2025
In 2025, we started with 24 yearling hens, which were paired with 10 cocks.
In addition, 32 young hens flew with 1 young cock.
Due to a paramyxo infection in our flying area, we have results with and without VG this year.
Ultimately, in the Speed Championship in Division 9:
3rd Unspecified
3rd Specified
In our CC4 co-operation, we achieved:
1. Speed Overall
2. Speed Specified
3. Speed Overall (− VG)
4. Speed Specified (− VG)
5. Middle-distance (Midfond) Overall
6. Middle-distance Overall (− VG)
7. Young Overall
8. Ace Pigeon (Vitesse) with **24-226** (1st Ace Young, division 9, 2024)
9. Loft Champion (Speed / Vitesse)
10. Loft Champion (Midfond)
11. Loft Champion (Young)
In the mid-distance club, we were **3rd Ace** with **24-773**, a daughter of *Archie*, the first pigeon obtained from **Falco Ebben** in 2025.
He (Archie) is, among others, the father of top breeder **Coen** and his brother **Bernie**.
Except for 2023 (when we did not participate), we have always managed to win a division flight — and we did so again this year:
2025 with *Double Dizy* (grand-daughter of the base pair, daughter of *Dizy*)
2025, by 1 second, *Fons’s Choice* (grand-daughter of the base pair, daughter of *Andrea’s Choice*)
2025 with *Golden Dizy* (grand-daughter of the base pair, daughter of *Dizy*)
2022 with Always
2021 with Three Times, sister of Dizy (daughter of the base pair)
So all in all, it's been a nice, sporty year.
