The Louis Van Loon Pigeon History:
The Louis Van Loon-pigeons. Nearly everybody knows the name Louis Van Loon… simply because the man has raced extremely well in the middle distance and the extreme middle distance races in Belgium for years. Superior pigeon game for which he was ‘shown the door’ in several clubs… was simply excluded from the racing environment… for being too ‘strong’, too ‘dominant’… too ‘superior’ for the competitors. Provincial and national victories brought the Van Loon colony international interest. Top performances which didn’t escape the watchful eye of the outside world… and sent many fanciers on a pilgrimage to Poppel… looking for reinforcements, which they hoped to found, and indeed did find… in the ‘top class’ Louis Van Loon.
The successes were in keeping… today a heap of fanciers owe their successes to the introduction of these Louis Van Loon-pigeons into their colony, both at home and abroad! The Van Loon pigeon is currently well-known as a pigeon that can be crossed easily… that’s why a great number of current top fanciers have been successful in crossing their own (often inbred) pigeons with these of the grandmaster from the Belgian Poppel! It would be too much to name all the names as this would result in this report taking on the proportions of a book…
we would also be running the risk of forgetting people. That’s why we will limit ourselves to just a few examples of real ‘toppers’ who have pulled themselves up to the absolute top… with pigeons which a largely based on the wondrous Van Loon-pigeons.

Louis Van Loon is my grandfather. He was born in Weelde, near Poppel and at the age of 7, he became an orphan. In his younger years, life hasn't been easy for him. As a child, I spend many weekends with my dear grandparents. For me, this was home. I loved to help him with the pigeons. Even when I got older and had children myself, I kept helping my grandparents wherever possible. At the end, I was by his side during his last night. Still now, I pass their house few times a week because I miss them so much ♡

Thank you for sharing. His expertise as a pigeon fancier has resulted in his lines being strong competitors in the race until now.
