AU-2011-KY-33 BLUE BAR TK. EYE HEN. "THE OCALA HEN" / "33." 700 MILE YOUNG BIRD. SION. BRED BY EARL LOWELL "ROBBIE" / "NO SWEAT" ROBBINS, JR. "33" WAS RELEASED IN OCALA, FLORIDA ON DECEMBER 28, 2011. RETURNING HOME JANUARY 7, 2012 TO RICHMOND, KENTUCKY. SHE WAS 10 MONTHS OLD. OF THE 50 YOUNG BIRDS RELEASED SHE WAS THE ONLY BIRD TO RETURN. 700 AIR MILES IS WORLD RECORD LONG DISTANCE FOR A YOUNG BIRD RACING PIGEON. "33" OWNS A DARK VIOLET EYE. SHE IS LINE-BRED TO PAUL SION'S BLUE BAR (ONE) WHITE FLIGHT COCK "LE-ROI." 33'S CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN HAVED PROVED TO BE OUTSTANDING LONG-DISTANCE RACERS. WINNING IN SOUTH AFRICA & VICTORIA FALLS. CONSISTENTLY DEFEATING THE BEST KNOWN RACERS IN THE WORLD. THIS BLOOD NOW RUNS THROUGHOUT THE NO SWEAT SION COLONY. YOU MAY STOP AND SAY TO YOURSELF. HECK. A BIRD TAKING TEN DAYS TO COME HOME FROM 700 MILES IS NO BIG THING. I RESPOND. PLEASE GO OUT TO YOUR LOFTS. GET ALL THE YOUNG BIRDS YOU OWN. RELEASE THEM FROM 700 AIR MILES. SEE HOW MANY COME BACK HOME. KNOW. I HAVE TAKEN GROUPS OF YOUNG BIRDS 700 AIR MILES FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. EACH TIME. I GOT YOUNG BIRDS BACK. ONCE. GETTING FOUR YOUNG BIRDS BACK ON THE THIRD DAY. TAIL WIND AND PERFECT WEATHER THE ENTIRE TIME. GETTING YOUNG BIRDS BACK FROM 700 AIR MILES IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THRILLS. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES THEM. CHARLES HEITZMAN AND I SAT ON THE STEPS OF HIS MAIN RACING LOFT ONE DAY A FEW YEARS BEFORE HE DIED. HEITZMAN TOLD ME. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SUCCESS. THEN BREED FROM YOUNG BIRDS WHICH HAVE CAME BACK FROM 500 MILES. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. YOU SEE. YOU TRULY LEARN THE QUALITY OF A BIRD'S HOMING INSTINCT WHEN YOU DO THIS. DESPITE ANY RHETORIC TO THE CONTRARY. THE HOMING INSTINCT ITSELF. IS. BY FAR. THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO LOOK FOR IN SUPERIOR RACING PIGEONS. SO OFTEN. A BIRD TODAY. WHICH MIGHT GET LUCKY AND HAPPEN TO WIN A 300 MILE ONE LOFT RACE. CAN WIND UP MEANING VERY LITTLE. OR NOTHING AT ALL. SIMPLY LUCK. BUT WHEN A YOUNG BIRD RETURNS HOME FROM 700 MILES. YOU CAN GO TO SLEEP. KNOWING. LUCK HAD VERY LITTLE PLAY IN SUCH. YOU KNOW. THAT YOUNG BIRD IS SPECIAL.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN A TRUE FAMILY OF RACING PIGEONS THEN YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. THESE ARE THE NO SWEAT SIONS. FAMOUS FOR LONG DISTANCE AND BEAUTY. PLEASE. TAKE TIME. TO LOOK AT MY LATEST YOU TUBE VIDEO. GO TO THE NET AND TYPE IN THESE EXACT WORDS: HEITZMAN SIONS NO SWEAT LOFTS JANUARY 31, 2025 YOU TUBE.
