The auction of the century!!! The auction that the whole international pigeon world is looking forward to, because The crown jewels from As are coming to Thorn Wonder boy Jos THONE from Niel bij As The All-round Champion Nr 1 of Belgium... with, included on his honours list 6 x 1 National victories 2 x 1 International victories 1 National Champion KBDB Youngsters Winner of 5 Olympic pigeons 4 x World champion 5 x Gouden Duif -winner 12 x 1 National Champion BDS 13 x 1 National Champion LCB 55 x 1 Provincial 257 x within the Top 100 National Jos was already crawling in the pigeon lofts of his father before he had grown out of his nappy, and later he couldn t be kept away. At school he spent more time thinking about the pigeons than concentrating on the lessons and during his free time he often visited his experienced teacher Jan Grondelaers in Opglabbeek! It was already clear that pigeons were going to play an important role in his life! It has all gone in breakneck speed since the period 1977-91 when Jos was loft carer by (future) father-in-law Thomas Peeters & Sons in As. Thomas had asked father Thoné if he was interested in taking care of the loft for him. But he didn t think he could manage all the work and so suggested that his son Jos (then 16 years old) could help Thomas in cleaning the lofts. In addition to the mounds of droppings that Jos had scraped together there in the Grotstraat, he soon became familiar with the Peeters pigeons, and learned the first tricks of the trade. Relying on the experience of his future father-in-law Thomas and scientifically supported by brother-in-law, veterinary surgeon Norbert Peeters, Jos soon brought the Peeters-colony to the top of the international pigeon sport, with a title of General Nat. Champion KBDB and 2 national victories as signboard. It seemed that Jos Thoné was capable of so much more than just cleaning the lofts he could let the pigeons flourish and bring them to a climax! The line of their Gouden Grijze, and pigeons so as the Boeing, Pegasus, the Reus, the Witte Reus, the Korte Bek, the Perigueux, the Generaal, the Kleine Molenaar and not least the figurehead Diego Armando Barcelona were kneaded by Jos Thoné into pigeons with world fame. What no-one can claim with certainty but what can easily be seen by everybody, is that the basis was laid here for a pigeon career, the like of which has never been known before!

Butterflies in the stomach Jos not only gained experience with the pigeons by Thomas Peeters he also had butterflies in the stomach. Because Jos had taken a fancy to the youngest daughter, Gaby. In 1988 the year that he won the title of General National Champion of Belgium with Thomas Peeters he also married Gaby. He received a plot of building land in the Kruisstraat as a present from his brand new dad-inlaw Thomas Peeters in 1989 Jos was able to start building his dream house and ditto loft accommodation! In 1991 a start was made from the current lofts in Niel bij As. A loft which was a result of a well thought through study, to find the optimal combination between little cleaning, moving the pigeons about as little as possible (hens sit at the back of the loft, behind the cocks loft), and the optimal use of space in addition to the integration of the pigeon sport into the family life. The basis for the success story which has been laid down up until this day in 2010 was laid. Jos was ahead at all levels he was houseman who looked after the children, whilst Gaby carried on with her job at the bank meaning that he had an ocean of time to concentrate full-time on the pigeon sport he was able to open his rich suggestion box fully and enact! He immediately lit the fuse on his "barrel" full of ambition no challenge was too great via hard work Jos Thoné paved his way to the absolute top soon even became world champion something which he repeated 3 times! When he first went to the Gouden Duif social evening there hatched an idea in his inner self I want to stand on that podium next year! And who stood there on the highest podium a year later, flaunting, with the Gouden Duif in his hand? Yes one Jos Thoné another 4 would also follow this! In the meantime he has collected an honours list which is bursting at the seams which knows no equal and this at all levels! The result is printed at the top of this article in capital letters. He managed to hold his own in all disciplines from sprint to extreme long distance and this via a well figured out breeding system because winners of the type Jos Thoné are simply used to winning! Thus over the years he has created an extremely versatile colony with a type of pigeon that is world top in the extreme Middle Distance in other words from 500 to 700 Km. By introducing speed Jos bred toppers in the sprint and Middle Distance by introducing resistance and endurance he bred toppers in the extreme long distance! In this way Jos Thoné created the modern racing pigeon the modern all round pigeon which is world top in all disciplines! Pigeons with which everyone can win all over the world that is apparent from the cartload of references worldwide no wonder then that the name Jos Thoné enjoys world fame wherever in the world pigeons are raced! He is not only sought after and coveted all over the world he is also the perfect ambassador for our Belgian sport pigeon! Whoever has introduced Thoné pigeons into his lofts knew within the shortest space of time what winning meant in our pigeon sport! His life s work will now come onto the auction table We can without hesitation label the Jos Thoné colony as the best all-round colony of Belgium which manages almost weekly to win 1 prizes and achieve top performances from sprint to grand distance in other words up to Barcelona! When Jos Thoné stood on his own two feet in the pigeon sport in 1991, he had the big advantage of being able to draw abundantly on the breeding source which he had himself built up and expanded by father-in-law Thomas Peeters, in other words the sort based on the world famous Gouden Grijze. With regard to long distance and grand distance, he couldn t have imagined better starting

