Start-up of the pigeons via father

Like many young boys, Peter got into the pigeon sport through his father Winand and his brother Jean when she lived in Lanaken, Limburg. Afterwards, Peter moved to Averbode (1998) and here he focuses on all distances. The pigeons from then still have a contribution to the current top colony that is now under the roof (line 218/03 that won 1st Provincial Gien in 2005 and whose descendants provide excellent offspring).

Afterwards Peter came into contact with Eddy Schroeven who lived nearby and is also a top pigeon fancier, they became best friends and it became more of an exchange project to test more pigeons in the 2 lofts. Especially the contribution of "Zwarte Walter", the ancestor of Schroeven - Hermans, creates fireworks in this colony.

Afterwards, Peter looked for pigeons for the heavier work and through Ronald Lodewijckx he came across the pigeons of Remy Speltdoorn, which brought endurance to his pigeons. Also 2 vouchers from Gerd Schotsmans became super breeders, 100% result and you will see "Oude Gerd" and "Jonge Gerd" appear several times in Peter's top pigeons.

In 2016 he came for the first time at a high national level with superstar “Kenji”, this yearling cock became 1st National Ace pigeon extreme long distance yearlings KBDB 2016. His father was a son of “Oude Gerd” x a hen from Jos Thoné and the mother the "Valenske". She excelled herself with 40th National Valence 6,236 pigeons and 42nd National Barcelona 7,693 pigeons and is a granddaughter “Jonge Gerd” crossed with old strain from Jean Bours and De Clercq – Vervaeren.

Because the “Kenji” was sold at the time, he put some effort into this bloodline to race with endurance with such pedigree. Top hen “De Lichte” is the perfect example of this, she has a record of achievements to tell you that you will notice below and her father is a full brother of “Kenji” who was then coupled to “Pientje”. The latter is a separate story and flew a magnificent palmares herself for the extreme long distance, she was now honored as 6th Olympiad pigeon Cat.E Romania (season 2019-2020) and her daughter "De Lichte" became 4th Olympiad pigeon Cat.E Romania (season 2020-2021). Super class generation after generation.

Here it is mainly the result on the competitions that counts, giving in and flying in all circumstances is the art for Peter. Resting is not really an issue, but of course you get a strong stock of pigeons over the years that can take a beating.
