Secrets of Champions IV:  Winning Lofts - The Inside Stories
Now in Stock!

What does it take to construct the perfect racing pigeon loft?  Why do champion trainers say that excellent pigeons in a bad loft will seldom, if  ever, win races?  Why do pigeons from humble housing often crush excellent birds from huge palatial pigeon lofts?  Those are the questions award-winning film maker Jim Jenner sets out to answer as he visits dozens of some of the most successful pigeon lofts in the world.

This is literally the inside story of how the best lofts work.  Using 3D computer animation, and hundreds of shots of construction details, Secrets of Champions IV is your guide to learning what you need to know about creating a loft that brings your birds into winning condition and holds that condition for the entire racing season.

Filmed in Belgium, Ireland, Scotland, England and the U.S.A. this film explores how four key components are the secret to form.  The perfect blend of oxygen exchange, humidity and temperature, combined with what champions call the "carrying capacity" of a loft are the factors that are key to perfect condition. 

Just a few of the fascinating stories you'll enjoy in this film include:

How a loft designed by a 15-year-old boy became the winningest pigeon loft in the world.

Why classic Belgian attic lofts produce more winners than back garden lofts.

How mechanical ventilation is being used to overcome harsh local climates.

How installing small vents in a Scottish loft lead to a string of National racing victories.

How loft location to the sun and wind can mean the difference between success and failure.

How you can test your current loft to see why it may not be right for top form.

Which building materials can help and harm your pigeon's condition.

Secrets IV includes the comments of some of the world's most successful fanciers and takes you to the lofts of:

Irish Champion Ronnie Williamson

English Champion Frank Tasker

Belgian Champion Willy Thas

English Champion Geoff Kirkland

2008 Intl. Barcelona Winner Danny Vagenende

Scottish Champions Walker & Wilson

Belgian Champion Jules Mannaert

And many, many more!  You'll also spend time with leading Belgian pigeon Vets Johan Van der Cruyssen and Greta Van de Sompel as they discuss how loft design affects performance.

Great Tapes, keep them coming! December 19, 2008
Reviewer: Ron Osgood from Straight Line Lofts, Wisconsin USA  
I've got all your tapes.  Following the advice from the tapes I was able to win the 2008 Midwest Youngbird Race held by the Montello RPC.  In fact I took the first 9 spots then 11th through 15th!  Great tapes, keep them coming.

ESSENTIAL FOR EVERY FANCIER’S LIBRARY! CLASSICS! December 19, 2008
Reviewer: Gareth Watkins  
It’s that time of year again – yes, Christmas, which fortunately usually coincides with the release of the next installment of the Jim Jenner classic series of pigeon DVDs Secrets of Champions. In the fourth disc, Jim and his all star cast of pigeon greats go into great detail on loft design, loft capacity and ventilation. Each aspect is dissected at great length and you have the views of such legends as Frank Tasker, Geoff Kirkland, Ron Williamson,Willy Thas and Paul Haelterman plus numerous other top class fanciers, who discuss  their views on each aspect. This is explained in plain English with many loft illustrations.

One of the most pleasing aspects of this series is the fact that Jim Jenner and his cast are not trying to sell you anything in the way of products, but all are concerned about educating the fancier in good animal husbandry and the “nuts and bolts” associated with the professional management of a team of racing pigeons. Time and again the dvd gives examples of ordinary back garden lofts in which top class performances have been gained. There is no finer illustration of this than the 2008 winner of the Barcelona International, raced by Danny Vangenende. This little chequer hen  was racing to a run of the mill back garden loft to beat a field of 23,000+ birds entered by the best fanciers in Europe. Another excellent example is that of possibly the UK’s finest exponent of National racing, Geoff Kirkland. Geoff’s new lofts at Stoke – on – Trent are certainly not palatial and yet they are typical examples of  well designed lofts based on the principles of no overcrowding, no drafts, no dampness and access to the early morning sun.  The lofts featured cover England, Scotland, Ireland, Belgium and the USA and each fancier interviewed emphasised the same points - NO overcrowding, dampness or drafts .These emphatic statements were backed up by the usual impressive cinematography associated with Jenner films which clearly illustrated how each fancier featured, had developed his winning loft design. I was particularly impressed with the American lofts and their well thought out designs to counteract the fluctuations in day and night time temperatures whilst maintaining excellent internal loft environments.
Once again Jim Jenner has come up with a winner – a DVD that, along with the previous three films in the series, should be an essential part of every fancier’s library. They truly are classics. Congratulations Jim on a fine body of work.

                              --Gareth Watkins December 2008.
