Nene
Abello is one of the most popular breeders in the Philippines. From now and
then, we always hear his name. He is known for his Sweater bloodlines. The
Sweater named derived from the American breeder no other than Sweater
McGuiness. Mr. Sweater was a contemporary of Harold Brown, Duke Hulsey and Ray
Hoskins.
According
to the site of Nene Abello, he acquired his bloodlines from Harold Brown and
Carol NeSmith during late 80’s. During that time the two legends were partners
and denominating the major derbies around the United States. But when their partnership
was ended, Nene already acquired bloodlines from them which are Sweater families.
He thought that those chickens could compete and more suitable in the
Philippines. And he was right in his perception.
The
Sweaters came from Carol NeSmith while he acquired Green Legged side from
Harold Brown. Aside from that, Nene also was a friend of Ray Alexander who had
Roundhead chickens. Then, he crossed it with the Sweaters that he acquired and
the result was very impressive and spectacular. After that, he realized that he
need to make another signature bloodline because as day goes by the competition
become harder and harder. He needs to survive to maintain his reputation as a
breeder.
Nene
also bred Hatches by Mr. Brown. He told that when his brother and son were
living in the Dallas, Forth Worth area he always visiting Ray Hoskins. He acquired
Yellow-Legged bloodlines and crossed it to his other lines. Because of his
ability, he won in major derbies using the Sweater bloodlines. He became a
champion in World Slasher Cup in 1995 and 1998 and became a runner up also in
that prestige derby. He also became a champion in Candelaria Derby in 2002 and
2003. Now because he is a prominent breeder, he has many buyers not only people
from the Philippines but also in the other part of the world like Malaysia, Mexico,
etc.
