In the Walloon town of Hotton, just a stone’s throw from Durbuy, are the lofts of Jean-Philippe Degee. To compete for national titles from such a location, everything has to go perfectly right — and above all, you must possess superior pigeons that dare to find their way home on their own. Over the years, Jean-Philippe has worked tirelessly to build a highly intelligent strain of pigeons capable of doing exactly that, from 100 to 1,000 kilometers!
In 2018, he already managed to leave the entire national Libourne convoy behind him and claimed 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 exceptional once again, with Jean-Philippe recording no fewer than 21 provincial victories in the province of Luxembourg — true top-class quality! For the first time, Degee is offering a group of late-bred youngsters at auction through Pitts. We can already reveal that the winning bloodline is clearly present: once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Absolute top quality!
