A
visit at Combination ‘The
Pigeon’. Today’s visit is at Gré Sanders and Herbert
Vleeming in Zevenaar (NL); two exceptional fancy pigeon breeders. Over the
years they had about 30 different breeds in their lofts. Some were kept longer
than other ones but all breeds served as study material for the Gré’s fancy
pigeon judge exams. By: Nico van Benten 8 pages - 1,4 MB |

CAUCHOIS, breeding
and showing. We always try to show our birds in optimal
condition. But after show season, we have to take care that our breeding

Jobst von Veltheim surely could not possibly have even dreamed off such
success! By: Helmut Demler 7 pages - 500 kB |

reacts in a certain way but also to discern problems and disease in time. By: Hein van Grouw 8 pages - 280 kB |
