Thomas Flitsch & Henning Ronsdorf – the 2 brothers…
The fact that envy and resentment are foreign words to Henning Ronsdorf can be seen from the fact that you have your biggest competitor in your best friend and yet you spend your hobbies and leisure time together. Henning and Thomas Flitsch can be seen together all the time and are therefore greeted everywhere with the words "here the 2 brothers are coming", despite the difference in age.
So Henning sees the community as the big "plus" in his pigeon hobby. Nevertheless, success also counts for Henning and he can and is proud of this success. But count for him not only the successes on their own loft, but also in particular the successes of his pigeons on other lofts. Since Henning for years only ever plays with the females, the birds from the 1st and 2nd breeding given. That is why birds also migrate to Thomas Flitsch every year and Herman & Phillip Kallen. With the first mentioned it comes then of course, before that, the pigeons from our own breeding place in the list before Henning or even contribute to that Thomas ends up ahead of Henning in the championship. You don't just play in the same regional association (405) or the large TG with 130 passengers blows, but are also in the same RV. Where else is there? - within a RV - but the two do everything together, have no breeding secrets from each other and supply their pigeons same care plan.
Henning supplies his pigeons exclusively with the products of Company Klaus and why not, the success finally proves him right. Through the daily exchange with Hermann Kallen and Thomas Flitsch, the procedures are even discussed weekly. Also the regular friendly contact with the Klaus family always plays a big role and the tips from Peter and Otto Klaus are in the "Friends' round" constantly discussed and implemented. Nevertheless there is in the Supply for years a common thread, so will attach great importance to the protein supply over the week. Henning uses the Products Silver Arrow 1, Picorin and GeNies powder. This is supplemented with Iodoferrol, Bronchenfrei and Trevit. For Henning the gift of However, as for Hermann and Thomas, CTP is a large piece of the puzzle the weekly supply during the exhausting travel time.
When it comes to travel food, Henning trusts the food from AgriV from Sonsbeck, their varieties were mixed in close cooperation with Hermann Kallen. Over the course of the year, the types of food become Evergreen Basis, Evergreen Power and Supra Relax lined. Also in the breeding and moulting period he uses this food assortment and feeds it, for example the evergreen breeding, which he also uses in the moult.
Over the years, Henning repeatedly pointed out deficits in the mineral supply of the pigeons. For a few years only Products from the company Klaus are used for the daily needs cover minerals.
Progenitor 186
Many always speak of stock birds of a breed. With the "186" one can really speak of a master bird. He comes from Horst Klein from Halver, is very well known, and really an exceptional breeding bird, which still represents the basis of Henning Ronsdorf's breeding today, so not only the direct children flew, but also grandchildren and great-grandchildren of "186". The current performance pigeons from 2020 are again from the line of the "186". The 905 with 12/10 prizes (great-grandchildren), she became the 5th ace hen in RegV 405, the 24 with 12/11 prizes (great-grandchildren), and the 26 (grandchildren) with 2 x 1st prizes in 2020. In 2019 "Mia" (01943-18-1), a full sister to 24, provided 13/12 Pr. 1016 AsPkt. cause a stir.
The breeding loft is supplemented, due to the many descendants of the line of "186" with very special pigeons. Through the friendships that Henning cultivates, his loft has been supplemented by pigeons from Bert de Ceuninck, Thomas Flitsch and Hermann Kallen. Meanwhile there is a son of "Albert" 1. AsVogel BRD 2019, as well as a sister and two brothers. The first successes from the addition could already be seen at the young race, the best youngster of the loft is already a cross between a great-grandson of the 186 and a sister of the AsVogel "Albert" also 2 x 1. Bankruptcy could already come from the crossing of the lines are gained. Bert de Ceuninck's pigeons have long been among the pigeons that have enriched the stock. So the females are "1-Mia" and "24" from a bird by Bert. In the breeding year 2021, a daughter of the super female "957" from the SG Kallen and a daughter of the ReiseAs "97" will strengthen the breeding loft.
