Dr. John & Morgan Lamberton breed, train, and race champion homing pigeons in Tulsa, Oklahoma USA and Hakendover, Belgium with Mr. Jef Cuypers. Dr. Lamberton purchased his first pair of racing pigeons in 1961 while in junior high school. In the 1980s, he again purchased pigeons from a young Mike Ganus and began traveling to Belgium with Mike

Ganus - Lamberton

to learn the racing pigeon game from the sport's greatest masters including the Janssen Brothers, Joseph Van Limpt "De Klak," Karel Meulemans, Jan Grondelaars, Jef & Luc Houben, Van Rijn Kloeck, and Gerard & Michael Van Hee to name only a few.

Antoine Jacops - Lamberton

Over the past 25 years, Dr. Lamberton has primarily focused his study of the fundamentals and the nuances of the racing pigeon game inside the pigeon lofts of Antoine Jacops in Vorselaar Belgium during frequent visits to the Jacops home. Antoine Jacops has been one of the most admired, respected and competitive fanciers in the Antwerp Union over the past 40 years. Antoine is a fancier who has created a tremendous legacy of success on the wings of a few champion pigeons such as the Witte, Gebroken Poot, Kleine Cahors, Super Ace, Diamond Ace, Nudist, Miniem and others.

Jef Cuypers

In 2005, Dr. Lamberton formed a partnership with Mr. Jef Cuypers in Hakendover Belgium. Although Jef was racing from a modest-sized garden loft, Dr. Lamberton contracted Hermann Van Ostaeyen, Belgium's premiere loft builder, to construct a new state-of-the-art racing and breeding loft. In addition to the original Cuyper's pigeons, Dr. Lamberton also stocked the breeding loft with excellent pigeons from Roger Florizoone's dispersal sale, Romein Loozen's dispersal sale, Emile Fourmanoir's dispersal sale, Denis Sapin, Henri & Danny Van Avondt, Oliviers-Devos, Antoine Jacops and the Herbots. Cuypers - Lamberton compete in the Brabant Province.

In order to share his knowledge and experience of the Belgian racing pigeon game with a global fancy and the general public, Dr. Lamberton offers his unique Blog, instructional videos and other educational links to reveal the science, the secrets and the myths of playing the racing pigeon game at the top of the race sheet according to the legendary fanciers who mentored him and the personal theories and methods he has developed over a lifetime of trial and error.

The "Famous Chairs"

	Charel - Jef - Louis Janssen - (The Janssen Brothers Story)	Charel Janssen - Dr. Lamberton - Louis Janssen
Pictured is Louis Janssen showing Dr. Lamberton the legendary "019" pigeon that raced home early week after week winning multiple first prizes.	Pictures of the Janssen Brothers were frequently taken inside their home when they sat in three chairs like the black and white picture above. Over the years, these chairs have become known as "The Famous Chairs." Dr. Lamberton was honored when Charel and Louis Janssen invited him to sit in one of these chairs to discuss their pigeons and racing methods in 1986.


Three Famous Brothers Bred by Antoine & Maria Jacops
Maurice, the beautiful checkered cock in the middle of the three pigeons below, was imported from Antoine Jacops, Vorselaar Belgium in 2004. Since he has been in Oklahoma, he has bred AU Champion #1707, Midnight Rider. Maurice is a cross between the old family of Jacops and the pigeons from legendary Maurice Cassaert. Two full brothers of Maurice are pictured on either side of him. One raced to a 2nd Ace Champion in the long distance races and the other achieved 5th Ace racing in the Antwerp Union. These three brothers clearly demonstrate the unusual prepotency, versatility and consistency of the Jacops pigeons.
