Since his childhood, Wilfried Bruyneel has been involved with pigeons. Years ago, he raced in tandem with Bertrand Bettens from Mater, where only young pigeons were played.
After his career as a hairdresser, Wilfried settled on the Boskant in Mater, and from then on, the overnight flights became his focus.
In his quest for pigeons for the extremely tough work, he ended up with the legendary Georges Carteus. Therefore, Wilfried's entire colony consists of about 80% origin from Carteus! Later, he also added successful contributions from Marcel Vandenabeele (Ronse), Etienne Devos (Deerlijk), Brockamp, and Chris Hebberecht (Evergem).
In 2010, Wilfried won 1st International Perpignan against no less than 15,857 old pigeons. Unfortunately, shortly after, he fell ill, and all the pigeons were sold, except for about 20 young pigeons. With these promising young pigeons, a new foundation was built for his beloved discipline: the heavy fond.
Simplified System
At the Bruyneel household, the breeders come together in January for the first laying. This round goes to Jan Haesaert (Mater), who has also achieved a series of top results with Wilfried's pigeons. Subsequently, 3 more rounds are bred for personal use. The intention is for the young pigeons to fly Noyon at least 2 more times. As young pigeons, they will then participate in 2 fond flights and are played as "fathers": without a hen, without motivation, simply returning home is the message. From the age of 2, they are then prepared for the heavy fond.
In terms of nutrition, Wilfried chooses Versele-Laga: breeding, molting, and sport.
