That we can expect intense results from the gentlemen Panis on a weekly basis was already as certain as the sun rising. In the past, they gave the entire country a lesson in pigeon racing when they won the national Bourges 1st & 2nd nationally with the yearlings, and again the 2nd national with the old ones! Undoubtedly one of the shining cherries on the cake for this father-son combination, which has been so successful for years!
Pedigree Development
Impressive results can only be achieved with impressive pigeons. And at Panis, they are undoubtedly well-represented. Most of the praise goes to Ronny Smeers, as Ludo and son Jeroen have had excellent pigeons from him for years. The lines from Gebr. Van Den Brande from Berlaar and Dirk Van den Bulck also perform excellently in Diepenbeek, further supplemented with the white strain that traces back to top lofts Geerinckx and Marcel Wouters.
At Eijerkamp, they went to retrieve a son of ‘Diamant’, from which they immediately bred the top performer “Lauren”.
Chain Results with a Small Colony
24 breeders ensure the future and provide about 60 early young pigeons annually. 18 flying hens and 16 widowers compete weekly with the competition. They are played on widowhood. The young pigeons stay together and were also darkened this year, with good results. Veterinarian Raf Herbots is responsible for the medical supervision of this top colony.
At the Panis household, formidable results emerge weekly in all categories, and this was no different in 2024, judge for yourself:
