After thorough screening and strict selection, this sale includes all breeding pigeons from the Vermeiren André & Son loft. They are built up from world-class breeds such as Chris Debacker, Philippe Dobbelaere, Bert Vanden Berghe, Freddy & Jacques Vandenheede, Guy Van Der Auwera, Gevaert-Lannoo, Luc Deprez, and mainly bred from 1st provincial winners or from the direct line of national and provincial 1st prize winners who have flown various top rankings from speed to heavy middle distance. Unfortunately, the pigeon story in Kruisem is now coming to an end, following the death of father André at the end of December 2023 and the sale of the family home in 2025. A remarkable feat that began in 1979, with years of very strong performances in sprint races and provincially listed ace pigeons as the icing on the cake. In the 2000s, the decision was made to switch definitively to middle and long distance racing as a new challenge. The bar was set higher and higher, and as a fancier ‘with the small basket’ competing against renowned top pigeon fanciers, this transition was accompanied by several top 100 rankings at national and provincial level and, to top it all off, the provincial victory at Blois with ‘the provincial nestpender 771’, several of whose offspring are still for sale. This marks the end of a breeding line that has been carefully developed over many years, and now presents an opportunity to continue Vermeiren's work and achieve even more success!
