Pigeon Bids Van de Merwe Peter: What a wealth to have a champion breeding couple like "Blue Leo" x "Sister Estrella" at one's disposal

09 Dec 2021

It is a public secret that those who want to continue to shine at the top of international pigeon racing must invest in the strength of their breeding loft. If things go wrong there, you can forget about achieving top results. It is striking that the real champions can have more than one proven breeding pair at their disposal. This is also the case with Peter Van de Merwe. One of those basic couples is without any doubt "Blauwe Leo" x "Sister Estrella".

"Blauwe Leo" B16-6047206 crawled out of the egg in Belgium at the house of Dockx Leo and Gerry. His pedigree was more than worth seeing because his father is "Tarzan" (1st National ace KBDB Fond young birds 2014) and his mother is "Fenna" (won a.o. 4th Nat. Montluçon 11,056b. - 5th Nat. Argenton 22,463b.) A real honour to have such top pigeons as parents. As a squealer he went to Dordrecht and there he shone with following performances:

1 Duffel 540d.
2 Prov. Arras 12,475d.
4 NPO Pont 12,751d.

Enough to get a box on the breeding loft and there he got "Sister Estrella" as his partner. "Sister Estrella" was a full sister to "Estrella" which shone with 1st National Chateauroux 37,794b. This pairing picked up like the best butter on a big slice of bread

"Blue Leo" x "Sister Estrella" became the parents of:
