06/12/2018 - Forrest Gump - his name will be forever associated with the pigeon loft of Freialdenhofen & Sons, since he has shaped the pedigrees of many of their best pigeons. In fact, he has played a pivotal role in the many successes of this pigeon breed.

05/04/2018 - We were asking ourselves how long it has been since team Freialdenhofen went through a season without claiming a national or international victory. They have a collection of top class racing birds that can really make a difference in the long distance. This pigeon breed is as good as it gets.

14/12/2016 - We had mixed feelings about our upcoming visit to the Freialdenhofen family. The pigeons were doing all right but we were worried about Dirk Freialdenhofen. We had read in an online article that Dirk was in very bad health at the time.

21/12/2015 - We paid another visit to the Freialdenhofen family in Aldenhoven. We would love to visit this loft more often, because we always get a warm welcome here. Unfortunately the town of Aldenhoven is 280 away. We have spent many great afternoons there, having interesting conversations and discussions. And their impressive pigeon collection is definitely worth the drive.

03/07/2015 - They have won again. Who? Heinz-Josef, Dirk and Heiko Freialdenhofen. Their victory was not that much of a surprise, as we have been reporting about this pigeon loft and their impressive achievements on a regular basis. I really enjoy writing about the kind people behind this pigeon loft and their super class pigeons. I still remember my first visit to Aldenhoven, when I got the chance of taking a closer look at their legendary Forrest Gump.

28/12/2014 - I finished my article about the 2013 racing season saying that 2013 had been a highly successful year for Aldenhofen, and that we were looking forward to 2014. Back then we were quite confident that the Freialdenhofen family would have another great year. Perhaps they could aim for an international first prize instead of a national victory this time? There is no doubt that 2014 has been yet another impressive season for them.