ONE OF THE DARK REDS IN THE NO SWEAT SION FAMILY. MANY OF TH REDS ARE LINE-BRED BACK TO CHARLES HEITZMAN'S FAMOUS RED CHECK COCK "OLD 51." OLD 51 WENT BACK 32 TIMES IN HIS PEDIGREE TO HEITZMAN'S ORIGINAL PAUL SION PAIR. TWO RED CHECKS BANDED 1033 AND 1104. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE GREATNESS OF "OLD 51" IN MANY OF THE NO SWEAT REDS. "OLD 51" WAS THE MOST NOTED AND FAMOUS RACING PIGEON IN THE USA FOR OVER 25 YEARS. HEITZMAN USED "OLD 51"'S PICTURE IN HIS ADVERTISEMENTS, CALENDERS, CHRISTMAS CARDS, BREEDING BROCHURES AS WELL AS IN HIS FAMOUS BOOK ON SIONS. "OLD 51" WAS BANDED: AU 51 KY 51051. THUS. HIS NAME. HEITZMAN MAINTAINED A BANDING SYSTEM. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE BAND. YOU COULD SEE. IN 1951. THIS WAS THE 51RST YOUNG BIRD HEITZMAN BRED THAT YEAR.
THE CLASSIC POWDER SILVER OLD COCK DEPICTED BELOW. TYPICAL NO SWEAT SION. MANY OF NO SWEAT'S SILVERS ARE DIRECTLY FRON THE BEST OF THE ORIGINAL PAUL SION BLOOD. PAUL SION'S "OLD GRIS FAMILY." PAUL SION AND CHARLES HEITZMAN LOVED SILVERS. MANY OF NO SWEAT'S SILVERS GO BACK TO TWO OUTSTANDING SILVERS WHICH NO SWEAT BRED: "HARD CORE" AU-2010-CENT-12439. A SMALL, SILVER MEALY COCK. BRED FROM A FULL BROTHER--SISTER MATING. FIRST OUT OF 145 BIRDS BACK FROM 615 MILES AS A YOUNG BIRD. AND "300." A BEAUTIFUL, POWDER SILER COCK OWNING LIGHT EYES. SIX TIMES 500 MILES AND FIVE TIMES 600 MILES, NORMALLY. WHEN HANDLING ONE OF NO SWEAT'S SILVERS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE BIRD'S WING AND SEE THE COLOR OF GREY IN THE FEATHERS. YOU KNOW. THAT SILVER PROBABLY HAS "HARD CORE" IN ITS BLOOD. IF YOU HAVE A VERY LIGHT SILVER WITH LIGHT FEATHERS. YOU CAN GUESS. THAT SILVER LIKELY OWNS "300" IN ITS BLOOD.
JUST FOR A MOMENT. HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED. TO ASK YOURSELF? IF ALL THESE NEW AND GREAT CROSSES. IF THESE FANTASTIC PIGEONS YOU KEEP FALLING FOR? A NEW NAME APPEARS EVERY TEN SECONDS. IF THESE BIRDS. IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY. AND GENUINELY. ANY GOOD. WORTH A HOOT. THEN. THEN WHY IS IT? WHY IS IT SO GREAT MANY OF THEM CONTINUE TO BE LOST? WHY IS IT. WHY IS IT THAT HARDLY ANY OF THEM CAN FLY 300 MILES ON THE DAY? WHY IS IT? WHY IS IT THAT THESE SO-CALLED "SPEED BIRDS" IN TRUTH NEVER SET ANY SPEED RECORDS. WHY IS IT THESE CROSSED UP SPEEDSTERS AT BEST ARE VERY AVERAGE OR BELOW AVERAGE IN RACING? THESE CROSSED UP PIGEONS ARE NOT. I REPEAT. ARE NOT FLYING ANY FASTER. IN FACT. THEY ARE NOT FLYING AS WELL AS DID THE BIRDS FROM OLD ESTABLISHED SOLID FAMILIES. DO SOME HOMEWORK. CHECK THE SPEED RECORDS. LISTED IN THE BACK OF THE AMERICAN RACING PIGEON UNION YEARBOOK. CAREFULLY NOTE THE SPEEDS OF BIG RACES WITH THOUSANDS OF BIRDS. TRY TO USE YOUR BRAIN. NOT ONE YARD PER MINUTE FASTER. NOPE. HAVE YOU STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT ANY OF THIS STUFF? ARE YOU NOT INTELLIGENT TO REALIZE. THAT YOU ARE CONSTANTLY BEING BOMBARDED BY PROFESSIONAL PIGEON SALES CON ARTIST? "HONEST ABES." WHICH WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING. TELL YOU THAT INBREEDING IS BAD. WHEN THEY KNOW THAT IS NOT TRUE. TELL YOU. