Kamp/Kippers (Rijssen-NL): Where top lineage and top results meet

The team consists of Jan Kippers and the brothers Maarten and Robert Jan Kamp. They compete in their races in the particularly strong Division 9 East Netherlands, where the competition is fierce and the level is exceptionally high. It is an environment where people continuously push each other to achieve better performances.

In 2025, they crowned their top form with both 1st place in the Sprint and 1st place in the Middle Distance in Division 9 East Netherlands. This was against established names such as Eijerkamp - Paalman - Derksen-V.d.Keuken - Lucas Boogaerdt - Jan Nijboer - Falckenborg-Nijhof - H.Doldersum&zn - Frans Strikker - Marco Zandvoort - Jelle Jellema,....

Over the years, targeted and well-considered investments were made. Reinforcements came from Gebr. Van den Brande, Mees Doornekamp, Maarten Huijsmans, G. & H. Calis, and Gebr. Van Toor, among others. 

With the addition of the pigeons from Gebroeders Van den Brande, the quality level was immediately raised significantly. The results of the (grand)children from the daughters of Diamant “son of 401 x Sneeuwwitje” are almost unbelievable. Fast prizes, frequent top rankings, and an almost unheard-of regularity clearly underline the great class of this line.

In recent years, the focus has been firmly on the absolute top pigeons of Maarten Huijsmans and G. & H. Calis. Leonidas has developed into a superior breeding cock, Xenia into an exceptional breeding hen. After an impressive yearling season, Leo's Diamond was immediately placed in the breeding loft.
