During our Belgium visit in April 2011, we were also fortunate enough to visit Luc,Bart and Jurgen Geerinckx. They have amazing results yearly on Provincial and National Level.
We decided to purchased a select few of their line, as well as some crossed with the fantastic ‘CHIPO LINE” of Benny Steveninck.
They have been successfull in their first season at stock.
We concentrated on the following birds in the Geerinckx line:
“GLADIATOR”
“WITTEKOP SYLVESTER”
‘WILLYKE”
“CHIPO”
“WITTEKOP SYLVESTOR” & “WILLYKE” is their Foundation Pair. They have also introduced the super lines of Benny Steveninck into their family line.
CHIPO LINE OF BENNY STEVENINCK
Benny Steveninck's Super Pair, Parents of "Chipo" and a host of other Super Pigeons!This pair represented above has produced many great pigeons but one of the true “jewels” is the incomparable “Chipo”. How good is “Chipo”? Well so good that there is currently a two year backlog for receipt of any of his direct children. You would need to wait a minimum of two years and you would be lucky to get one because the line already ahead of you is long and quite distinguished.
"Chipo" the Super pigeon. Champions in Europe are lining up for two years to purchase his sons and daughters!
“Chipo” was born in 2003 in Hamme, part of the East Flanders a Belgian province that calls itself home, (at the time), to over 11,000 racing pigeon fancier. To put that into perspective that is almost 5 times the number of fanciers registered in Canada in the entire CRPU.”Chipo” (B03-439022) in the year of his birth brought an incredible success to his breeder Benny Steveninck. As a youngster his results were fantastic, so much so in fact that “Chipo” was crowned the very best Middle Distance pigeon provincially. Yes he won the “Ace Pigeon competition” as a young bird and immediately there were offers to purchase this young superstar “Chipo” but Benny , wisely, refused to sell, remaining content to campaign him again as a yearling to discover just how good he really was. The easy decision would have been to take the money but long term the right decision was to thoroughly test the cock to insure future long term success. Benny was not disappointed as “Chipo” moved from strength to strength! A quality pigeon, if allowed to compete will repeatedly show his qualities.