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS HELP YOU. WHEN ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS SMILE. AND CAREFULLY TAKE YOUR MONEY AND PUT IT IN THEIR POCKET. THE ONLY THING FLYING FASTER. IS THE MONEY OUT OF YOUR POCKET. ALMOST ALWAYS. FOR SHORT RANGE PIGEONS. PIGEONS WHICH FOLLOW EACH OTHER. PIGEONS WHICH HAVE POOR HOMING INSTINCTS. PIGEONS WHICH WOULD FOLLOW A SPARROW. IF THE SPARROW CAME ALONG. HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT ANY OF THAT STUFF? AND THAT. FANCIERS. IS THE GARBAGE-STUFF. YOU HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO. AND HAVE BEEN FALLING FOR. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES. IT IS NO WONDER. FINDING GENUINE GOOD RACING PIGEONS FROM A TRUE FAMILY THESE DAYS IS. RARE. RARE INDEED. YOU SHOULD KNOW. AN APPLE DOES NOT FALL FROM A TREE. THEN. IF YOU HAVE A CHAMPION? WHY? WHY ON GOD'S GOOD EARTH? WHY WOULD YOU BE SO DUMB TO RUIN A BLESSING WHEN IT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU? WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW A PIGEON HUCKSTER-FLIM-FLAM ARTIST. TO INFLUENCE AND DESTROY YOUR COMMON GOOD SENSE? ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE TO BELIVE SOMETHING? THAT SEEMS SO SIMPLE AND EASY? ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JOIN THE SUBLIME? ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CROSS PIGEONS? AND YOU TOO. CAN FOLLOW THE HERD. RIGHT OFF THE CLIFF.
. THE STRAWBERRY MEALY COCK DEPICTED BELOW IS LINE-BRED BACK TO PAUL SION'S MOST FAMOUS RACER "LE ROUSELETTE." ALSO A STRAWBERRY MEALY. WINNING 34 FIRST IN RACING. THEIR RESEMBLENCE OVER SO MANY YEARS IS REMARKABLE. ATTESTING TO THE CAREFUL BREEDINGS BY NO SWEAT AND THE STRENGTH OF THE SION GENES.
WELCOME! Thank you for taking the time to visit. BLESSINGS. I hope you will enjoy exploring my HEITZMAN SIONS website.
I am a best selling Kentucky author. Authored eight books. Thousands of articles.
My first novel is titled THESE PRECIOUS DAYS BY NO SWEAT. My latest novel is "UNCLE MOSES AND ED HAWKINS BY NO SWEAT." Located on Amazon. My pigeon articles and stories have been appearing in pigeon journals all over the world for 60 years.
My pen name is "NO SWEAT." I am 74 years old. Just celebrated my 52nd wedding anniversary with Chesteen. Been together 60 years. Nancy our only child, an English teacher. Have two grandsons. We raised. Good as they come. Lance and Barrett. Lance has been helping with the birds since he was a baby.
I have had Sions going on 68 straight years. Won over 1,500 first places. All levels of competition.
I appreciate your interest and friendship. Sions have been my life. My name is synonomous with Sions. I have developed my own family. "THE NO SWEAT SIONS." Known for winning at superior long distnces. Also, beauty.
If you are interested in great racing pigeons you are at the right place. Particularly. Superior long distances. That is where you will find your finest racing pigeons. Birds with the strongest homing instincts.
