06 Jan 2021

The last days of the fantastic auction of the colony from Frans & Gert Rondags are up. Week after week we were astonished ourselves of the amazing results that were set overhere on both the short distance races, the middle distance races and even on the National races they did superb. We know which kind of top class is present on these lofts and announce with a lot of proudness this topper of an auction. All racing pigeons from 2017 and 2018 that raced in the season of 2020 are in this online auction without keeping a single pigeon for their own breeding loft. Presenting such results week after week is only for the greatest. 

The family Rondags has in Europe, the States and in the far East a long list of references from fanciers that did really well with their pigeons. The best racing pigeons of the past years from this colony will be offered in this unique auction. Frans is very strict in a matter of selection and a pigeon that isn’t good enough for him will never be sold. 

Just repeating once more that now Thursday 07/01/2021 at 14h00 the 1st part ends and the 2nd part at 14h30.

From the beginning on always at the top 

With a fantastic past when Frans raced together with his father Laurent, they were the guys to beat on the short distance races. Who doesn’t know super pigeon ‘Tom’ “BE 04-5136212” , a topper that was maybe the best pigeon of Belgium in those days with 16x 1st prize. Now 16 years later, ‘Tom’ is still the red wire trough the colony. He was being crossed in especially with the strain of ‘Sprint’ Albert Marcelis with his 24x 1st prizes, or gold x gold coupled to each other. 

In 2010 they took a restart after the passing away of father Laurent on the current lofts in Limburg. Quiet quickly Frans new that he had to get his old strain back at his friends and especially Paul Huls had a big influence in these new top pigeons. This is also how Frans & Gert got the strain of Leo Heremans, the world famous “Bolt” who was coupled to “Dochter Tom” and out of this couple “BE 12-5164535” Mister Bolt was born. This one grew out to be a superior breeder. 

 “Mister Bolt” is being presented underneath extensively, admire this pedigree of National, Provincial and Olympiad pigeons that come out of this family.
