This is what Mike Ganus had to say about the "Super Bourges"
Pure old Hofkens Bloodline and like his name says he is a super! The type that could fly 24 hours and still look fresh. He is medium size, longer body, rich red eyes, very strong body, and a very beautiful bird with that clever look. strong to the nest with a lot of fight when you hold him. He still has the look of the old Hofkens from the early 70's. Super Bourges bred 9- 1st place winners in Taiwan, Japan, Holland, Belgium, Canada and also America. We had great success with his offspring in both of my partner lofts in Holland. Super Bourges is a son of the famous Goeie Bourges (Belg 6564853-82) winner of: 1st Prov. Bourges, 3rd Pro. Bourges and 1st Montargis. Then put into the stock loft where he became an outstanding breeder. Dam of the Super Bourges, De Prince, was an outstanding stock hen and mother to countless winners and foundation breeders of winners around the world. She was the best daughter of the Old Merckx- winner of 16 x 1st and the Olympiade Champion in Amsterdam. You can see that Super Bourges had the blood of champions within him. His family was developed with multiple winners, Olympade champions and ace pigeons by a master breeder of pigeons that knew how to breed a better bird. Super Bourges is among the few legendary Hofkens' breeders in the world! |
