The pigeons of Gevaert-Lannoo have been on a winning streak this summer, winning first prizes in the club on a weekly basis. They have obviously won quite a number of provincial, zonal and national top prizes as well, with an impressive 2 first and 3 second provincial prizes in July alone. Click here to reread the report that we published in July. They have continued to win first prizes in the club, and the team won their third provincial first prize of 2016 in Chateauroux III with the old birds.

Like we said, the small racing team of Gevaert-Lannoo houses an impressive number of first prize winners and cracks. These include such top class racing birds as Perle, Prince 26, Alonsa, Rambo Junior, Spencer, and many others. Another prominent member of the team is Princess 95, an exceptional hen that is likely to win a top prize in the provincial ace pigeon championships middle distance later on.
This is a dream team founded on a group of breeders with a proven record. This pigeon family stems from nothing but champions!