Sions are the greatest pigeons linking the past to the future. No other racing pigeon owns such a rich and continuing history. SIONS helped to win World War One and Two. American and British soldiers landing on the Normandy Beach had SIONS helping them. Heitzman Sions helped China against Japan during WW2. Many of the Chinese today highly adore Heitzman Sions.
NO SWEAT Sions continue to win One Loft Races. Dependable. Racers owning earned reputations. Everyone has heard of Sions. Beautiful long distance racers which finish the tougher races.
Long distance racers. Where true quality surfaces. Winning races today over the world. NOT YESTERDAY. BUT TODAY. Racers paving the future.
In 2024. NO SWEAT SIONS won the largest one loft races in Denmark and Trinidad.
In the last five years. No Sweat SIONS were "BEST TEAM USA" in Victoria Falls, Africa. Beating every "big name" in America.
These Sions finished in the top 100 in South Africa every time they raced.
These Sions set long distance records in China. Winning over tough terrain at 700 KM and 1,000 KM.
Today. They consistently win in Japan.
These Heitzman Sions---a Heitzman Sion blue bar cock--won the greatest long distance race over open water. The Teneriffe Island Race.
Recently. Winning THE BIG APPLE Race in New York. Also a 3,500 entry concourse race in Maryland.
They finished 15th in the smash race prior to the HOOSIER fire. That being the last time they flew there.
A medical doctor in Pennsylvania told by his club memebers my Sions would not win. He won the first race he flew with a silver young cock . And continued to win.
A new fancier in 2024, outside St. Louis. Informed by his local "experts." My Sions would not win. He won their first four races.
I smile. Observing. In Indiana, Texas, Tennesee, and more. Watching "experts" eat their words.
New fanciers should learn the truth about Sions. How fine they really are. Hearty. Beautiful. Mature quick. Live long.
The NO SWEAT SIONS have been coming back from 500 and 600 air miles year after year. They are based on the very best Sions which Charles Heitzman owned. I have devoted my life honoring Charles Heitzman and Paul Sion.
FOUR different years. These Sions came back from 700 air miles. From the middle of Florida to Richmond, Kentucky. Each time. World Record long distance racing for YOUNG BIRDS. Many of the breeders I own today. Have this 700 mile YOUNG BIRD blood.
The NO SWEAT SIONS are based entirely on the Heitzman Sions. Charles Heitzman imported his Sions directly from Mons. Paul Sion in France. After Charles Heitzman died. I became their flag bearer. The flagship for Sions. Like VAN LOON. I believe in maintaining a solid family. Based on performance. Understanding. Line breeding. Appreciating a good thing when you have it. Working with the best. To make it better.
Sions have been winning at all distances over all terrains at all speeds for over 100 years. A racing history un-matched. Never a family of racing pigeons their equals. They are the future. I will enter THE FLORIDA DERBY withfour of my Sions this year. Sions love great and honest competition.
Please take the time to inspect these recent photos. What you see. Are Sions I have now. Basis of what I will be breeding from in 2025. I aim at quality.
Note. In 1971. I flew in the top ten futurity races in North America. I won three of those. Setting a money winning record in The Twin City Gold Band Futurity. In the other seven races. I finished in the top ten.That year. I was selected for WHO's WHO in England. That was over 50 years ago. I have improved every year since.
I maintain a family of racing pigeons. I may well be the only fancier in North America who does this. I remain "OLD SCHOOL." Pure old line Sions. Honest Sions. I take pride in being "on top" of every small matter. Always improving. Understanding genetics. Aiming at the finset racer possible. Appreciating what I have. Knowing a good thing when I have it. You may hear some "expert" fancier claim he does not like families. Why? Becausae he does not have a family. He can't find a family. Not a true family. Unless he finds NO SWEAT. The reason families rarely exist? Becaue fanciers today. Do not want to put in the life time it takes to develop a great family of racing pigeons. Or. Possess the abilities. Today. Everything is "go go go." Don't blink. Fanciers will believe anything they hear. Rarely. Do they know. Or hear. What is true. So many fanciers sell "beautiful pedigrees." Instead of solid pigeons. Maybe. One day. They will have a one loft race just for pedigrees? Pigeons crossed every which way from sundown.
