Tandem Haese & Son from Zoutleeuw win the Barcelona Champagne Competition - 2009
Sunday, July 12, 2009. I finally found time for the trip to Zoutleeuw thereby my promise to the forum instead. Left in Mariakerke (near Ghent) I arrived a half hour later by the sympathetic tandem Haese & Son ....

Ludo .... consisting of father, son Kurt and certainly not to forget wife Marina who is responsible for the care as men to work. She is a really welingelichte sources Pietje-precise and daughter of the late Emile Kabergs, in tandem with her brother Marina Jean-Luc in'93 National Barcelona won, she has love for the pigeons certainly not foreign.

Structure
The base of the pen was made with pigeons of Wim Muller and directly from the topduiven as Willem II (10th nat. Perpignan) Madonna II (26th nat. Barcelona), Porsche911 (eg. 8 ° and 8 ° Nat Perpignan Nat Pau) and Prima Donna (eg. 90 ° Nat. 137 ° Nat Perpignan and Barcelona). It is also a hen Jean Hausoul very important in the stem formation. This is a real breeding mother because she is mother of, among others. Elsje010, Lucifer, King Rhoney and Kevin, who all knew to excel in Barcelona. She also runs through Lucifer grandmother of the winner of our contest.

This basis they still try through family culture as pure as possible and to fly crosses are made with other pigeons pigeons playing good friends such as Jean Pierre Bogaerts, Jean-Luc Kabergs, Eric HERBOTS, Marcel Monette and Hugo Celis.
Recently the 50th anniversary of Father Ludo 2 boy bought from Rivaldo from Etienne Devos. He had other 2 ° National Asduif Heavy Fond KBDB 2005. This contribution is still too early for there is already something to say, but we are convinced that this will succeed.

Investing in topduiven them is the shortest road to success and I can not but them is right.
Incidentally was also the inkruisen of dagfondduiven for heavy fond raised. When it became clear that we do not believe. Some seasons (read: less hard ones) you are probably in favor, but with a Soustons and Barcelona this year may also happen that you regularly empty loft. It may not be every 5 years to restart.

Total widowhood
There will be Zoutleeuw played with both sexes. In recent years, winning the hens more and more important (this is a general trend). In the beginning was to nest games, now on total widowhood.
Hens, according to Kurt the great advantage of being less energy wasted in the basket, as opposed to macho behavior of widowers. If hens can even rise to the discharge sites, which is obviously a big advantage.
The pigeons are due to busy professional circumstances and the fact that they wish mom not too taxing, ready steaming for 2 weekends per year, for the flights Barcelona and Soustons Year Pigeons and Perpignan other. All the rest is pure preparation. When Ludo father retired, it may happen that all flights are played back.
The birds nest for the season (this year was the link on April 12) and then in subsequent steps opgeleerd: 2 x 100 km, 2 x 200 km, 2 x 370 km, a week at home, Chateau Roux (slightly more than 500km) and then at home to Barcelona. Regularly, the pigeons piecemeal during this period and by Clement Matterne. It is that he has more than 1,000 birds from the region is on the road. I could not leave a special word of thanks to him directly.
Cocks and hens seen each other in the preparation only home. This can range from several hours until the next day in bad expired flights. The pigeons must be motivated. From Chateauroux they are also the basketing to see that the "fool in the head" well tempered for basketing Barcelona is at a distance. Thus, no more wasted unnecessary forces.

Nutrition and care
As far as nutrition is concerned, the scheme of Versele applied. The basic mixture is 50/50 of Depure Plus (purification) and Champion Plus (flight) supplemented with Corn-Carotene, Corn-Levu and Herba-Corn. These are grain-based foods from plants, herbs and beer yeast.
Because the hens during the day locked up in containers are first unloaded to drink and little to eat. Below are outside their training or lapvlucht.
Because they have eaten something to train them better but they are still within easy because the quantity was limited.
After the training continues to eat normally for 30 minutes at the loft, and the back is removed until the next meal.
The last 10 days before the flights, the main base enriched with a mixture of energy-rich seeds (mix of Versele and Vanrobaeys) and comes after the meal even more corn in the voederpot the cribbs, red Bordeaux and popcorn. It is also the case that the large "horse tooth" corn fed because they are in the basket and they are best for hand to get used to.
Peanuts are not given to the pigeons, "this is food for monkeys" dixit Marina. There was general laughter when I said I would like lust peanuts ...

