The oh so successful breeding line of “Sagan” from Patrick Boeckx

The in the meantime worldfamous “Tienverbond” in the province of Antwerp is called by the experts the “championsleague” of the Belgian short distance game. Those who want to shine over here has to perform really strong. Until 2012 it was Heremans-Ceusters and no other but since 2013 two new headliners popped up namely Dirk Van den Bulck and Patrickx Boeckx. Dirk became in the meantime worldfamous with his “Kittel” while Patrick took on worldfame within the international pigeon sport with his ‘Sagan’. Next to good pigeons, there is another thing that Dirk and Patrick have in common and that is that both hate having mass pigeons but go fully for a really hard selection and only the very best can stay on their lofts. Can you believe that Patrick only has a widow cock team of about 8 to 10 pigeons and an equal amount of racing hens since years. The breeding loft is 6 to 8 couples strong and in different rounds about 50 youngsters are being ringed. ‘Quality above quantity’…let that be more than clear. 
Patrick got pigeon sport as breakfast, lunch and supper by his father Achiel, with whom he played in tandem in his birth place Herselt. When he left the parental house and moved direction Vorselaar, he started racing on his own. Who had the pleasure of talking to Patrick will confirm that this man breaths pigeon sport. Nevertheless he decided to stop in 2014. That same year he donated a couple of pigeons to his father, with the promise that he could never take them out. ‘I knew that those two were real pearls, and afterwards I seemed to be right, the bred at my fathers’ directly an ace bird in the club. Also in the next generations they bred champions, as “Tomba La Bomba”, as the cock BE04-6183496 is called, is the grandfather to “Sagan."
As Patricks’ daughter from 2000 to 2012 competed on a high level in equine dressage, he decided to stop in 2004 with the pigeons. It was impossible to combine the two and he wanted to support his daughter fully in her hobby. But the blood is thicker than water and a restart in 2007 was the logic consequence. The pigeons from father Achiel were the base, accomplished with pigeons from Leo Heremans (Vorselaar), François Stuyck (Grobbendonk), Eric Vercammen (Herentals) and the past few years fresh championship material from Dirk Van Den Bulck (Grobbendonk).

Fast, faster, fastest, “Sagan”

The top pigeon at the Boeckx house is off course 1st National Ace bird Short Distance KBDB 2013 “Sagan”. “Sagan” (B12-610835) got with 6 races out of Noyon a coefficient of 1,87 and became with that countries’ best! “Sagan” meets the demands of the master. He has a soft feather…volume without weight…and a palmaris to bow for ! A nice anecdote; after he clocked 5 top prizes he won a race out of Noyon just per 10. He had a crooked pin and a cut in his eye, he probably fought hard in the basket which made that he wasn’t that early. He was being basketed to week after as he needed one more good prize to make it as national ace bird, but ‘Sagan’ mist and this was the sign for Patrick to give him a bit of rest and to wait for the signal of the pigeon himself before he would basket him again. Patrick tells “I fed him during 10 days the known Wal Zoontjes mixture and he came back alive, trained smoothly and came in, just as he did before when he was in shape, very bad on the daily trainings. This was the sign for the fancier to basket him again, "Sagan" didn’t disappoint and raced again 1st on Noyon and won like this the 1st National Ace bird title.
