2019 was another unforgettable season for Wendela Wiersema (Appingedam, NL)

One of the best breeding hens of her generation is without doubt 't Goedje of Rudi De Saer. She laid the foundation for multiple generations of talented birds. This is quite a magnificent dynasty indeed, a bloodline that continues to produce talented new generations.

Pieter Veenstra & his son Gerrit tell you the story about their super pigeon 'Return Flojo 1', 1. Grand average acebird SAMDPR 2018. At this moment they are only pairing her with the best of the best.

Winning races against a large field has become Wilfred Sebens's trademark. To prove his point, he claimed a provincial victory in Chimay against more than 6000 pigeons in 2019.

In 2017 Derek Rooney (UK) bought a daughter of Golden Prince in Gino Clicque's sale on PIPA. Years later she became the mother of First Lady: 1st National Middle Distance KBDB. A great success!

Cape Town International OLR was formed February 2019 and was the brainchild and longtime vision of Race Director Emile Slabber, to one day Host a Summer OLR in the beautiful Cape Town, which is very tourist driven and attractive that time of the year for many visitors from overseas.

The discovery of a golden breeding-hen, forms the basis for topperformances for many and many years. Wonderhen Yelena at Etienne Meirlaen is such a breeding-hen with golden eggs.

After the PIPA Sale of the Year, with "New General" the 2nd most expensive pigeon auctioned online ever ! Kurt Platteeuw gives special thanks...

Just before the Covid 19 pandemie, on 06-07 March 2020 at the Warsaw Plaza Hotel the 1st World Congress of the International Veterinary of Pigeons Association (IVPA) was held, during which the organization's authorities were selected for term of office 2020-2022.

The two-day auction closed on 30th of March, selling all old birds from 2017 and earlier + a group of youngsters of Kurt & Raf Platteeuw. This was a highly anticipated auction with plenty of race winners.

Kurt & Raf Platteeuw have become the face of modern-day pigeon racing. They were able to produce brilliant results and claim important titles at provincial and national level almost uninterruptedly.

PIPA is always striving to improve the user friendliness of its auction platform. The descriptions and the pedigrees of all pigeons in our online auctions are already being translated into Chinese, and we recently introduced a new feature called picture texts.

Kurt and Raf Platteeuw have been setting records season after season. Dominating the pigeon racing competition looks like child's play for this fantastic combination, in part thanks to their highly renowned Platteeuw Cannibal bloodline.