Medical fate in the hands of the young veterinarian Karlovice Van Rompaey given (already winner of national Bourges). His vision is clear: the pigeons no medication if they have nothing. The only correct way I think. Only the mandatory paramyxovirus-inoculation, a smallpox-inoculation for the link (veerfollikel method) and a para-fever inoculation (on the dry breeding) are standard on the menu here.
Support drops are frequently used after the flights. This is not medication. After really bad flights can sometimes happen that a product based on antibiotics is gedruppeld.
Karlovice its product line in Zoutleeuw eagerly used. These are for example vitamins, amino acids, brewer's yeast, oil and eye drops. Furthermore, the pigeons of course, plenty of grit, piksteen and seaweed.

Hygiene is a hobbyhorse of Marina. The watering pots are disinfected every day and only if they are dry put back in the hutch. The trough after each meal turned to a possible contamination by mice to prevent. During the preparation flights we opt to pay full baskets and our pigeons together in cages. You can infections and related tax treatment to a minimum.

Since we only 2 weekends a year can really play, we must see that we really top flight can be. We therefore leave nothing to chance.
After the season, the pigeons a youngster and after further foulbrood. They stay together until after the major moulting and flying regularly once.

Juliana, the champagne-hen
This 2-year net hen performance as the faster of the pen attached to land. This is no easy task against flapper as Nouwen-Paesen, Deweerdt & Sons, Kabergs & Son, Family Gyselbrecht, Gebr. Brugmann and Frederik Leliaert
The red hen net is rather small building, very soft and with a striking view. She has certainly not strangers when you are watching her pedigree.
Her father is Lucifer, a former topvlieger on their own pens. He flew in the other 52 ° Nat Barcelona in 2003 and the 58 ° Nat Barcelona in 2005.
He comes along side a father brother zuskoppeling x directly from the super torque Eijerkamp-Muller (including parents of WillemII to 10 ° Nat Perpignan, 58 ° Nat Perpignan and 59 ° Nat Perpignan on his record it).
The mother of Lucifer is the topduivin Jean Hausoul we discussed in "building". She is a daughter of the 45 ° Nat Barcelona and a granddaughter of the Soudax which include. A 5 ° Nat Soustons and 5 ° Nat Dax on his asset.

The mother of Juliana is a direct Muller-hen. She is a daughter of the Prima Donna (flying 90 ° and 137 ° Nat Perpignan Nat. Barcelona) and granddaughter of Porsche911 (including flies. 8 ° and 8 ° Nat Perpignan Nat Pau).
Benefit from good? Be sure there according to my hosts and lady. It is still difficult enough to make some super to grow.

That this performance is no coincidence shows its result on the first St Vincent last year. When she obtained a 35th place against 2259 pigeons Zone C (235 ° to 8393 National pigeons).
This year Barcelona is 2 ° Local, Provincial 5 °, 28 ° and 53 ° National International (to more than 27,000 pigeons !!!).

Father and mother of the winner.

The overall results of 2009 Barcelona looks to 3 real early birds definitely not bad. In OBRAFO Tienen play 2, 22, 24, 59, 131, 159, 200, 231 and 252 against 905 pigeons. Only the price rate this year was slightly better informed me honest. We can not always have everything in life: in 2008 we played 16 prizes of 27 pigeons, but when there was no real kopduif and so will always find something ...
Father Ludo is not inclined to stop all the hen. This year she flies except accidents still Perpignan. As a (very cautiously expressed by Ludo, even almost a whisper) it again in the Top100 could fly, it will possibly have to go farming. Topduiven sell them Zoutleeuw do not in principle. "You can for the money you have will not get another go, so why should we do" says Ludo. "Fruit you can sell, the tree is not."

Rigorous selection
On the basis of the spectacular flight of the colony is a strict but fair selection. The basket is the only thing that counts here. Can not ...
Exceptions are only made for pigeons that are not tightly closed, pigeons which you can push the rear wing, which lean pigeons coming home from a flight and not within the 3 days show signs of recovery and pigeons that noise in the light simultaneously pushing on sternum and back. That is the view of the basket even for waiting. Barcelona 2009 was an ideal selection in accordance with Kurt: "pigeons over the last years both physical and health once a hitch had been no more come home."

