Origin of pigeons
The pigeons of the family Rutz and sons from Blieskastel made the beginning, these were breeding pigeons "Angelina".
But also animals of the old master Werner Bölting from Bocholt have been immortalized in the present stem. And again, there were pigeons of his teacher Rudolf Grün from Wincheringen preoccupied here for great performances.
The mother of national champion Marseille 06823-11-33 "Danedream", the Belg-02-3202909 "lotta" came as a gift from Rudolf Grün at the close.
The breeding hen "Lotta" is original by Emiel Denys from Zulte. The old Stichelbout tribe of Denys pop up here, like "Adonis" and "Signorita", but in combination with the old Van de routes "Witpen van de routes". Father of national champion is drawn "De Sastre", both the 06823-05-281 from originals by Werner Bölting. The mother of the "281" is a subsidiary of the "207", 1 as bird at Badboy 2000. Finest long distance blood thus dominated the lineage of Marseille winner 2014.
Look in the travel impact of Marseille winner 2014.
Method
With about 30 is in Hamlet at the start. Travel is on widower.
14 days before a long haul flight, the pigeons will be protected. When feeding, it leaves nothing to chance. The travel feed consists of four different top blends, including dominate the Beyers blends "Brilliant", "TT-Longdistance" and "23 Super diet". If the long distance pigeons are used usually on Monday evening, Markus Becker feeds the mixture "Diet 23" by Beyers until Wednesday morning in the previous week. Only in the last five days is fully lined. In addition, there are then shelled sunflower seeds and hemp seeds. In the cells there is a mixture of 50% hemp, 50% seeds, always a teaspoon full. The quality of the travel feed for Markus Becker is paramount to success. The food must be free of dust and germinable. Also the feed additives such as "Bioflorum", "Urtica Chlorella mineral Mix" and "Grit Mix" are on the agenda.
Earlier, under Select this roof wines vinified and refined. Excellence in the pigeon sport obtained here today.
The pigeon sport as a hobby.
National victory, Marseille, everything remains named after this dream result with Markus Becker. He will continue the game on the large long distance with plenty of rest and commitment. Bitterly, he will never see the pigeon sport, for him, it remains the most beautiful hobby in the world.
