Millennium Pair, Golden Pair and Olympic Millenium make Embregts-Theunis a unique combination
Peter Theunis has always been blessed as a fancier with exceptional breeders, of which children and grandchildren shine for generations on end from the short distance to the long distance races. Descendants of the Rocket and Witbuik lines were especially successful for Peter. Later, with Super Rossi another key breeder rose. Currently, the offspring of BE14-6074354 Mister Millennium x NL15-3535059 Millennium (Millenniumkoppel) are amongst the stars which Peter relies on. Moreover, NL17-3714984 Olympic Millenium (dochter Millenniumkoppel), 1st Ace Pigeon PIPA-ranking 2017, 2nd Ace Pigeon PIPA-ranking 2018 and Olympiad pigeon also plays an important role in the most recent successes. Lastly, Golden Pair which consists of NL18-1191415 Grey Milenium (zoon Millenniumkoppel) and NL17-3715065 Golden Ace have bred children and grandchildren which have proven themselves on a national level. Through several of their results we further introduce Peter's stock pigeons;

The old Witbuik lines shine at J & S Timmermans
It is no secret that J & S Timmermans from Donkerbroek has found its place amongst the national top thanks to the Embrengts-Theunis pigeons. In 2021, Jan puts the old Witbuik lines in the spotlight. He wins the Grand Prix race from Reims against 6769 pigeons in Afdeling 11 with a grandchild of NL08-1650231 Young Witbuik. This youngster, NL21-4225287 Witbuiks Best, not only took the victory but was also crowned 4th National Ace Pigeon Fondspiegel. With a 15th Etternach against 8921 pigeons, Witbuiks Best managed another top result and flew to the top of the charts in Afdeling 11. Witbuiks Best was transferred to the breeding lofts of Peter Theunis after the season ended.
Steady third place
Peter Theunis was working his way up the ranks as Best Fancier of The Netherlands in the competition WHZB-TBOTB. After his third place in 2020 he aimed for a higher podium spot in 2021. His motivation and goals were high, the signs of a true sportsman. There are, however, very few podium spots. As Best Fancier he was beaten by two fellow fanciers. Although, in the category Best Young bird of The Netherlands, he took the top podium spot. Well deserved!
