Rigo Lenaers (Vliermaal) and his fantastic breeding line “Super 485” which is good for 68 x 1st Semi-Provincial 2021-2024
15 Dec 2024
This season Rigo Lenaers was again a colony to keep an eye on every week. His pigeons competed with the best in all areas. He achieved a series of regional victories, provincial victories and he also had fantastic yearlings and young pigeons in the longer middle distance. The top result came in the provincial flight from Saint Soupplets. Rigo clocked the 2 fastest pigeons of 10,039 pigeons that started here. Both pigeons are proven toppers of the past season and are again descendants of his super breeder “485”. This is and remains the golden breeding line at the Rigo Lenaers house, which also produced this year's super hen in the heavy middle distance that won the 1st Nat (z) Bourges.
The current auction that Rigo is offering includes some young performance pigeons that are from the 3rd round and therefore not early young pigeons but that have flown exceptionally well. Very young violence who was ready for flight at a young age.

The pigeons in particular impressed me, the quality is very good! Soft plumes, strong muscles and a pigeon in one whole are the main characteristics of Rigo's top pigeons.
So we come back to the stock pigeon “BE 13-5059485” Super 485, which is a 100% Leo Heremans – August Jansen cock and is a grandson of “Olympiade 003”. The world-famous line that has already led to so many successes and here again. What is also important about this breeder is that the bloodline of these pigeons crosses fantastically with several pigeons that are coupled against them. For example, the crossing with several pigeons from Frank Neven is a bull's-eye in both lofts and the pigeons from Frans and Gert Rondags are great partners for the “Super 485” line.
The new input comes from Rene Vervoort, where the line of “White Man” was added and which immediately provides fireworks. So winning is again the message here.

The new super couple BE 18-5004673 x BE 18-5117543
Sometimes you have those couples where good ones come out over the years, they run thin, but here at the Rigo home he seems to have found one.
In just a few years they have become parents of 14 racers or breeders who have bred a first prize and a total of 18 pure first prizes were won without mentioning all the other top prizes. Almost all the pigeons are kept from this and will be Rigo's new future for the coming years.
BE 18-5004673 is a son of stock pigeon “Super 485” crossed with a hen from Frank Neven. This pigeon itself has not flown and was specially provided for breeding. His hen is “Daughter Nafi” from Gert & Frans Rondags and is a father x daughter coupling. (Father Nafi is a son of “Martin” 3rd National Ace Pigeon KBDB 2014 and mother Nafi is a daughter of super breeder “Mr.Bolt” and here we return to the line of Leo Heremans).
In 2024 Rigo had 3 pigeons in the racing loft among the young pigeons, all 3 of which did great.
