In the Walloon town of Hotton, just a stone’s throw from Durbuy, you will find the lofts of Philippe Degee. To compete for national titles from such a location, everything has to fall perfectly into place — and above all, you must possess superior pigeons that dare to make the journey home on their own. Over the years, Philippe has diligently built an exceptionally intelligent strain of pigeons capable of doing exactly that, from 100 to 1,000 kilometers! Back in 2018, he already left the entire national Libourne convoy behind him to claim national victory. Other top performances, consistently at the very top on a national level, followed on races such as Pau, Limoges, Libourne, and Marseille. The 2025 season proved outstanding once again, with Philippe securing no fewer than 21 provincial victories in the province of Luxembourg — a true testament to top-class quality!
For the first time, Degee is offering a group of late-bred youngsters via Pitts at auction. We can already reveal that the winning bloodline is clearly present — once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Absolute top quality!
