Viewing this video last week about Michel Lossignol the Gouden Duif winner for Belgium 2020 reminded me of the two youngster we bought from his number one breeder ‘OLYMPIC LOSSIGNOL’ earlier in the summer. With the help of Darren May they were imported to North Wales and have been sitting in an aviary for a while maturing.
I searched them out and as very pleased indeed with the very quick progress they have made and the quality individuals they are becoming.
Both are small to medium sized and very muscular. The cock ‘Cyclone’ is a little ahead of his sister ‘Superbontje’ in the moult however both are soft and like silk in the feathering and will mature in plenty of time to reinforce our breeding loft for next season.

‘Cyclone’…

‘Cyclone’ and ‘t’Superbontje’ not only have the winning genes loaded on the fathers side but the mother is pretty much loaded to ‘capacity’ herself.

‘t’Superbontje’..

It was not the looks or feathering they were purchased for but their winning DNA. Take a look at their pedigrees and its easy to see DNA loading on every strand of the bloodline. Generations of Olympic Champions, National Aces and National winners.
They are essentially of Heremans Ceusters origin when they were at their peak in the Antwerp Union and subsequently went on to win at every level for many fanciers around the world. The Dutch Champion Willem de Bruijn was quick to see the potential and purchased a few round of youngsters to race himself direct from Leo Heremans main breeders. He did this for a few years and the survivors are the birds to beat at the middle distance in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands at the moment.
Every generation was raced and tested in South Holland one of the most competitive areas of Europe with massive birdage every week.
Many fanciers have become super successful with these ‘New Age’ Heremans Ceusters but non more so than Michel Lossignol and his right hand man Geert, and I thank them once again for allowing me select from his number one breeder.
