Canadian Internation One Loft Race

[Formidable1]

What are your thoughts on this race?

[Pigeonrh]

A couple guys from my club send birds to it every year. Only $1,000 for a team of 6 birds is cheap nowadays. Its still a new race and the first year they had some problems with sick birds and I no this year he lost a huge amount of birds training, way over half! But the prize money is good and it's only getting better year to year I guess.

Hello everyone.

We are well over 1300 birds reserved and continue to receive reservations for 2012.
Birds will be accepted from only April 1st to April 30th. American birds must be shipped on Monday April 2nd so we can have the birds on April 3rd and some might arrive on April 4th. We are 4 hours from across the NY border from our US contact/shipper Dale Zehr .We take care of all health certificates and American birds require no quarantine , so they are in the loft quickly.
As an added feature (for those that can attend), on March 15th the world famous pigeon photographer from Holland, Henk Kuijlaars will be at the Canadian International One Loft race. He will be totally set up to photograph pigeons for any one interested. Just gives us a call or email us and and you are most welcomed to come down and have your birds photos taken. Henk does great work and considered one of the best in the World.

Please view our website and diary for updates.....

I wish them good fortune, I know sick birds and big losses could happen to anyone. But, I think I would wait and see if they can get the kinks worked out first. I would rather send a few less birds and send them to some well run One Loft events in the USA, which have not had these issues, perhaps because of better management ?

The AIC race is a good race, but it's about $1000 per bird. Worth a shot if you got a good team ready. I want to see the pot higher for the average speed though.

If you don't win a top 4 spot in all the races you get no money....you have to send your best, birds that can walk fast to get clocked it lol.

Update……..

Recently we were invited to represent Canada as a Canadian FCI GRAND PRIX ONE*LOFT race*and*are now*also members of the FCI* GRAND PRIX* MUNDIAL RANKING.
This is a world wide ace pigeon competition for ONE LOFT racing.*
Where results can be entered from 2 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, and your best results can count for this very ELITE WORLD COMPETITION. You can read more details about it on their web site http://www.pigeons-grandprix.com
This is a first for Canada, as all fanciers can now*have an*opportunity to*compete against the best lofts in the world in the ONE LOFT RACES for WORLD ACE PIGEON.
An FCI delegate will be here on shipping day to oversee the SCANNING*of the birds and SEALING OF BASKETS. They also will have authority on liberation, according to meteorological weather*reports. FCI Delegates can also come in and see*ANYTHING and at ANYTIME they wish. We think this is fantastic and reassures every one as there is a governing body that oversees the workings of the CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL ONE LOFT RACE .
The FCI will announce the WORLD ACE PIGEONS*and present them with trophy's and medals at the GALA DINNER of the OLYMPIA 2013. We believe this is great for all pigeon fanciers across North America and a step in the right direction into the future of ONE LOFT RACING !!!

Hello everyone.
Hope every one is doing well. We will start to accepting birds this coming weekend.
You can deliver your birds Saturday or Sunday between the hours of 8AM to 4PM.
We are only accepting birds on the weekends of April. We will not accept any birds after April 30th. If sending by air from across Canada, please only ship on Mondays (April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30). Please ship via AIR CANADA or WEST JET and please email or call us ahead.
All American teams, must send your birds on the morning of Monday April 2 by US POSTAL SERVICE to: Dale Zehr, 10632 Jackson Lane, Carthage NY USA 13619.
Phone number 1 315 771 9081.
Payment must be made in full when sending birds. All USA teams pay ONLY $1000 DOLLARS TOTAL. There are NO TAXES on American entries. All "USA" Teams are tax exempt as taxes are not applicable on USA goods. So no taxes for American fanciers is great NEWS for them .
All Canadian teams from Ontario only pay 13% taxes on perch fee . Which means you only pay $58.50 not $130 Dollars. So your total entry and perch fee is only $1058.50 not $1130 Dollars. All other Canadian teams only pay their provincial sales taxes.
This is great for every one in the CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL ONE LOFT race. WE CAN NOT SPEAK ABOUT WHAT OTHER TAXES OTHER BUSINESSE'S CHARGE.
We now have around 1500 birds reserved and are expecting quite a few more teams.
THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL ONE LOFT RACE IS TOTALLY DEDICATED TO PROMOTING OUR RACE. AS YOU ALL MAY KNOW, WE ARE DONATING $10 DOLLARS FROM EVERY PAID ENTRY IN 2012, TO "SICK CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL" in Toronto !!!!!
AND NOW WE HAVE COME OUT WITH ANOTHER NEW SUPER PROMOTIONAL IDEA.
On April 22 we will have a draw with every paid entries name. We will draw 25 names and these 25 prize names will win a prize of an extra team entry for this year 2012 for only $800 DOLLARS total. Then we will draw 10 more names for 10 prizes of extra team entry for only $600 DOLLARS total. Finally there will be one more last draw for ONE MORE PRIZE OF A COMPLETE FREE ENTRY valued at $1000 Dollars !!!! for 2012.
We think this is a most fantastic way of creating interest in THE CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL ONE LOFT RACE, and every one loves to WIN !!!!!

Why are the American birds only allowed a limited shipment on April 2nd? I think you need to allow shipments every Monday in April.

[B.Bennie]

Due to the tremendous demand from the US we are planning on having a later shipment.
The date will be posted as soon as we can confirm whom and how many require a later date. Probably the latter part of April.
