The DVH & Sons Gamefarm is owned by famous Hinlo Family from
Bacolod City, located at Bagong Silang, Salvador San Benedicto in Negros
Occidental. The gamefarm is like a forest park with spectacular view around the
place. The water falls added the scenic aura, the structures are very organized
and a wide area to explore. Raising chickens is very suitable for this place
because of its fresh air and good weather condition.
DVH & Sons is producing multitude of breeds every season. The
bloodlines came from Billy Abbot and Jimmy East which consists of Kelso, Dan
Grey, Roundhead and many others. But their signature bloodline is Black,
favorite by Danilo Hinlo. He acquired this Black bloodline from a small time
breeder who told him that it came from Gary Gulliam. He favored this bloodline
because of its good performance in the cockpit arena. Danilo developed the
Blacks that he acquired; he infused it Hatches and Roundhead. He was not wrong
with his decision because this bloodline gave him a lot of championships.
Dante Hinlo is like any other cockers who choose their warriors in
cockpit arena. He actually based his choice on weight and body conformation of
the chicken; a medium body built. He truly believed in luck besides proper
management and conditioning in cockfighting because every cocker nowadays is
selecting good chicken to be warriors. So, proper conditioning and luck are the
two factors he believed in.
The Hinlo Family is famous and already a trademark in Negros, the
whole of the Philippines. There are many cockfighters and breeders who are
aiming to acquire their bloodlines because they made a lot of good records in
derbies. Once, they became a Breeder of the Year in Negros Gamefowl
Breeders Association (NGBA).
The late Danilo Hinlo was
the one who started to make a prestige to their family and built their farm.
But when he died, his son Dante Hinlo inherited the farm. But of course, when
his father was still alive; they were back to back every time there was a
derby. Dante really admired his father because it taught him a lot in many
aspects from chicken breeding to cockfighting. The good thing also, the son of
Dante named Paul has also an interest in chicken. This is not surprising
anymore because he has been exposed at an early age in cockfighting. So, the
tradition of family Hinlo will continue in the future.
The father of Dante Hinlo was the one who started
the prestige of the family. But when he died, Dante inherited the farm. His
memories still lingered on to Dante, when he and his father were back to back
every time there was a derby. He admired his father because of his teaching in
cockfighting industry and also the good aspects of breeding chickens. His son,
Paul Hinlo has an interest in chickens too because of his exposure to chickens
during his growing years. So, the tradition lives on for Hinlo Family.
