On November 25, 2010, I will offer on Choice Pigeon
CU 02 BAR 1041 Dark Chequer TASKER Cock
Starting Bid $500.00 Canadian
Bred by Tony Paszterko directly off his FRANK & ANN TASKER imports. I'm having a hard time giving up this cock. He's a favorite, and was a gift from Tony right out of the nest. I expect all my cock birds to protect their nests. However, 1041 although a good neighbor, would challenge me while scraping common areas in the loft.
He is a medium-large, out-front bird with a very strong, broad back, and quality eye. He is an inbred GRAND SON of Frank Tasker's CHAMPION "FILMSTAR" GB 83 Z25196 - 26 x 1st, 12 x 1st Federation, 2 x R.P.R.A. Awards, 1st Ace Pigeon 1986 All England R.P.R.A. Distance 0 - 250 miles, 7th World Championships V.L.
These "PAUL HAELTERMAN" based birds have performed well for many fanciers including Frank Tasker's friend Geoff Kirkland. All three of these gentleman have been featured in Jim Jenner's "Secrets of Champions" video series. HAELTERMAN's "Halve-Fond" family of pigeons is bred mainly around one Champion, "JONGE KORTE", who won 712,000 B Francs ($23,000) in his career!

"Whitenose Limoges" was the result of crossing Frank's Haelterman CHAMPS to Andre Dierick's famous "SULTAN" lines.
Dam: GB 99 X99229 Blue Chequer - off performance parents, including wins, 1st Open Peterborough & District Berwick, and 24th Open N.R.C.C.
