1 Marathon king Piet de Vogel - Oude Tonge (NL) Building up a capital breeding colony became his life s work unequalled breeding talents resulting in National top prizes were the driving ambition. Piet de Vogel from Oude Tonge was resplendent in both aims, with 2010 probably being the luminous example of the hegemony in his favourite marathon classics. The often extreme conditions in the National and International overnight classics in 2010 were right up Piet de Vogel s street. His super class colony based mainly on the Jan Aarden strain in 2010 his team won no less than 21 x 1 st prize in 7 different occasions. A youthful racing team in widowhood, consisting of 60 pigeons, wherefrom 30 yearlings and in the ratio 40 cocks and 20 hens, showed what they were made of and made front racing a recurring question of honour. National basketting centre: 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10 etc. National: 10, 11, 13, 16, 16, 31, 43, 46, 55, 65, 66, 73, 95 prize etc. St.Vincent 11 entered Nat. sector II: 11 (Queen St. Vincent), 43, 400, 444, 951 against 5336 pigeons Pau 10 entered National: 259 and 453 against 2657 pigeons Bordeaux 10 yearlings Nat. ZLU: 13 (Blauwe Bordeaux 240), 65, 130, 514, 731, 814 against 3835 pigeons Barcelona 10 entered Nat. ZLU: 16 (Barcelonaman), 468, 772, 984 en 1322 against 7016 pigeons Tarbes 10 entered National: 94, 150, 264, 286 and 332 against 2950 pigeons Marseille 7 entered Nat. ZLU: 31 (Marseilleman), 66, 166, 232, 676, 785 against 3248 pigeons Narbonne 20 entered Nationaal: 211, 516, 540, 617, 679 and 923 against 3850 pigeons Perpignan 10 entered Nat. ZLU 448, 930, 998, 1036, 1115, 1158, 1287, 1348 against 5409 p. Further in the National Cahors (sector 2) 8 pigeons entered and 4 prizes earned: 153 rd 296 th 318 th and 1586 th against 6397 pigeons. Distances of km and just like in 2006 when Piet won 1 st West-European Super Marathon, 2010 was a very tough season due to the weather conditions. Mostly tough races with head wind and heat! Only Perpignan was an easy race with wind from behind. I suspect that it says it all when my best results are booked in the tough morning liberations, says Piet. Liberations just after sunrise and flying all day with arrival late in the evening or early next morning. I m talking about the Nationals, with one National and one International the afternoon liberations in the Netherlands are all sectional for me still a little bit less prestigious. I m convinced that my pigeons come to the fore under tough circumstances thanks to a very well thought through breeding philosophy and a natural system of keeping pigeons through a very tough selection! The heart of Piet de Vogel s breeding philosophy can be summarised as an enormously strong marathon stock based on sublime winners with great potency for the future. A look at the leaders of the breeding colony supports this line of thought. Now onto some of Piet s key racers and breeders...
2 Jonge Stayer Beginning with the absolute stock father NL Jonge Stayer, wherefrom all the children will now be cherished as breeding jewels for the future. You only have a cock like him once in a lifetime, realises Piet. At home and abroad fanciers have been enormously successful with descendants of this great breeder not in the least Piet de Vogel himself. A few of the best descendants of Jonge Stayer are:- The Pauman 1 st Nat. Ace pigeon Fond Spiegel , 1 st Nat. Ace pigeon Fond Spiegel , 3 rd Nat. Ace pigeon Pau ZLU with a.o. 5 th Nat. Pau 2005 against 3571 pigeons, 42 nd International Pau 2005 against 8438 pigeons, 45 th Nat. Dax 2006 against 3260 pigeons, 95 th International Dax 2006 against pigeons and also 138 th Nat. Pau 2006, 190 th Nat. Dax 2005, 244 th Nat. Pau 2004, 288 th Nat. Mt de Marsan 2003, 271 st International Pau 2006, 308 th Nat. Perpignan 2006, 343 rd Nat. Dax 2004, 402 nd Nat. Perpignan 2004, 682nd Nat. Irun Blue Thunder 4 th Nat. Mt. Ventoux time race 2003 (6 pigeons home the first day), 10 th Nat. St. Vincent (S2) 2004 against 6385 pigeons, 20 th Nat. Mt. de Marsan (S2) 2003 against 7245 pigeons, 68 th Nat. Dax ZLU 2001 against pigeons (1 st basketting centre), 90 th Nat. Bordeaux (S2) against 9277 pigeons and further 207 th Nat. Pau 2002, 235 th Nat. Bergerac (S2) 2001 and 367 th Nat. Bordeaux ZLU The Barcelonaman in 2010 from Barcelona winner of 1 st prize in club, basketting centre (293p with 2 hour lead), province (1228p), SNZH (1967 p) and in the end 16 th National 7016 pigeons. The Marseilleman in 2010 from Marseille the 1 st prize in club, basketting centre (117p), 5 th prize in province (506p), 12 th prize SNZH (909p) and 31 st National 3248 pigeons. From Barcelona 2010 the enormous breeding power of Jonge Stayer was proved yet again. With a total of 7016 National pigeons, four