Goirle
In an historical perspective there have always been many great champions in Goirle and neighbouring villages. So Louis didn’t have to go far to obtain quality pigeons: in his own neighbourhood he got pigeons from Jan Verhoeven & son, Harry Verhoeven, Verhagen van Gorp and Christ vd Pol. In addition to these pigeons he purchased some birds from Ad Sas, who lived 5 miles from Goirle in Poppel, Belgium. Ad Sas had the right kind of racing birds in this loft from the world famous Louis van Loon, Poppel. Louis Stabel bought 28 youngsters from Ad Sas and one of them became a superbreeder. Descendants of this hen have won 5 National-races. 
With pigeons from the above fanciers Louis and Eugene have been building a strong breeding fundament. Later on the they crossed their own base with pigeons from many local fanciers, so it is impossible to mention them al. Every year they buy some pigeons, but never named pigeons only from good racers and than from their best racers/lines. Every purchased pigeon will be tested in the races first. When they prove to be good racers they are crossed with their own pigeons. Occasionally they transfer new pigeons direct to the breeding loft.
Also the build is important. Louis and Eugene like pear-shaped pigeons with eyes with a good radiation. This is all a matter of intuition and therefore cannot be explicitly described. It is also important that the pigeons are always in a good shape and look very nice. Louis is asked frequently to judge other fanciers pigeons, he will always be honest and explicit about this opinion and thoughts. About their success there are very clear: there are no secrets, you must put a lot effort in your colony and think logical. Never do things impulsive!

The colony
Louis and Eugene are real programme-racers, and they take part in every program race from 100-1000 km. In their area that means 14 short/middle distance races, 5 long distance races, 5 marathon races, 10 youngster races, 5 late tour races. To be able to take part in all races they have 20 couple of breeders, 29 widowhood cocks and their hens, 80-85 widowhood hens with 32 cocks and a 9 couples for the marathon. They don’t race with the hens from the widowers. Also with the cocks from the widowhood hens they don’t race. They breed 200 youngsters. For each discipline there is a separate  loft. Breeding season starts around the 26th of November by pairing the breeders and around 15 January they pair all their racing pigeons including the overnight pigeons. From the breeders they place the 2nd round of eggs under their racers, so they have in a short time 3 rounds of their breeders. The breeders bring up the 1st and 3rd round youngsters themselves. When the youngsters from the racers are 18 days old they place the youngsters in their bowl on the floor and the cocks feed the youngsters. The hens go into a run till they go to the widowhood lofts.