material after all, they were pigeons which he knew inside out, which held no secrets for him. He knew the best breeding couples like the back of his hand, and correspondingly also the capacities of these pigeons. Because look at it whichever way you like, success in the pigeon sport is based on good pigeons, and these are produced through a classy breeding loft! It is not Bull s-eye every time, everybody knows that but top successes in the long term, over several years, find their roots in the classy basis in a super excellent breeding source. It is without doubt the most important link in the chain. Toppers of the calibre Jos Thoné know this better than anybody. When they discover a defect or shortcoming, or when this threatens to arise, they are there immediately to supplement this or to get rid of this thing! Understanding the art of immediately getting rid of a threatening defect with a talent or a value is normal for real toppers! So as already stated, Jos wanted to shine in all disciplines of our sport, from sprint to Barcelona. That s why he went in search of suitable breeding material which could live up to his demanding approach. There was specially a need for fresh blood for the sprint and Middle Distance. For this, the purchase of Superman 253/82 (1 Nat Ace pigeon Middle Distance KBDB 86) was without doubt a direct hit and lies at the basis of the widely-acclaimed Sumo-line, which has sown terror into the pigeon platoon at times over the last few seasons. In that perspective pigeons were also obtained from the experienced teacher Jan Grondelaers, from Gust Christiaens, Pros Roosen and of course the Clerinckx-pigeons all this for the Middle Distance. For the grand distance Jos visited Steenbergen by Van der Wegen and Neer by Gebr Kuijpers! The Sars also came later via Gebr Herbots (direct son of the National I Karel Schellens, winner 1 Nat Bourges) to supplement the rich breeding loft. Times change, and being successful with the pigeons and remaining successful, also means responding to current events. This is how over the years Jos introduced not only the total widowhood into his colony, there was later the interplay with darkening and lighting a method which was also used in the Netherlands whereby the pigeons are basketted almost every week. Not all pigeons are made for this, or can handle it especially when the races are 500-600 Km! Jos discovered that the Grondelaers line in particular had trouble with this that is why the introduction of the Sars was so important, it brought that extra power, so that these pigeons passed perfectly into the system of racing weekly! This once again proves that real toppers don t only have to respond to current events, but also have to realise that sometimes modifications are needed in the pigeon collection! It is no longer possible to be successful with just 1 pigeon sort, you have to have supers in all disciplines to count, Jos knew that. The pigeons are continually becoming faster in all disciplines that is why it is necessary to have a selection per discipline (sprint + Middle Distance, long distance, grand distance) and per racing system. If Jos found that there was a small gap threatening somewhere then he went in search of reinforcements to get rid of that defect whereby he responded to the market whereby Jos especially had an eye for National winners and Ace pigeons, exceptional front racers and 1 Prize winners, or exceptional breeders which lie at the basis of a rich family of descendants! Often painful for the wallet or bank account but that s something you have to accept! A few examples to illustrate this are the Superman-line which is sprint from origin so as stated earlier, this lies at the basis of the Sumo line and this Sumo line x long distance produced excellent long distance racers. A striking example of this is the wonder breeder Emperor 968/98 (son of Sumo 042/94 x Eva 023/93) who is father of the 1 Intnat Dax 19.400 p, 2 Intnat Dax 17.000 p, 1 Nat Dax, 6 Nat Saintes against approx. 5000 p etc! Sedna I and Sedna II respective winners 1 + 2 Intnat Narbonne 5.870 p. in 05 also have the Sumo as grandfather!