There are "big--shots-experts" in the pigeon world which will tell you anything. They are always "helping you." Exactly like used car salesmen. Politicians. Making endless videos every day --- always "helping you." Motive being--to help GET YOUR money into their pocket in one manner or the other. Claiming crosses are the best birds. Present you with their selected facts which they only want to show. ADVERTISE they have the best birds in the WORLD. If you take the time to research-study--you find---they don't have birds which finish in races. Same people telling you they handle and inspect and judge over a million pigeons a year. When there is only 500,000 minutes to a year. They know. Fanciers rarely check what they say. It goes on and on. Lance, my grandson, helps me with the birds all the time. He loves them. He said. He would like to be a success in the sport one day. I told him. It would never happen. That he was, too honest.
Can you stop to imagine. If in any one loft race any place in the world just happened to have one-half of its entries being NO SWEAT SIONS---what the results would be for every training toss and race therein? You see. Stuff like this is never thought of. Never mentioned. When I fly against 10,000 or 5,000 entries. My family of Sions are the only family to be entered. I race against all the crosses. Let that settle in your head just in numerical advantages and dis-advantges. Yet, you see the results. How this FAMILY of Sions somehow emerges despite the odds from all of those crosses. Odds well over 1,000 to one. Can you begin to imagine? If everything was "even-Stephen" on a level playing field? How much these Sions would prevail--totally dominate.
I am one of those old fanciers who has given his life to racing pigeons. I have heard and seen it all: Professional-slick advertisements. Photo-shop pigeons. ABE LINCOLN fact setters. Pretending Mr. "Nice guy" cons. Excited fanciers who know all the secrets. Fanciers on "the inside track." Tap dancers. Singers. Circus Acts. Fanciers standing on their heads and spitting out ten dollar gold coins to grab your attention. Gorgeous pedigrees framable. Move over Mona Lisa. You name it. Simply Incredible. Fanciers blind.
I am always happy to speak with anyone about Sions. I can talk all day about Charles Heitzman. I honestly try to answer any question you own. I enjoy meeting and making new friends. I am best reached by emails. I always answer any email sent.
Those few of you still alive today which knew Charles Heitzman remember. He always ended his letters and advertisements with the slogan "FROM THE BEST COME THE BEST." And. As you have heard. "THE APPLE DOES NOT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE." There is a greart deal of wisdom in these sayings. No wonder. I believe in maintaining a family.
Inspect these recent photos of my 2025 breeders. Birds speak for themselves.

THE NO SWEAT LOFTS MAINTAIN THREE MAIN COLORS: BLUE BARS, SILVER BARS AND REDS. PERFORMANCE AT LONGER DISTANCES IS THE FIRST PRORITY. THEN, BEAUTY. THE NO SWEAT SIONS OWN CLOSED BACKS, TIGHT VENTS AND EXCELLENT BALANCE.
FOR THE PAST 25 YEARS THE NO SWEAT LOFTS HAVE BRED OUTSTANDING BRICK RED SIONS WINNING AT 600 MILES AND FARTHER. IN CHINA. THEY WON A 1,000 KM RACE 3,500 ENTRIES. NO SWEAT HAS HAD SEVERAL OF REDS COME BACK FROM 700 AIR MILES AS YOUNG BIRDS. WORLD-RECORD LONG DISTANCE FOR A YOUNG BIRD.
LANCE ROBBINS. NO SWEAT'S GRANDSON. HAS BEEN A GOD-SEND WORKING WITH THE NO SWEAT SIONS FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. LANCE IS A RECOGNIZED SWIMMER, SCUBA DIVER, SURFER, SPELUNKER AND MORE. HE RECEIVED A "FULL ACADEMIC-MULTI SCHOLARSHIPS RIDE" THROUGHOUT COLLEGE. INSTEAD OF OWING MONEY WHEN HE GRADUATES. THE UNIVERSITY PAID HIM AN ADDITIONAL $10,000 TO ATTEND.
