Am equally proposals; I am Willem mielekamp and my hobby is the breeding of Meulemans pigeons. This from the old lines. Sometimes am cautious tried another line is to set up and then back to the old Meulemans-lines. The pencilled, dark and choco's. There are now 3 Janssen pigeons from the line of Mister Bond Eijerkamp and 2 of the 019 line. Further from the line of the witbuik Cees Gyzen: there are 3 descendants. This pigeons be tested with friends on achievement, and be crossed by then. I myself am began on 6 years of age, with 2 fancy pigeons of my nephew, and in 1969 I started to race in Eibergen of my pigeons, what directly already resulted in the best 3 On the afterflights in Eibergen (then a very large Association) in 1970 I operated 12 widowers in De Warme Bakker, M. Weeink in Eibergen. We were then as champion in the Achterhoek! Thereafter I handled the young pigeons of W. Grijsen in Eibergen, we became 2nd champion in the circle! (I was increasingly good for the sport is therefore), then, in case of my work, I moved into Winterswijk where I went to play when combined with Jan Dielen, where several championships and 1st prices were played, this is also in the circle! So with pigeons play I had good in the survey. Even on my own farm I've had several part prices and championships achieved! How I came to Meulemans? In the time that I played by Jan Dielen there was even a brown/white pigeon to fly, with Belgian ring, I was rather fascinated by this pigeon. Very compact, vital, very good more, and very beautiful eyes! After declare this pigeon, this was found to have of Karel Meulemans (grandson Kadet). Karel had this pigeon sold to Benny Ebbers to Diepenheim. He came to collect the pigeon and promised me a few young birds provide for the return of the pigeon. I have had very good results with them, as well as my friend Eric Prinsen, who also pigeons persuaded. I am still in 1983, a report of Karel meulemans made for De Vredesduif. I was very enamoured of this wonderful strain pigeons, which comprises the strain oude van den boschxblauwe duivin Janssen came! Well constructed strong and vital therefore I shall try to sometimes quite a fresh blood of good lines the strain which I now have, so as to build, that the good flight properties preserved. If you want to know more, you always can contact me, also for any young birds,

 

With sporting salute W. mielekamp.

My name is Brenda Hendriks. When I was young, I often visited my grandparents. And lots of time my granddad was on his dovecote. I never could thougt I could do the same. My granddad was always busy with his thief-pigeons and robbed lots of pigeons from other fanciers. After many years again the pigeons came into my life at my relationship with Willem Mielekamp. I finally understood what my granddad liked in those pigeons. They are marvillous. Willem has got Meulemans pigeons, racing pigeons, and he had a couple of Laudino Sevillano's. I liked this breed very much. Also because they are very clever and devoted. That, and the thief-sport, is having them so nice. In the meantime I took the maintenance and breed on my shoulders and I like that very much. I'm specialized in the red (deep-red) colour and I am trying to get that colour as intense as possible. My pigeons ar real good flyers. In the air they are very turnable and won't get tired quickly. As soon as they see another pigeon they are trying to get them to their own home. It is a sight for sore eyes to see them fly around. Would "having pigeons" still be in my genes ? In the meantime I named a cock after my granddad: Nardus. My granddad died 39 years ago but I think he would be a little bit proud of his granddaughter. If you became interested in the Laudino Sevillano, don't be shy, but contact us. We can tell you all about it!

 

Sincerely, Brenda Hendriks.

My name is Thijs Mielekamp, I'm 20 years old and I'm keeping Granadino pigeons. I'm keeping those birds now for like 2 years, and I'm trying to breed a specific color at this moment.

 

The thing I like about the Granadino is their character. The cocks are fierce, but can be nice though after good handling. The hens are having a more 'sweet' character.

 

Keeping Granadino's requires some patience, the birds (especially males) are not completely developed after + / - 5 years. I signifie with this their fly behavior and physical development (think about nose/wart-building efforts, for the cocks also under their beak).

 

You can easily breed with the Granadino's after one year. This is no problem, I only just let the youngsters raise by the Meulemans pigeons from my dad, because they've got a longer but also thinner beak and therefore the porridge improves better in the mouth of the young Granadino's.

 

I've got my Granadino's now for 2 years, and I've participated in several exhibitions, and try (with especially for myself) to breed the perfect pigeon. A good rating next to it is always welcome.

 

Beside the exhibitions I have flying some of my Granadino's. The cocks make next to their loftwork also nice work in the air.

 

If you might be interested in the Granadino, or have any questions, please go to "contact" and I will answer your questions as soon as possible.

 

Sincerely,

Thijs Mielekamp