descendants nestled themselves in the top 30: 13 th (a grandson, by VD Kerk), 16 th (a son, by Piet de Vogel), 24 th (great grandson, by Albers) and 28 th (great grandson, by Albers). Then there s the great Monty Boy A year older than Jonge Stayer and having an illustrious racing and breeding history is NL Monty Boy a class pigeon in the air and a.o. winner of Ace pigeon FBZ St. Vincent/Mt. de Marsan 6 th Nat. Ace pigeon overnight NPO 1 st Mt. de Marsan pigeons 3 rd Nat. Mont de Marsan pigeons 22 nd Nat. St Vincent pigeons 25 th Nat. St Vincent pigeons 39 th Nat. Dax pigeons 60 th Nat. Dax pigeons 68 th Nat. St Vincent pigeons 232 nd Nat. Montauban pigeons 431 st Nat. St Vincent pigeons 836 th Nat. Marseille pigeons 1525 th Nat. Bergerac pigeons
3 Monty Boy is largely a Jan Aarden cock and grandson of stock cock The 57 (Aarden-Cools-Van Wanroy) just like stock couple B: Donkere Lazeroms x Gouden Stamduivin 675 Monty Boy was also grandfather of winners of: 3 rd Nat. & 6 th Internat. Barcelona th Nat. Barcelona th Nat. Barcelona 2010 One of his best sons is without doubt Rode St. Vincent A great racer with many prizes whose highlights were:- 28 th Nat. St Vincent 5232 pigeons 1 st district 51 st Nat. St Vincent 5101 pigeons 3 rd district 64 th Nat. Mt. de Marsan 3688 pigeons 81 st Nat. Montauban 8307 pigeons 180 th Nat. Tarbes 4102 pigeons 364 th Nat. St Vincent 6829 pigeons 410 th Nat. Tarbes 4487 pigeons 507 th Nat. St Vincent 6052 pigeons 677 th Nat. Mt. de Marsan pigeons
4 Breeding icons from the new generation The super lines of the aforementioned stock bears are often provided with fresh blood through sensational purchases. A few of these are well on their way to growing into new stock holders not surprising seeing their exceptional performances in moments of truth. Three new leaders are:- NL Paarsborst 1 st Nat. Dax 2006 against 3257 pigeons and 2 nd Internat. Dax 2006 against pigeons (in very tough edition) 1 st Nat. Lourdes time race 2005 (in bizarre circumstances) 33 rd Nat. Pau 2005 against 3077 pigeons 91 st Internat. Pau 2005 against 8438 pigeons 208 th Nat. Perpignan 2005 against 6299 pigeons 535 th Internat. Perpignan 2005 against pigeons As a yearling he was already crowned as 1 st Ace pigeon extreme middle distance with 2x 1 st prize. Paarsborst descendants have already shined, so as a.o. by C. Joose (1 st Nat. Pau hens 2009, 2 nd Nat pigeons and 8 th Internat pigeons) Tom vd Kamp (10 th Nat. Pau 2010 against 2657 pigeons) and of course by Piet de Vogel himself, where children have already won: o 13 th Nat. Bordeaux yearlings 2010 against 3836 pigeons o 2 nd basketting centre / 14 th Nat Tarbes 2010 against 1112 pigeons o 3 rd basketting centre / 78 th Nat. Bordeaux 2009 against 5235 pigeons. NL Super 80 shiner by J. Groenendijk 1 st NPO Mt. de Marsan (SII) against 4144 pigeons (2009) with a lead of more than an hour 4 th Nat. Bergerac (SII) against 7471 pigeons (2008) 14 th Nat. Bordeaux (SII) against 6299 pigeons (2009) Also winner 3x 1 st prize in basketting centre 1622 Son of Super 80 has already won 1 st basketting centre / 4 th Nat. Bordeaux against 6101 pigeons 2010 Super 80 is nest brother of The 81, 1. Ace pigeon afternoon liberation in district and Nat. basketting centre and was bred from a Steketee cock x full sister of Beer 307, top class racer and 2 nd Nat. Ace pigeon ZLU 2009 NL Escobar de Cas 1 st Internat. Barcelona pigeon rd Nat. Barcelona 2010 against 7016 pigeons 17 th Internat. Barcelona 2010 against pigeons 19 th Nat. Barcelona 2009 against 8042 pigeons 46 th Internat. Barcelona 2009 against pigeons 210 th Nat. Perpignan 2009 against 6507 pigeons Escobar de Cas was bred by Cas vd Graaff, grew to be a top racer by Ko van Dommelen and was transferred to Piet de Vogel International Marathon Aces for a great sum he is a son of The Perpignan (4 th Nat. Perpignan 2007 and 6 th Nat. Bordeaux ZLU) whilst on mother s side he is also once again family of the Paarsborst.
5 A cartload of quality then, with which Piet has managed to win 15 * 1 st prizes in the very strong National basketting centre at Middelharnis a short summary of this:- St. Vincent 3x 1. prize Marseille 3x 1. prize Barcelona 2x 1. prize Bordeaux ZLU 2x 1. prize Mt.de Marsan 1x 1. prize 2004 Dax ZLU 2x 1. prize Pau 1x 1. prize 2005 Bergerac 1x 1. prize 1997 So, this really is one of Holland s leading long distance lofts that s how you can certainly describe Piet de Vogel. If not for the fabulous performances of his own racing team, then for the impact that descendants from his breeding stable have by many other fanciers. The passionate man from South-Holland continues unabated in his passion for perfection, and to anchor the highly acclaimed Piet de Vogel long distance stock even deeper into the annals of the Dutch pigeon sport!
