Dutch sprint-and-middle-distance bloodline prized for explosive early speed, athletic build, and self-sufficient orientation. SVR birds bridge the gap between pure sprint lines and middle-distance work — fast off the basket and reliable over 200–400 miles.
The SVR (Sander Van Riel) strain originated in the Netherlands and earned its reputation by combining the raw speed of sprint lines with the steadiness middle-distance racing demands. SVR birds are compact, muscular, and bred for quick basket-to-loft performance with consistent finishes at the top of the sheet.
Villa's Family Loft brought SVR foundation birds into the loft specifically to complement our existing Dijkstra sprint stock and our middle-distance Janssen line. SVR birds give our breeding program flexible speed — usable for short fast races and dependable enough to extend into middle-distance events.
Each SVR bird in our program is sold with a full 3-generation pedigree documenting sire, dam, and grandparents. We do not stock untraced birds; every SVR in our catalog is traceable through our online pedigree database.
