Cees met een van zijn vele topduiven
He has no reason to complain: he managed to win no less than 14 first prizes in a single season. He was very satisfied with his season and we will take a look back at 2012. We have also included the results of 2011 below, just to give you an idea of the quality of this pigeon loft. We can only conclude that Cees Schroevers knows how to run a successful pigeon family; he has been winning plenty of top prizes in Arnemuiden. Let’s have a look at his best results of 2011 and 2012:

The wonderful lofts of Cees Schroevers
A fancier who wins so many top prizes will inevitably win championship titles as well. Cees was awarded the champion title in several disciplines in 2012:
2012: 14 x first prize 1st Emperor General P.V. de Voorwaarts 1st Regional Champion Middle Distance Young Birds 1st Regional Natour Champion 1st Regional Pigeon Champion Natour 1st Provincial Champion Middle Distance (O.A.) 2nd Provincial Kampioen Middle Distance Young Birds (Nominated + Overall) 2nd Provincial Duifkampioen Midfond jong 4th Provincial Generale asduif 'Amazing star' 4th Regional Champion One Day Long Distance
Cees is on a roll! Of course he wants to maintain the quality of his breed so he purchases new pigeons from time to time. For instance he purchased a cock from the well known Jan Hooymans last year. This cock was bred from a son of Harry x Zus Harry. Cees has now paired him to Dream Lady, one of today’s stars of this loft. She has won three first prizes this season:
Mantes-la-Jolie 1/ 1,481 Argenton 1/ 724 Chateauroux 1/ 214 33x 1:10 11x 1:100 (1%)
Another very promising pair in this loft is Azelio x Drie Vijfjes. This pair has bred the outstanding hen SHARON this season. This young bird from 2012 won for instance a first from Quievrain against 1,585 birds and a first from Breuil-le-Vert against 1,047 birds. She is also a full sister of the winner of a first Orleans against 1,049 pigeons. These are proven breeding pigeons: the Drie Vijfjes is also the dam of the third NPO Tours against 5,483 pigeons and a 6th NPO Orleans against 6,857 pigeons.
