For ten years, I have been Scott’s race secretary at Club, Combine, Concourse, and Federation levels. All my experiences with Scott have been positive and I feel I know him very well. I know him as a great competitor; I know he has a passion for birds in his heart, and I know he breeds a lot of Champion Birds.

Scott has bred ten “AU Elite Registered Champions” and there are others that are real close. All of the points were earned from old birds. He has also accumulated many AU and Digest bird and loft awards. To quote Scott, “The birds that win the one hundred can also win the three, four, five, and six hundred, or they are not kept.” Scott knows how to breed birds that win at all the distances of short, middle, and long.

For the past ten years, The Dakota Loft has produced the top old bird race results in The Twin Cities area as well as in the Midwest National Classic Race. In the 400 mile Topeka Classic, (THE TRUE MINNESOTA STATE RACE) Dakota Loft placed in the top five birds in back to back years in the MN 400 mile class and did the same thing in the overall class.

2006 - 119 lofts/1441 birds and 2007 - 102 lofts/1141 birds
