Dadizele - During the Argenton II national flight for the province of West Flanders, Ameel-Vanlake from Dadizele won 1st place in the province against 1,992 old birds with their blue cock BE21-3016787, named 'Seppe'.

BE21-3016787 'Seppe'

This remarkable pigeon not only won 1st provincial prize, but also 7th place nationally against 8,867 old birds (11th place against 20,044 old birds and yearlings combined). Previously, 'Seppe' has also achieved the following results:
2022 :
51st Clermont against 605 yearlings
2023 : 
30th Bourges against 673 old birds

Excellent Pedigree

Seppe's sire never raced, but was used directly for breeding. His bloodline includes 'Pinokkio' (1st Nat. Gueret and twice 1st Prov.). In addition, his sire achieved excellent performances over long, heavy distances with, amongst others, a 79th national place in Montélimar, 864th international in Marseille against 12,054 pigeons, 479th national in Agen against 3,928 pigeons and 559th national in Valence against 6,542 pigeons.

The dam of 'Seppe' is an inbred of 'Ronaldo', who has won, amongst other things, the 2nd National Ace G.M.D. KBDB and three times the 1st provincial prize. This mother is also an excellent breeder with offspring that have already won 4th place in Clermont against 634 pigeons, 13th place in Clermont against 737 pigeons and 39th place in Bourges against 1,341 pigeons.

That the combination of this sire and dam clicks was also proved with 'Marcel' (a full brother to 'Seppe') who has already flown 2 first prizes.
