION SHOW. The list of his accomplishments in our sport continues to go on and on. After 65 years with breeding Sions and having traveled thousands of miles and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars---yes, No Sweat owns an undeniable and impressive knowledge regarding racing homers, especially Sions. He is that one person who has truly kept the SIONS alive and on the radar-- known today. As he stated: "After Paul Sion died, Heitzman took over on the family. And after Heitzman died, I took up the flag. I have now had this family of Sions longer than anyone alive. Longer than did Paul Sion and Charles Heitzman combined."
