The Boonen brothers, Wil & Johan are 2 fantastic people who can talk for hours about the pigeon sport. But here it is not only words but also deeds that are delivered in their favorite domain, the extreme long distance and preferably from all the international flights where they have been of the highest level in the Netherlands in recent years.

Caatje 1st NATIONAL Barcelona
July 9, 2021, in the Spanish city of Barcelona, the pigeons were given the freedom to eternal fame at 6.45 am. Over a distance of 1112km, “Caatje” was clocked at 7:14 in the morning. We had to wait and see for the next pigeons, but she had more than enough lead and was 26m/min faster than the 2nd pigeon in the Netherlands. A super performance of this top hen in tough conditions.
She is a granddaughter of "Evita" from the German colony Lessmeister who won 1st National Barcelona in 2006 and a granddaughter of the "Bonte" from Francois Callebout. This “Bonte” won 2 x 1st Provincial in the Rhone Valley, namely 1st Provincial Montelimar ( 3rd National 2,166 pigeons ) and 1st Provincial Marseille ( 21st National 4,000 pigeons )
Superstar "Blue 679"
A super cock that will compete in the extreme long distance in 2019, 2020 and 2021. When it shone in Marseille in 2019, we knew it was made of the right wood. That is why we did not opt for Marseille in 2020, but for Agen in the shorter season. He shone even better on this with 2nd National against 6,844 pigeons and was clocked at 0.03m/min. If “Blue 679” had won 1st National here, he would no longer be raced in 2021, but now he got his chance again at Marseille and was not disappointed. He won 6th National against 4,310 pigeons.
How thin are such pigeons sown, 2 x TOP 6 National and 1st National Ace Pigeon Marseille 2019-2021. super class

His father was “Den 82” who never missed out on 12 extreme long distance races, just like his brothers who won 6 x TOP 100 NPO and 2 x TOP 100 National. The mother of "679" is a daughter of "Cavendish" who won 81st National Dax and 128th National Tarbes. Pure extreme long distance with a golden edge…
NL 18-1293545 “New Janske”
1st National Marseille 2019 ( 2nd I.Nat Marseille 10.029p )
What a classy hen, being the best yearling from the Netherlands over a distance of 883km in these tough conditions and Internationally she was the best of all hens and she won 2nd International against 10,029 pigeons.
If you look at her family, the top class pigeon “Nightflyer” from Jan Stevens is present on her father's side, who himself won 2nd National St.Vincent against 3,824 pigeons and on top of that 3 x Top 45 National. On mother's side we find a direct daughter of "Super Agen". This topper won 1st I.Nat Agen against 20,072 pigeons. So if you look at this pedigree, only National or International top racers are in this fantastic hen.