WHEN YOU SEE A TRUE FAMILY OF RACING PIGEONS YOU WILL SEE A SIMILARITY IN THEIR FACES. THEY WILL OWN THE BASIC SAME SIZE. HANDLE MUCH ALIKE. EVEN SAME DISPOSITIONS. THE NO SWEAT SION FAMILY MAY BE THE ONLY TRUE FAMILY OF RACERS TODAY IN NORTH AMERICA CREATED BY THE ORIGINAL FANCIER HIMSELF. REMARKABLY. THIS FAMILY CONSISTENTLY WINS MAJOR RACES ACROSS THE USA AND WORLD TODAY. PROOF OF THE VALUE OF A SOLID FAMILY MAINTAINED BY SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
Many of THE NO SWEAT SIONS tace back to the greatest Sion ever exported by Paul Sion. A blue white flight cock named, "LE-ROI." Lew Curtis and Charles Heitzman owned incredible success with racers bred down from Le-Roi. Particularly racing longer distances.
THE NO SWEAT LOFTS ARE LOCATED ON FIVE ACERS IN RICHMOND, KENTUCKY. LAND OWNING AN OPEN FIELD, CREEK AND WOODS. NO SWEAT IS ALLOWING THE ENTIRE AREA TO RETURN BACK TO NATURE. THE NO SWEAT WILDLIFE SANCTUARY. A SERENE AREA. FOREVER. FOR ALL PLANTS, BIRDS AND LIVING CREATURES.
THE PHOTO ABOVE IS AN "OPERATIONS ROOM." WHERE NO SWEAT WORKS WITH HIS SIONS. THE BIG PLASTIC BAGS ARE FULL OF PINE NEEDLES. USED FOR NESTING MATERIALS. THE WICKER BASKETS WERE ALL THE PROPERTY OF CHARLES HEITZMAN AT ONE TIME.
NO SWEAT AND HIS GRANDSON, LANCE. THE HARSH WINTER, JANUARY, 2025. TEPERATURES OFTEN DROPPING BELOW ZERO.
A 2024 late hatch out of SUMMERTIME and THE MALTESE FALCON.
ABOVE PHOTO. "SUMMERTIME." AU 2018 KY18160 BLUE BAR HEN. SUMMERTIME'S GRANDMOTHER IS 2011-33. "THE OCALA HEN." SHE IS SHOWN ON THIS WEBSITE UPDATE. THE OCALA HEN IS A DARK VIOLET EYE BLUE HEN. SHE WAS RELEASED WITH 50 YOUNG BIRDS IN OCALA FLORIDA. 700 MILES FROM NO SWEAT'S LOFTS. TEN DAYS LATER 33 WAS THE ONLY YOUNG BIRD TO COME HOME. AS IT TURNED OUT 33 BECAME AN OUTSTANDING BREEDER. SUMMERTIME FINISHED 41RST IN THE SOUTH AFRICA RACE AGAINST THE 10,000 ORIGINAL ENTRIES. HER FULL SISTER LED THE ENTIRE USA CONTINGENT-ENTRIES SEVERAL TIMES IN RELEASES AND RACES IN THE VICTORIA FALLS. SUMMERTIME WAS PURCHASED BACK AT GREAT COST FROM AFRICA AND TODAY IS ONE OF THE KEY BREEDERS FOR NO SWEAT IN 2025. THE DARK EYE BLUE HEN SHOWN BELOW IS A TYPICAL SION OF THIS LINAGE. NO SWEAT BRED HER IN 2024. HER SISTER WENT TO TAIWAN. SHE IS NOW ALSO A 2025 BREEDER. MANY FANCIERS REMARK ABOUT THE GREATNESS OF "THE BLACK-EYED SIONS." ACTUALLY. THEY ARE NOT TRUE BLACK COLORED EYES. SOME ARE VERY DARK VIOLET EYES SOMETIMES OWNING BITS OF DARK EMERLD GREEN IN THEM. AND SOMETIMES. THESE DARK-EYED SIONS ACTUALLY HAVE DARK-COLORED CHESTNUT EYES. HEITZMAN LOVED THAT EYE. ESPECIALLY FOR BREEDING.
