Dear Pigeon Fancier,

It is with pleasure i welcome you on my website. On this  site i hope to give you a presentation of my racing birds and their bloodlines. In 2006 i started building a new colony out of the very best birds there are in Holland and Belgium. This already resulted in top-results on provincial and even on national level. Besides, the last few years i often managed to get on teletext.

In 2005 and 2006 i purchased several youngsters from local hard playing fanciers and tested these at the races. Among all these new birds were 3 super racing and breeding birds. The first one is Nl05-0510364 "Uno" (direct H Calon) which won 1st Nat Npo Argenton and allready became father to 10 Nat Npo La Souteraine in 2010, 2 ace-pigeon Middle Distance Youngsters 2010, etc. The second important bird was Nl06-1152249 "Superscheel" (direct Gebr Scheele) probably one of the best pigeons of the colony and she’s already a proven superbreeding hen. In short time she became mother to a provincial winner, teletext pigeons, etc. She's putting her stamp on the colony big time. The 3rd important bird was Nl06-1142504 "Zwart Orleans" (direct Paul de Poorter) she raced very good on though races and allready bred several good birds.

In my constant search for better birds i also got in contact with Piet van de Merwe and Koen Minderhoud, both belonging to the top of Holland. At first i purchased several birds from both fanciers. Later i became good friends with Piet and since then a lot of birds made his way to Sluis and vice versa. The birds that were purchased at Piet were all descendants from the famous 500, Sofie, Femke etc. Superior bloodlines who produce new top birds every year, generation after generation. In 2010 again 10 birds moved from Piet to Sluis, all from the best breeding birds a.o. 2 from te Blois cock (1st Nat Blois).

At Koen Minderhoud only birds were purchased from the very best of his colony:
Out of the Blauwe 522, a fabulous racer and breeder.
Out of Son Daniël 568, this super breeder is father of 3 pigeons with 6 first prizes in one year and also father of the Blauwe 522 (18x top 10 and 6x1).
Out of the Asduif 933, which won 1 Prov Ace Long Distance and he’s father of NPO duifje 226, 1 Nat Npo Orleans 3453 p.
Out of Son Barney 784, father of many super birds and breeding hens, with daughter Kannibaal, one of the top-hens of the colony.
Further also children of the 524/02, 450/00, 589/98, all pigeons with several first prizes and most certainly not the least: 1 against more than 12.000, 1 against more than 13.000 etc.
And not to forget also out of geschelpt 553/04, mother of all top-cocks. Geschelpt 553 is already mother of 15 first prize winners, almost all out of the inbreed Wittenbuik 420/97, father of 35 first prize winners.
Also children of the two sister; Lady Marleen 570/99 and Tamara 589/99, which flew 1 and 2 provincial Morlincourt 5056 p.

These birds very soon produced several super racing birds, especially on the one day long distance these birds are at the top of there game. In the fall of 2009 again 2 late youngsters were added to the breeding loft from the very best of Koen. 1 from superpair Barney 784 x Daughter Kannibaal and 1 out of Blauwe witpen Engels x het pareltje (parents from super 45tje). A son of blauwe bikkel x superscheel paired to the late hen from blauwe witpen engels x het pareltje looks to become a new super breeding couple.

Recently some birds were purchased to inprove the breeding loft even more especially for though races above 600 km. The First results from these new Lines maybe will be known in 2011, but for sure in 2012.

All new birds get 2 years the time to produce good birds, if not they are removed whitout pardon.

If you have any questions about this site, birds or else, don't hesistate to contact me.

Yours in sport,

Martin de Poorter,
