Now, a few years later, it is fair to say Thorsten and his son Finn Leon are the top in International one loft racing and even crowned as FCI World Champions in this discipline. No one does better in the most prestigious races in the world!!
“After many years of listing top results in the German programme, with even top 10 National acebirds & Olympiad birds, more and more the interest changed in to one loft race participation,” says Thorsten Daum. “Breeding is my passion and in one loft races all pigeons are treated equally, so the class most make the difference.” And super class pigeons this champion has in his lofts, with the Van Loon and Vandenabeele strain as main bloodlines. “I chose to put my best racers on the breeding lofts and some years later now, this was an excellent choice. My best - ‘Ultimate Lady’, ‘Sexy Lady’ and ‘Miss Adebar’ now produce me winners and breeders of winners around the whole world.”
And that is just an understatement ... In 2008 the story of success started, to never stop again. In that year the confirmation of Daum-qualities in one loft racing came in sight winning a/o