The Napoleon-line (the Napoleon won 1 Prov Reims 6.459 p, 1 Marne 1.514 p and is Grondelaers blood) for sprint and Middle Distance, gave, in crossing with the Sars, excellent racing and breeding pigeons for the grand Middle Distance to light long distance. And for the 400-700 Km races Jos is sitting pretty by coupling this Sumo x Sars -line with each other, whilst for the last few seasons the line National II Turlinckx (ownership Thoné/Bifs) was imparted here with overwhelming success. Pigeons that offer great possibilities from sprint to, say 600 Km. As far as the pure long distance is concerned, these lines are still based on the Gouden Grijze, Poco Diego (Poco won 1 Int Barcelona YL 93 and 1 Nat Barcelona Hens 95) or the line of the favourite pigeon of Jos Thoné at the time in the lofts of Thomas Peeters, namely Diego Armando Barcelona! Here the lines of Full Try (1 Nat Ace pigeon Grand distance 2004 from Jozef Bracke), and Nadira (the best extreme distance hen in the world, with 2 x 1 International victory within 2 weeks by Lothar Lessmeister) successfully introduced, in addition to the classy Brockamp pigeons which moved from Boppard to Niel bij As the success lines from Euro Diamond, Mistral etc which in 2010 directly ensured 1 Prov from Tulle (4 National) in the lofts of bosom friends Henri & Guy Baerts! The last acquisition of format was without doubt the Kleine Figo the wonder breeder from Kees Bosua and full brother of the famous Figo from Antoon & Hilde Reynaert winner of the 1 Prov Ace pigeon Middle Distance and 1 Nat Bourges 12.266 p.! This Kleine Figo is self a.o. father of the Kerkduifje (1 Nat Le Mans) and the Kannibaal (Olympic pigeon All Round in Dortmund) a new exponent of world class which came to join the rich Thoné lofts! All these success lines are still frequently represented in the pedigrees of the Jos Thoné colony up to this day a mixture of these basis lines allowed Jos to shine in all the disciplines of our sport week after week to allow him to be crowned as the absolute nr 1 All-Round colony of our country! Excelling and dominating for years the characteristic of the modern Thoné pigeon! You won t find any better! The Highlights of years of domination That Jos Thoné is the Nr 1 All Round Champion we are all in agreement about that! That translated itself into an infinite series of overwhelming performances, national and international victories, national titles, world titles a domination that knew no boundaries, has never even known an equal or ever will! Let us make a round-up of the overwhelming performances of that tidal wave of title wins with which the Thoné pigeons have flooded pigeon loving Belgium. Because 55 x 1 Provincial 257 x within the first 100 National from 100 to 1.100 Km you don t just win something like that but this proves the exceptional world class!

Etc To Thorn on the 18th of December The pigeon world trembled in its foundations when Jos Thoné announced the auction of all his old birds because Jos will present the absolute crème de la crème there in Thorn the very best present in his colony at the moment nothing but pure world class in other words the caviar of the Jos Thoné colony! Never before has such a wealth of top talent of class pigeons of winners of breeding talent, come under the auctioneer s hammer in one and the same auction!

The world s best All-round colony ever; with eye-catchers from 100 to 1.000 km coming to Thorn with pigeons on which you can paste the word WORLD TOP! Because Jos Thoné is not just bringing any old lot of pigeons to Thorn but the real JOS-pigeons yes, one for one Jewels of the Sky (what s in a name?) because g{x vüéãç }xãxäá Éy Tá tüx véå Çz àé g{éüç Remember this is a chance that will probably never occur again! All-rounder Jos Thoné a world leader of stature from 100 to 1.000 km!!! References: So as revealed in the introductory text even in the smallest corners of the earth where pigeons are raced the name Jos Thoné is not only known it is even a concept the name Thoné can be written, spelt and pronounced perfectly all over the world because his pigeons have gained name and fame. His performances and the ins and outs of the Jos Thoné colony are closely followed. The announcement of his imminent auction was hot news straight away and immediately a tidal wave of thank-you letters came flooding in with performances, victories and titles, won through and with descendants of the Jos Thoné pigeons. People who are overjoyed because since the introduction of the pigeons from Niel-bij-As they have seen their performance curve shoot up have travelled roads littered with success thanks to those Thoné pigeons! Admittedly one thank you letter is more impressive than the other depending on where one lays their standards how high he sets his own standards! Nevertheless, the pile of references lying here is colossal enough to fill a bulky book with but too many to reproduce here. Over the years Jos Thoné has made a selection of the most predominant references and posted them on his website that s why we would like to refer you to his website www.thone.be where you can find everything in the left column under the topic references. Even this list is far from complete, and Jos apologises anybody he may have forgotten to mention!

The SUMO B94-5018042 is more or less seen as the stock bear by far of the Jos Thoné colony. He is in any case, an exceptional breeding pigeon with an enormous potential of super genes a real exponent of world class. Phenomenal crack pigeons have been bred form him in both the Sprint, as Middle Distance and Long Distance he is not considered one of the best breeders our earth has ever known for nothing.
