Peter & Gwen Van de Merwe A fixed value in Dutch pigeon racing!

The Van de Merwe pigeons have the art in their wings to perform at an unprecedented high level season after season. Also in 2020 the results were FENOMENAL !

1st NPO Roye 20,199b.
1st NPO Fontenay 17,630b.
1st NPO Pont St. Max 12,240b.
1st NPO Blois 3,212b.

Pont St. Maxence 19,142b.: 2-3-4-5-7-8-9-10-12-16-17-20-21-22-23-26-29-36 etc.

Blois NPO 7,756b. 2-3-21-38-45-46-50 etc. 

Such results do not come out of the blue. The whole thing must click perfectly. The lofts, the system, the fancier and of course the very strong base of the breeding loft. Peter, being the down-to-earth person he is, sees especially the strong breeding base as the key to his success. "If it goes wrong there, you may be such a good fancier... nobody can make a racehorse out of a donkey, so you have to make sure you have racehorses! “

The inexhaustible class of their breeding loft

For years at the top of the Dutch pigeon sport performing very hard... it is only given to a few but Peter succeeds miraculously. His secret "class pigeons"... everything started with those well-known pedigrees such as "Replay", "Gwen", "Amigo", "Replay Jr", "Big John Jr", "Nathalie" etc... Most of these toppers have first shown their capacities on the races and afterwards they excelled on the breeding loft by passing on their flying capacities to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation. When we asked Peter about his breeding strategy, his answer was short and clear " I will especially cross the children/grandchildren from the above mentioned stock pigeons. Rarely will there be an inbreeding pairing. I look a bit at the type of each pigeon and I don't know anything about the eye theory. The most important thing is the results "Good x Good" is in my opinion the ideal pairing and it is striking that some breeding lines pass on their winning genes much better than others."

One of the current top pairings is without discussion "Young Dreampair".

“Young Dreampair” is formed by “Son Jill” (NL17-1280564) x “Bulck 118” (NL17-1826118)
