in the merit list of the world\u2019s greatest families of the thoroughbreds of the sky. And like much that is good in Europe, he came from the culture of France. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">Paul Sion, from Tourcoing France, its originator, started in the sport in 1895 and, in due course, set his mark. In fact, what he produced crossed more national boundaries throughout the world and became the source of much joy and reward to countless fanciers. To quote one eminent authority, A. H. Osman, \u201cThis man has won more prizes in one season than many fanciers win in a lifetime\u201d. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">A close friend of Paul Sion and his son Robert was the famous English racer &amp; writer Dr. W.

I must first of all give a slight impression of his magnificent loft installation. <\/i><\/span><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">The building was of four storeys; the ground floor housed his cars, the second floor his grain, baskets and odds and ends of loft equipment; the third was the old bird loft for widowhood and natural racing; and the fourth his young bird lofts. <\/span><\/i><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">Paul Sion was a keen gardener, and was mostly interested in roses and sweet peas; his other interests included Game Cocks, sporting dogs (especially setters) and shooting.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">In later years I got to know M. Sion and his son M. Robert Sion much more intimately and we found many interests in common. I was able to help him with plants, gun-dogs and even game cocks! During my first visit I was able to purchase a good stock pair containing the &#8220;Vieux Gris&#8221; blood &#8211; BCC 87646\/25 and BBH 44284\/26. From the beginning, this pair did well and were grandparents of winners up to Rennes, 545 miles, and Nantes, 608 miles, and 1st Open Dol.<\/span><\/i><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2131\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2131\" style=\"width: 502px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2131\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-1.jpg 502w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-1-300x418.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2131\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robert Sion, Son of Paul.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">After my second visit I bought his No. 1 stock hen, a Blue 605142; she had bred many winners for Paul Sion and she also did well for me. <\/span><\/i><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">Later I purchased a Red Chequer cock &#8220;Admiration&#8221; 605297\/29, when he was a yearling. I selected him and was able to have him only because he had been shot in the leg when returning from his last race and was permanently lame. Paul rightly considered that his racing days were over. &#8220;Admiration&#8221; left at Tourcoing a youngster which was to be Paul Sion\u2019s National winner in a future year from Morceaux. With &#8220;Admiration&#8221; I also bought a Mealy hen, 82288, who was the dam of champion &#8220;Rouge Macot&#8221;.<\/span><\/i><\/p><h6><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Quote-Icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"38\" \/>&#8220;&#8230;<em>Paul Sion considered &#8220;Champion Rousselet&#8221; and &#8220;Champion Rouge Macot&#8221; his two greatest pigeons.

He is sire of several Aces including his best bird in 1934, also of M.

Rousselet&#8221; in type was a perfect pigeon, of medium size, good head and black eyes (rather to my mind a dark shade of blue), beautiful body and wings. He was a Strawberry Mealy. In addition, he was like &#8220;Ch. Epinard&#8221; and other great pigeons, quiet and tame, and easy to work with.

They shine in difficult head winds, and are courageous and reliable. They are also, as Dr. Bricoux and M. Stassart proved, a very reliable cross almost with any strain. <\/span><\/em>In 1946, after the war, and at M. Sion&#8217;s request, I sent him two pairs of my best Sion blood to help him to re-establish his loft. <\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">Paul Sion died in 1947 and his son Robert continued to breed the strain his father had developed for 42 years, obtaining success comparable to that of his father. I have recently heard from his son, M. Robert Sion, that these are now in his loft and I am sure they will give a good account of themselves in future races. I am of the opinion that the son will worthily uphold the name of Sion in the pigeon world.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2133\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-3.jpg 490w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-3-300x429.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">A few notes with reference to the origin of the Sion pigeons and regarding M.

Gris Dugniol&#8217;s (Paris) champion Mealy Cock who won consistently in the long races for ten successive years. This cock,<span style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\">\u201cLe Madrigal\u201d, <\/span>was of the strain of M.

She was later mated to a cock of the blood of Pynen and Delathouwer. From this mating came the famous champion &#8220;Rouge Sion,&#8221; who was a great winner and breeder of winners. <\/span><\/i><\/p><h6><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Quote-Icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"38\" \/>&#8220;&#8230;<em>His successes were phenomenal at all distances and especially when conditions were adverse.

M. Sion never seemed to have a bad breeding season. Some of the birds were above medium size, but all without exception were robust and muscular. <\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">M. Sion was a champion racer and an outstanding breeder, two qualifications which are very seldom got at the same time. On inspecting and handling a pigeon typical of the Sion family I was always impressed by the fact that although the bird looked more than medium size he was seldom heavy and he appeared smaller in the hand.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">On the average the Sions are definitely bigger than the Stassarts or the Bricoux birds. They are good racers and good breeders. M. Sion was also a generous feeder and in his dietary used beans and vetches very largely. Both systems of racing were practised, natural method and widowhood. Success above the average was achieved by both methods; he did exceptionally well with his hens, but I think he preferred the system of widowhood and he practised this method with all the great enthusiasm of the expert. He was one of the greatest exponents of that game.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2137\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-7.jpg 568w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-7-300x370.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2136\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-6.jpg 615w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-6-300x341.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Paul-Sion-6-600x683.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p><p><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">In his training of his youngsters he was an exacting taskmaster. They were thoroughly selected for physical fitness before being subjected to training and all came under starter&#8217;s orders. The Sion strain was very fashionable abroad and was introduced into many of the best lofts, e.g. by M. Stassart, Dr. Bricoux, etc. M. Ernest Duray who won the Pau National in successive years with &#8220;La Plume Blanche de Pau&#8221; was another fancier who set great store by the Sion family. His great winner was three-quarters Bricoux and One-quarter Sion.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">Yes, Paul Sion who was later to be assisted by his son, Robert, truly exceeded (perhaps even) his expectations when after becoming a fancier he adopted Luis Salembier as his teacher, the latter being one of the great French distance pigeoners for over 50 years at that time. Sion admitted in 1935 that he belonged to the Luis Salembier school.<\/span><\/p><h6><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Quote-Icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"38\" \/>&#8220;&#8230;When once asked what were the requirements for success in long distance and marathon racing Paul Sion replied \u2013 <em>\u201cstrain and constitution\u201d<\/em>.&#8221;<\/h6><p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">Upon following the advice of his mentor, Sion obtained the best of distance bloodlines including representatives of the old Verviers strain and for decades cultivated what he referred to as his old Gris (grey) strain. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\">When once asked what were the requirements for success in long distance and marathon racing Paul Sion replied \u2013 <i>\u201cstrain and constitution\u201d<\/i>.