The Yearlings do here without exception on the first night flight from Soustons (formerly St Vincent-I). However, it is returned to all pigeons anyway x 2 a night to give. Pigeons that mooi class by the first test, get a ticket for the next season. Lower again make the last eight and can thus secure their place. In 2008, however, was the first St Vincent-lighter (where Juliana flew top so they can therefore lighter and heavier weather) and would require too many pigeons are remaining. Hence, only a 10-tal kites could stay home and rest to the body had.

Tweejaarsen and fly over Barcelona and Perpignan. Per 4-tal price on a flight is really the minimum to not be selected to be. It is hoped in the future, more stringent selection. This would also mean that the pen in the width has become even stronger.

There are various forums rather discussions on whether to save the pigeons. We do no longer participate. Recently we had a ploegje pigeons where we really tried to not to burn prematurely. There is nothing of this ploegje come. We are called precious time lost. We do this so no more. Please note, that is not to say that we broke the pigeons to play. A good sound that you can by Ludo is not broken play.

Kites can only place on the breeding loft decorate some good times at 10-tal to fly to the intended flight or course the real top flight (for example, a top 10 place, just like Christmas Peire does).

Dreams for the future
If we really go to the dreams we are not different from all other heavy fond lovers I think. The classic course Barcelona win with dot above noted.
We still look to the objectives we set ourselves than that each year our prices to continue to play and especially Top100 sites to achieve at national level. The Europe-cup (to win by the fans who first inspired vlugst 10 pigeons on klokt Barcelona) is a not to be missed price.

Besides this possible prices for our primary gain is that we pigeon racing family can continue practicing. Secondly, we have many social satisfaction in the camaraderie with fellow herdsman. We give each other here in the area the light in the eyes and sincerely congratulate anyone when you find here or there can play a nice price. This applies both to the people of the speed, middle distance and further flights. In that respect, we can project "Loft24" quote. This is a group of friends under this name also reflects one loft races around the world.

Tips for beginners
Do not be too quickly discouraged by the men with the big basket and luxury pens
Luctor et Emergo (this is the favorite saying of Kurt and to say "I struggle and overcome"). Pigeon racing practice will always trial and error to happen. The art is always right to scratching and more to come.
Do not crazy prices to pigeons. The best is to foster our couples to buy a late round of eggs from the widowers of playing a good milker from near hatching. After the season, the selection has already happened that the average quality is higher than in the spring. It will thus be a little more patience, but if you have perseverance and some luck to get there.
Focus not only on performance but ga a sensible way around and enjoy your pigeons especially the friendship of the pigeons and your fellow herdsman.
Look is backward. Try to read and much to continue. Change not to blow oats system. The pigeons can not adjust to this and if you never get the maximum out of your colony.

Golden framework
That they Haese & Son already know what this proves is kopvliegen list of absolute topprijzen. Remember that they are only a few years to really strain to the key for the heavy fond. I believe that the colony is a large margin progression.

4 ° National Bordeaux'99
43 ° National Perpignan'02
52 ° National Barcelona'03
58 ° National Barcelona'05
97 ° National Perpignan'04
35 ° C Zone St-Vincent'08
28 ° National Barcelona'09
This was spiced with several championship titles and asduiven.

Final
I was (for my first report ever) visited driven milker that pigeon racing practice for the love of sport and social event once remember. I wish to thank Marina mama for the care (and the delicious cake) and Kurt and Ludo for the frank answer my questions. Leave the bottle but for the pop topduivinnetje Juliana or other valves in Perpignan undoubtedly will make a feast.
In the outside I was still in the sleeve drawn by son Kurt: "Do not forget the importance of state mummy hey, without her help it would be a lot harder going. Well Kurt, I think I request you to this well (and quite rightly) have been accepted.
The pen for the hens

Left the loft for the boy, right hens

Kurt en familie een heel dikke proficiat.
Geniet van de godendrank jullie hebben hem afgelijnd gewonnen en dubbel verdiend.
