Jo Bauters pigeons…when strength and intelligence are combined.
26 Oct 2020
Gavere: Aren’t we all looking for that? Pigeons that don’t know the word ‘giving up’. Pigeons who know exactly what is being expected on races from 300km to 800km in a perfect way. Pigeons where ‘racing head’ is just woven into their DNA…well, if we have a good look at the pedigrees of the Bauters pigeons we have to admit that Jo and his wife Mieke have the art of building such a strong strain in their fingers. They know exactly what they are doing !
It all started with “Fabian”: 1e National Poitiers ’14 against 12,377 old birds
Let us go back to the summer of 2014. After Bourges and Chateauroux, Poitiers was the 3rd National greater middle distance race of the season? No less than 12,377 pigeons were at the start and these were being released at 08h30 with a clear blue sky and a north-eastern wind. “On these kind of races class is showing always” is what experts say and they were right as the biggest champion became “Fabian” (B11-4239270). A class full cock that already showed off before his top result out of Poitiers with underneath results:
1 Provincial Bourges ‘012 2,473b.
3 Angerville 305b.
4 Provincial Argenton ‘012 5,548b.
24 National Argenton ‘012 22,384b.
5 Souppes ‘014 151b.
38 Provincial Bourges ‘013 1,791b.
49 Provincial Argenton 3,161b.
55 Provincial Bourges ‘012 2,175b.
160 Provincial Chateauroux ‘013 4,287b.
197 Provincial Montluçon ‘013 3,550b.
311 Provincial Montrichard ‘012 3,796b.
703 Provincial Chateauroux ‘012 4,660b.
And to underline his class even extra…the national victory out of Poitiers was won with an average speed of 1,111.89 m/m. Spicy detail…”Fabian” was the only old pigeons in the race that crossed the speed of 1,100 m/m.
“Noah”… seldom seen breeding class
In those same wonder years of “Fabian” also breeding cock “Noah” excelled. Have a look at the photo of this unique breeding cock, have a look at that strong pigmented eye…this says more than a thousand words.
“Noah” (B10-4103964) can put without blushing underneath breeding references on the table:
Is father to “Fredo” (B14-4017662), winner of 14th Nat. Libourne 3,929b. – 18th Nat. Libourne 3,176b. – 28th Nat. Tulle 6,101b. – 10th prov. Limoges 2,609b. and so on...
Is grandfather to “Ellis” (1st Nat. Ace bird KBDB Long Distance Youngsters)
Is grandfather to “Totti” (1st National Cahors ’12 against 6,356 old birds)
Is grandfather to “Stybar” (6 prizes on 6 national races with a 39th Chateauroux 6,787b. – 24th Bourges 4,064b. – 32nd Argenton 2,733b. and so on...)
And there was “Ellis”: 1st National Ace bird KBDB Long Distance Youngsters 2016
The national ace bird championship KBDB youngsters…maybe one of the most wanted Ace bird titles. A title which brings you in the gallery of the best of the best fanciers from Belgium. An Ace bird title that is being played at the cutting edge and in 2016 it was lady “Ellis” (B16-4076089) that could show off with this KBDB Ace bird title.

1st best youngsters Belgium over 4 national races 2016
1st provincial ace bird LD youngsters KBDB East-Flanders 2016
5th Nat (z) Chateauroux II 5,090b
7th Nat (z) Bourges II 7,821b
7th Nat (z) La Soutteraine II 6.702b
46th Nat (z) Argenton II 7,081b
And…if we have a look at the pedigree of “Ellis” we see that she is a granddaughter to the mentioned above “Fabian” and “Noah” ! In other words, the very best Bauters Jo combined in one superior hen.
Now we are taking it back a bit to the breeding value of “Fabian”, another grandchild from him is “Basso”. Also this cock didn’t have a lot of compassion for his competitors.
“Basso” (B15-4143949) won:
3rd provincial ace bird KBDB LD youngsters ‘15
5th Prov. La Souterraine 2,682b.
22nd Nat. La Souterraine 9,760b.
78th Chateauroux 3,661b.
109th Argenton 4,200b.
“Basso” became father to ao: “Nora” (winner of 2nd Bourges 111b. – 5th Blois 146b. – 9th Bourges 207b. – 227th Chateauroux 4,067b. – 262nd Chateauroux 4,720b.)
“Basso” became grandfather to “Eria” (5th National ace bird KBDB youngsters 2017) and “Vicus” (winner to 55th Nat (z) Chateauroux 6,198b. – 60th Nat (z) Gueret 8,517b. – 223rd Nat. Tulle 5,326b. – 4th Peronne 619b.
“Totti”: 1e National Cahors 2018 against 6,356 old birds
“Totti”… he took care of the 2nd national victory in 4 seasons time at the Bauters’ house. When we have a look at the pedigree we see that ‘Totti’ is a grandson to the mentioned above ‘Noah.
“Totti” (B15-4143932) wasn’t a coincidence as before his national victory he already won:
227th National La Souterraine 9,580b.
252nd National Brive 9,132b.
355th National Limoges 15,789b.
435th National Limoges 9,162b.
“Salvatore” : 1st National Limoges 10,699 year birds (fastest against 20,277 pigeons)
Off to the season of 2019….the known national race out of Limoges for the year birds is on the program. An exact count of 10,699 year birds head for the trip towards Limoges and are being released over there with very good weather and a north-eastern wind. You would go and think that this is the favorit weather for the Bauters pigeons as “Salvatore” won against an average speed of 1,178 m/m and was also the fastest against the entire pack of 20,277 Limoges racers (old and year birds together).
The father to “Salvatore” is “Ellis 81” and this amazing cock is a full brother to the 1st National Ace Bird KBDB LD youngsters “Ellis” or in other words, the fabulous breeding line from “Fabian”!
A few references on other lofts
Nico Fourneau (Moen) bought a voucher and got a hen out of “Poot”. “Poot” is one of the fixed breeders and a full brother to “Fabian”.
Nico bred out of his “Bauters hen” the “B17-3089040” and this guy shined wiht

46th National Limoges ’19 against 13,569b.
52nd National Cahors ’19 against 6,903b.
111th National Brive ’20 against 3,755b.
and so on…
Out of this “Bauters hen”, but now coupled against another cock, Nico bred the “3080316” (206th prov. Argenton 4,647b.) and “3080317” (won 4th prov. Bourges 3,777b. – 57th prov. Chateauroux 3,036b.)
Dries Bombeke (Munte-Merelbeke) is also super satisfied with his “Son Fabian” (B12-4285599).
