1 Sakis Minovgioudis - Alblasserdam (NL) at the top thanks to Ludo Claessens. Alblasserdam, situated on one of the busiest navigated rivers of West-Europe, is the residence of Sakis Minovgioudis. This, originating from Greece Epicurean, has been noticed over the last few years for his marvellous racing, especially with the widow hens. The game with the hens totally suits Sakis. The basis of these successes lies in him investing in a marvellous collection of direct and pure Ludo Claessens-pigeons. Not only the birds from Ludo Claessens have been instrumental here. Also his years of friendship with the grandmaster from Putte was instrumental in his (pigeon) career. Sakis can talk for hours, and with full respect, about the nice moments he has enjoyed together with Ludo Claessens. He s never come across anyone else in the pigeon sport who is so professional as Ludo. It is therefore very sad that this expert has stopped with the pigeon sport. Sakis is therefore carefully trying to continue the life s work of Ludo, and for this reason he has hardly crossed any new pigeons with these birds over the last few years. The absolute stock hen is the NL Meeuwke 12, this hen comes out the Supercrack 69 x Golden White. She is then a full sister of the Yeti and a half-sister of the Jonge Supercrack. No less than 15 first prize winners come directly from Meeuwke 12

Sakis didn t want to part with his favourite hen. Instead of a sale, it was agreed that they would joint breed in 2005 Ludo then coupled one of his top cocks, namely Favoriet 65 against Meeuwke 12. To demonstrate how good Sakis is with the hens, we would like to introduce a few of the top hens to you :
