On 24th I pay a visit to Bart Geerincks, from which I purchased 10 offspring with great strains. Throughout the this visit we changed opinions about the preparation of pigeons and about their care. The culmination of discussions about racing and breed was achieved, of course, in the period I served meal with my good friend Bart.

From Bart Geerincks I went to Gaby Vandenabeele who also gave me great value offsprings. As always we had a lot of very interesting discussions about pigeons and canaries. Both Mr. Gaby Vandenabeele and his brother before getting involved in pigeons sport have been and are canaries fanciers. I ofer him with all my heart some very nice slavujar canaries, goldfinch, hybrids and bullfinch, from Team Slavujar golden collection.

Last visit was at Stefaan Lambrechts, a great name both in Belgium and internationally. Stefaan Lambrechts is one of breeders which will have a very nice results in the future.

I was very excited about Stefaan Lambrechts pigeons qualities. Being very impressed I decided to buy 100 offsprings. In my opinion Stefaan Lambrechts is one of the best breeders of short and medium distance.
