INBRED TO “JONGE SKILDERY” & “GREEN EYE SPECIAL”
The “JONGE SKILDERY” (ZA 35664 04 COCK) is a historic foundation anchor sire in Cas Mathee’s breeding system. Ringed in 2004, he represents the absolute genetic cornerstone of Cas Mathee’s famous Cattrysse-based “Skildery” (Pied/Paint) family.
- The Master Strain: He is a highly concentrated, pure representative of the world-famous Belgian long-distance Cattrysse strain.
- The Breeding Blueprint: In pigeon genetics, the name Skildery refers to a distinct pied pattern. Cas Mathee line-bred this 2004 cock to permanently lock in the industrial-grade physical chassis, heavy-duty muscle endurance, and high-altitude navigation skills of the original Cattrysse imports.
- Phenotypic Layout: He was selected for stock due to his exceptional handling qualities: deep bone density, silky feathering, tightly closing vents, and a rich, deeply pigmented eye-sign that denoted supreme reproductive dominance (prepotency).
- The Base Matrix: The Jonge Skildery achieved monumental success by directly breeding an immense tally of club, federation, and Union winners.
- The genetic blueprint of the Jonge Skildery flows deeply through modern-day champions. His direct children, grandchildren, and subsequent grand-progeny (such as the modern ZA KRPS 2307 20 Cock line) have won extensive prize money and captured prominent positions at premier platforms, including the Klapmuts OLR, Diaz OLR, and regional Combine Derby flights
The “GREEN EYE SPECIAL” (ZA LIM 06662 08 HEN) is a legendary foundation stock hen that holds an exalted position in Cas Mathee’s breeding history. She is the primary maternal matriarch used to anchor and preserve the loft’s absolute finest Cattrysse (Skildery) family tree.
- The Master Strain: She is a highly concentrated, pure representative of the world-famous Belgian long-distance Cattrysse strain.
- The Inbred Foundation: She represents a masterful piece of line-breeding designed to permanently lock in the extreme stamina, environmental toughness, and structural balance of Cas Mathee’s original foundation stock.
- The Nomenclature: She earned her famous name due to her striking, intensely colored, rich green breeding eye-sign. Pigeon selection specialists highly prize this specific eye conformation because it denotes massive reproductive dominance (prepotency), ensuring she uniformly passed down her elite characteristics to future generations.
- The Stamina Bedrock: In his broader strategy, Cas Mathee used the Green Eye Special as his primary “grit weapon.” While fast European sprint imports brought extreme initial velocity, they frequently struggled or dropped out on harsh, cloudless, dry South African racing days. This hen provided an industrial-grade skeletal architecture and thick muscular plumage to combat that issue.
- The Royal Cross: When her daughters and granddaughters were crossed back into Cas Mathee’s supreme imported European speed vectors—most notably his Van Rijn-Kloeck (the Notaris Duiver lines), Janssen Arendonk, and Louis Van Loon assets—the hybrid results were devastating to his competition.
- The Modern OLR Athlete: Her direct descendants inherit an incredible hybrid advantage: they possess the rapid wingbeat frequency and razor-sharp orientation clock needed to break away from massive release packs instantly, yet retain the deep muscle reserves required to sustain speeds over 500km–700km final flights.
- The Extended Dynasty: The genetic blueprint of the Green Eye Special flows deeply through modern stock fixtures, most notably anchoring the paternal side of champion producers like the ZA KRPS 2307 20 Cock line. Her direct children and grandchildren have won extensive prize money and achieved top ranking positions at elite South African venues, including the Klapmuts OLR, Diaz OLR, and regional Combine Derby flights.
