The Sangers pigeons were phenomenal in 2018, much to the despair of their opponents. Marcel was able to create a tough to beat pigeon breed, based around his famous Super Breeder bloodline, combined with the best of Van Den Bulck and Lambrechts. It was the key to some sensational results.

Six races, that was all the fantastic Breavehart Jr needed to convince Guy Van der Auwera of his great talents. This bird claimed several top results, including a semi-provincial victory from Ecouen, before being promptly transferred to the breeding loft.
