The report we published last week showed the efficient qualities of the Thibaut-Boons pigeons, a loft rich of numerous national ace pigeons as well as some pigeons able to shine on the national races. But what is even more remarkable is how the Thibaut-Boons pigeons allowed several other fanciers to book the same kind of results, once again with national ace pigeons and early prizes on the national races. We made a small balance of the main references booked in various lofts thanks to the Thibaut-Boons pigeons:
