Sadly, Doubloon was lost to a Cooper's hawk that crashed through a glass window of my loft. The hawk reached down through the wire top of an individual breeding pen and pulled Doubloon right off of the nest he wouldn't leave. I know this because the eggs Doubloon was sitting were crushed on his breast when I found him. He never left his eggs in an attempt to save himself.

I sent Mike Ganus an email about the three Creator males and a Mattens male that he put up in the 2008 iPigeon Christmas auction and this was his immediate email response,

"Joe~!! Buy the (966) Male, he is a Super Super Bird~!! You will be 150% Satisfied~!!!!!!

Take Care~!! Mike"

I just had to take the advice from the master, so 966, aka Doubloon, is here at Turned Luck Loft and will be one of my Creator family foundation males.

I had trouble with a name for 966 and I thought, "What else would you find in a treasure chest besides diamonds? Of course gold, silver, jewels, etc. Then it hit me; pirates, buried treasures and Spanish doubloons!!"

Doubloon, GFL 08-966 is a line-bred half brother to 1st National Ace Young Bird Of All Holland, Diamond Ring!! He is a son of her grandfather, Treasure Chest mated to her mother, Diamond Maker. Doubloon is a beautiful blue male with rich red eyes that have a thin pearl ring around the pupils. He is a strong perfect bodied male, medium in size with a tight one pin tail. Quoted from Mike Ganus, "He is a Super Nice Bird~!!"

Mike said, "So what I did to build up Diamond Ring blood is mate the grandfather to Diamond Ring back to her mother who is Diamond Maker!! Here is your chance to jump up in 2009 race results with a Big Impact Breeding Male~~!! I’m Sure~!! "

Mike said he made several trips to Holland just to purchase the very best Wout Spierings had and it paid off!! The Creator family win at all distances and they're also very beautiful to the eye and in the hand.
