When
Louis Van den Eynde ended his football career
in 1971, he decided to focus completely on
race pigeons. He bought 10 pigeons from Houben
of Itegem and 1 hen from Tournier of Lommel
and he started breeding. At first he mainly
played on Noyon (180km).

Considering
the big success, Louis tried to play on greater
distances, up to 330km (Dourdan). And his
pigeons scored very well, also on these flights.
Some years later, Janssen Arendonk pigeons,
that he bought from Jan Gillyns and some pigeons
he bought directly from Janssen were added
to the colony. These pigeons were descendents
of the famous Janssen lines" Oude
Lichten", "Den Bangen" and
"Korte Witoger". Via Stoces (of
Witberg) some more Janssen pigeons came to
Brussegem.
From the "Den Bangen" line, Louis
bred "De Favori", a pigeon
which name matched it's performances (The
Favorite). The pigeon obtained excellent results
on Noyon and Dourdan, 6 years in a row! It
was also "provinciale Asduif" twice.
In '86 Louis bought pigeons from Lou Wouters,
Maurits Voets and Schellens via August Christiaans.
From these, the successful "Swing"
line was breed.
Through the years, more and more attention
was put to the pigeons' perfect condition.
The aims for results also became higher. In
1993 Louis decided to try his luck on the
heavy semi-fond (up to 600km). His success came shortly after. Even in the first year
he won 1st prize Semi-National Chateauroux
for yearlings.
In '96 he bought a hen from De Schepper/De
Temmerman, race De Ladder/Van den Abeele,
which is very successful for breeding even
today. To get even more "long distance"
blood in the colony, Louis and Cl. De Mesmaecker
bought pigeons from Roger Florizoone (of Nieuwpoort).
Roger Florizoone is a heavy fondplayer who
won 1st prize National on Barcelona.
And further, pigeons were regurarly exchanged
with friends Cl. de Mesmaeker and Eric
Limbourg. Doing so Louis always continues
to improve his pigeons. |