LANCE HOLDING TWO 2025 EARLY HATCHES OUT OF SUMMERTIME AND THE MALTESE FALCON. BOTH BIRDS HEADED TO THE FLORIDA DERBY.
"THE MALTESE FALCON." BLUE BAR COCK. VERY LIGHT VIOLET EYES. AU 23 KY 23036. NO SWEAT SION. OF THE 1,000 YOUNG BIRDS NO SWEAT BRED IN 2023, HE VALUES THIS BLUE BAR AS THE BEST. HE NAMED HIM AFTER THE FAMOUS STATUE IN THE HUMPHREY BOGART MOVIE. HIS FATHER IS A BLUE BAR COCK NAMED "ELVIS." 2015-50998. THE MALTESE FALCON IS A PERFECT PIGEON. ALPHA PERONALITY. BECAUSE OF THE "BALANCING ACT" IMPORTANT IN SELECTING POTENTIAL BREEDERS. NO SWEAT WILL BE MATING THE MALTESE FALCON TO SUMMERTIME IN 2025. PLANS ARE. TWO OF THEIR BABIES WILL BE ENTERED IN THE FLORIDA DERBY.,
THE CLASSY BLUE BAR ABOVE IS A DAUGHTER OUT OF MY CHAMPION LONG-DISTANCE SION NAMED "CHATTANOOGA." 2009-23007. CHATANOOGA'S NESTMATE FINISHED 13th in the AU CONVENTION RACE. AS A YOUNG BIRD CHATTANOOGA WAS RELEASED AT 200 MILES FROM CHATTANOOGA, TN. SHE WAS CAUGHT BY A COOPER HAWK ALMOST IMMEDITELY UPON RELEASE. TWO DAYS LATER. HORRIBLY WOUNDED. SHE ARRIVED BACK TO THE NO SWEAT LOFTS. A YEAR LATER. SHE WAS RELEASED FROM 620 MILES. SHE CAME BACK HOME ON THE SECOND DAY. UN-RECOGNIZABLE. TOTALLY DRENCHED IN TAR AND OIL. AFTER THAT. SHE WAS RETIRED AS A PERMANENT BREEDER. MANY OF HER DIRECT BABIES AND GRANDCHILDREN HAVE WON AT 500 AND 600 MILES ACROSS THE USA. THEIR HOMING INSTINCTS AND HEART BEING CONTINUED. IN THE NO SWEAT LOFTS. SOMETIMES. IF YOU NOTE A DARKER COLORED BLUE BAR. IT WILL OFTEN TRACE BACK TO CHATTANOOGA.
NO SWEAT BELIEVES IN BREEDING AS PERFECT A PIGEON AS POSSIBLE. LEAVING NO ADVANTAGES FOR COMPETITION.
CHESTEEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN INTREGAL PART OF THE NO SWEAT SIONS. FOR SEVERAL YEARS SHE SERVED AS THE RACE SECRETARY FOR THE LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY RACING PIGEON CLUB. TWO TIME VALEDICTORIAN. RECEIVED HER MS DEGREE IN CHEMISTRY.
Thank you for taking the time to look at some of my 2025 breeders. If you wish to contact me the best way is by email: [email protected] Those two blue checks in the photo behind me. One is of a young hen. I took her 50 miles on her first toss. Two weeks later I released her at 520 miles. She was home early on the second day. Her nestmate came about fifteen minutes later. I bred them from two red checks. "THE RED PAIR." They were bred from HARD CORE, LONGWINGS, RESOLVE and CHATTANOOGA. THREE were 600 mile YOUNG BIRDS. CHATTANOOGA WAS A YEARLING. The other photo is that of one of my greatest breeders ever. "PEG LEG." Unbanded. Blue check cock. His blood lives all throughout my lofts from nearly 60 years ago. Blessings. "NO SWEAT"
