Van de Walle Marc & Franky from Zwalm ( Superstars with long distance pigeons in all areas )

The top colony Marc & Franky Van de Walle from Zwalm in East Flanders race with their long distance pigeons in all areas and they own a few toppers who flew Top 100 National several times. Pure class, what these 2 brothers pull out of their hats and how they have performed super well from middle distance to extreme long distance for several years. Long distance pigeons that are not present at 200 or 300km, they don't like that. Prefer pigeons that do it everywhere and preferably fly TOP NATIONAL. They have the pigeons for it and the quality simply drips from it when you take the best pigeons through your hands here.

In recent decades they have moved all their best pigeons to breeding after 1 or 2 top seasons. Of course this is a loss for your racing team, but in the long term it will certainly pay off. In the last 2 seasons there have already been several top results thanks to the children of the proven top players

Family

We go back to the early 2000s, where it appears that the 2 real basic breeders were born then. BE 02-4412829 “Bonte Wittekodde” and BE 00-4478783 “Zachte Imbrechts” were 2 half brothers of each other and come from “Roden Imbrechts”. This was a top pigeon with the old strain of Germain Imbrecht from Bornival, who raced very well in the long distance in Zwalm. He won a.o. 4th National Brive 16,560 pigeons and was 4th Prov Ace Pigeon Long Distance KBDB. Here immediately came the preference for the heavier work and from this line soon came several toppers.

Bonte Wittekodde" became father of
“BE 09-4292770” Den Bordeaux who excelled in 2011 with 1st National Bordeaux 4,921p.
 => Father of super hen “Anneliesje” Mother of 6 x TOP 100 National
 => Grandfather of “Virginie” 3 x TOP 20 National (z) + 2 x TOP 50 National
“Bordeaux Express” who in turn became the father of several toppers such as “De Libourne” – “Brive Express” – “Top Gun” – “Catalaantje” – “Maxi Express”
“Blue White Obora” became mother of “Monti” and “Strong Ace 41”

For example, you see that the trunk returns to the same line, but that the crossing material succeeds very smoothly against several lines (Rudi Desaer, Carlo Gyselbrecht or M & G Pollin).

Golden Stars in the breeding loft

The breeding loft has several top pigeons that have excelled several times in flying or breeding. But usually one is connected to the other and the Van de Walle strain is one of the heavy work that can shine several times and is a medium-sized pigeon with soft plumes, good muscles and a strong lock.
