New acquisitions fot the breeeding Loft in 2024:

(27th of Januar 2023)

In the coming years I want to focus more on the long distance again. And that is not only the one-day long distance, but also the extreme long distance races. I would like to race marathon with morning liberation, like the ZLU races, but most of these races are too far. It's not often that it happens that you have a chance here in the north to catch a very early one. In my own loft I do have a number of pigeons that can handle the heavy long distance work on the extreme long distances. Still, I have the feeling that something more is needed for the breadth and that is why I have made a number of investments in the last month. In 2004 I wrote on my website that I thought the Jellema pigeons were the best pigeons for the extreme long distance races. I already had them in my lofts then and now today I think that everyone agrees with that. In 2003 I bought a son of "De Donkere Kweker" (great-grandfather "Kleine Jade"), who became father of "Nightrider" in 2006: 1st NPO Perigueux (983 km), 2nd NPO Bergerac (1023 km) and 2nd International Ace Pigeon Marathon 2008. You can still find these pigeons in my stock and of course my own old basis from the 70s and 80s is still there, which is partly the same (Beerda pigeons) as that of Jelle Jellema. Reason enough not to look too far from home and especially to purchase pigeons directly from Jelle, or via his father Ultsje, and from Hugo Batenburg. From "New Laureaat" (1st Int. Barcelona) x "Kleine Jade" (1st Int. Barcelona) there will soon be a cock and a hen here (see photos below). Both already at an older age, but with a bit of luck I can breed with them for another 2 to 3 years. Also a son of "De Narbonne" (1st Nat. and 2nd Int. Narbonne), a daughter of "Dafne" (3rd Nat. Perpignan), a daughter of "Kleine Rena" (1st Nat. S4 and 1st N.U. Bergerac) and a son of "Angelina" (5x top 100 NPO extreme long distance). In total of "New Laureaat" and "Kleine Jade" 5 grandchildren and an inbred I already had before.

An update on my health. I am now on two third of my immunotherapy treatment. Regular tiredness and headaches, but otherwise few side effects. My last CT scan was this month. The scan showed no tumors, so the results looked good. There is still a long way ahead, but it seems to be moving in the right direction. The breeding season is starting soon and if my health allows it, I want to put the breeding couples together at the beginning of December. There are still a few old ones and a few of my own strain have come back from good friends. Furthermore, a lot of young stuff from 2020/2021, which still has to prove itself as a breeding pigeon. All well built pigeons from my best lines in which I have a lot of confidence. I am convinced that there will be a number of top breeders among them. Below are a number of those still young newcomers in the breeding loft. For more click here.

(27th of April 2022)

The last two months have mainly been recovery from the operation that had taken place in February. The tumors and lymph nodes were removed from my left groin. In the beginning, after the operation, there were still some complications, due to an infection in the wound, which had to be opened again. As a result, the recovery took longer. Full recovery of the left leg will take some time. I am mainly talking about fluid retention and numbness in the thigh. Now, after more than two months, the wound is almost completely closed and the continuation of the treatment can be started. Immunotherapy can therefore be started soon, which should help prevent the cancer (melanoma) from coming back. The immunotherapy is a year, during which I have to have an IV every four weeks. After the operation it was difficult to do everything by myself regarding the pigeons. Fortunately I have friends, who I have known for a long time, who came to clean the lofts every week, so that the lofts looked pico bello again every Saturday. Feeding and watering were still possible. It also worked because I had purchased a number of automatic feeders through Jan Pronk, so that everything went a little easier. And of course it made a huge difference that a large part of the pigeons were sold in January. I am now a few weeks more mobile again and I manage to do everything myself again. The pigeons that are still here are a number of late ones from previous years and the old ones from 2013 and older. In addition, there is a nice group of youngsters. The first group (winter youngsters) bred from the top pigeons that were sold in January and the second group from the oldies and late ones that were left over. There is also a group of pigeons here, which were raced last year, but which Pipa did not find interesting enough to sell. Especially because there are many of them crossbreed and pigeons that have not yet achieved much as youngsters in the past year. Still, I felt sorry to remove them. Most of them are good pigeons in the hand and, even most are crosses, come from good parents. The preparation of the racing season has been kept as simple as possible, also of course forced by the circumstances. I have about 35 pigeons, which I can race at the moment. They are not top pigeons, because these have all been sold. And whether there will be another topper among them, remains to be seen. It is still a young team so you never know. For this year with the old birds: 'Everything is allowed and nothing is necessary'. Last weekend was the start of the new season (181 km). The stormy east wind, which is not too favorable for where I live, promised a difficult overture. However, they came home very quickly. Only a few had a bit of a hard time, but were finally home before the evening on the day of release. The first to arrive was 'De 271'. This beautiful blue white flight hen kept flying around for a while, so that my second pigeon, which landed right away, was clocked first. So my first was 'De 371' and made a speed of 1,295.3 m/m. He is a son of 'Silvian' (out of 'Hugo' x 'Gastorina') and 'Daughter Blue Harry'. In the semi provincial combine I started with the 94th and 100th prize against 3,982 pigeons. From the 20 pigeons that I raced for the semi provincial combine 14 pigeons took their prize (1:3).

A few other references from last weekend's race from Blankenheim I forgot to mention: Pieter Pander wins 1. against 5,364 birds with his NL19-1201532. Pieter got the grandfather from this yearling cock from Albert Timmerman out of his wonder hen 'De 726'. She is a daughter from 'Leonardo' x 'Tinkelbel'. The same grandfather is also the grandfather to the 1. against 19,430 birds (fastest against 36,706 birds) at the loft of Maarten Hakvoort.

(18th of June 2020)

The new season has just started and already the first references are in. Last weekend Team Hooymans UK (John Crehan) wins 2. Wollaston against 4,273 birds. It's a yearling cock, the NL19-1022688. He is a son to 'Ariëlle', a daughter from 'Leonardo' x 'Tinkelbel'. A sister of the 688 was 8. Provinical Ace Long Distance for Team Hooymans NL in 2018. 'Ariëlle' is also mother to 'Marus', winner of 1. International Argenton.

Also last weekend a beautifull cock 'De 111' won for Rink Wijnstra the 2. Blankenheim against 1,256 birds. In 2019, as a yearling, he won already 1. on a long distance race. He is a full brother to 'De 431', in 2019 winner of 3. National Ace Allround, 1. Provincial Ace Long Distance and 6. National Ace Long Distance. Mother to 'De 111' & 'De 431' is a daughter from 'Rocking Blue', base breeder and son to 'Leonardo' x 'Tinkelbel'.

My best youngster in 2019. He is 'New Fausto' a son from 'Fausto' and 'Milla', both two topracers in the past. It was the first year for 'Fausto' and 'Milla' on my breeeding loft and they delivered immediately.

(17th of January 2020)

'Remedy' has been the best long distance pigeon over the past three years on the national one day long distance race in our provincial long distance club (Friese Fond Club) This was on Chateauroux 785 km 2017, Chateauroux 785 km 2018 and Vierzon 733 km 2019. With this performance he becomes Triple Ace One Day Long Distance Chateauroux F.F.C. He is a son of 'Gunnar' x 'Ulla' . 'Gunnar' is a full brother of 'Ravi'. 'Ravi' and 'Ulla' are the parents of 'Majesty' and 'Donkere Ravi'. Thanks to these last two the marathon championship yearlings (extreme long distance) in the our provincial long distance vlucb (F.F.C.) was won in 2019.
