(19/05/2013) Conditie: zichtbare kenmerken
De conditie bepalen is wel een van de moeilijkste punten in de duivensport en het is wel zo, dat we het allemaal weten van zodra een duif met meer of minder succes een vlucht heeft afgewerkt.

(18/04/2013) Gezonde jonge duiven: de toekomst van ieder hok
Voor tal van liefhebbers zit het kweekseizoen er al op. Ze hebben alles vroeg bijeen gezet en speenden de jongen voor eigen gebruik. Anderen zijn niet zo haastig, kunnen zichzelf in toom houden en bewijzen daarmee een grote dienst aan hun duifjes.

(14/02/2013) Water + ???? ... Deel I
Water, onontbeerlijk voor het in stand houden van het leven op aarde. Wat in de duivensport een beetje misgroeid is, is het idee dat de drinkpot wel af en toe (of altijd) een kleurtje moet krijgen. Honderden producten zijn op de markt verkrijgbaar. In drie delen bespreken we de natuurlijke producten die al dan niet een positieve invloed hebben op de gezondheid of prestaties.

Many fanciers are convinced that they should keep their pigeons as close to their natural habitat as possible to allow them to breed strong and healthy pigeons.

(26/12/2012) Youngsters bred in winter: can they become successful old birds?
We have been discussing this topic in previous articles and we return to the subject because we hear the following question a lot: is it true that youngsters bred in winter will lose their value later on; no matter how successful they were in their year of birth?

(14/12/2012) Things were a lot different around 1900 but was it better?
Our ideas about pigeon fancying have changed a lot compared to the year 1900. At the same time some things are still exactly the same as back then. It seems that people had already discovered some important truths about pigeons in the early 1900s.

(01/12/2012) Things to consider in winter
This is about sparing your pigeons. In recent years fewer and fewer fanciers would spare their pigeons outside the season. However, more and more fanciers agree that you should not put too much strain on your young team of racers, but why is that?

(28/11/2012) What is a late youngster and are they useful?
A late youngster is basically a youngster that was born after the racing season. We could say that any pigeon born after 15 July is considered a late or after season young bird.

We have a set of basic rules in pigeon racing that cannot be stressed enough. Every time you bring up the subject people will say: “That’s old news, I already knew that!”

(11/10/2012) The best pigeons now and in the past
About a hundred years ago (not two hundred years) we already had some pigeons that performed very well. They would in fact cover the distance between Bordeaux and Anwerp as fast as a pigeon could do today.

(30/09/2012) Selection methods: performance-based selection - part IV
Some time ago I was reading an interesting article about the selection of race horses based on their performance. Most fanciers select their pigeons on the basis of their performance as well. Since pigeons are often called the race horses of the sky I would like to further discuss the possibilities of a performance-based selection method for your pigeons.

(29/09/2012) The more you select the more you win!
Making a selection in your loft comes down to selecting the birds that would form the strongest team for the racing season. A strict selection is important to have a good breed in the future. It helps you to find the good breeders in your loft who breed the best young birds, of which the value increases year after year.
