Jules & Yves Engels, are keeping the name ‘Engels’ up high with amazing results…
06 Apr 2021
What is there to right about the strain Engels must you think. Well, very very much, as they keep on shaking top pigeons out of their sleeves.
What the history of the Engels pigeons is concerned from grandfather Flor, to the brother Jos & Jules, until now the new father-son tandem Jules & Yves, there’s nothing new to tell. Everybody knows this story by now. Who never heard of ‘De Genopte’, ‘Den Argenton’, ‘De Limoges’, the worldfamous ‘178’ and ‘Den As’,… and continue on like that for a while. All ace birds, national and national zone winners who didn’t only put amazing results on paper but also got the amazing genes to give it to their sons and daughters, their grandsons and granddaughters…
2020 was another top season
When you succeed to have underneath top pigeons on your loft in one season than I think you’re still doing more than well and that you can count yourself amongst the top lofts of this country.
In 2020 they won (only top 20, otherwise the list would become too long)
