"The King of Speed" Maurice Hasendonck

- the pigeon master who made the pigeons of Leo Hermans

Leo Hermans ended his pigeon breeding in 2013 A while ago, I visited his house again. He told me an open secret among Belgian pigeon masters. These masters monopolized a pigeon named Maurits Haesendonckx and created a lot with his pigeons Brilliant. Maurice Hasendonk has become a hermit among the masters.

Mr. Maurice Hassendonk, who lives in Antwerp, Belgium, is 76 years old this year and enjoys a high reputation in the Belgian pigeon industry As we all know, the province of Antwerp is a place where experts gather, and Maurice Hasendonk is a master of the masters. He has a high degree of knowledge in the breeding of racing pigeons . Due to his old age, the old gentleman will only be more advanced. Few pigeons participated in the race but still achieved great results. For example, in the 2011 national race from Bourges (I), Mr. Maurice easily won the 23rd national prize against 24,676 old birds with only 5 pigeons.

Maurice Hasendonck's pigeons are very popular on Belgium Leo Hermans is a big fan of his pigeons. Leo Hermans first The father of the breeding cock "Yang" is inherited from Mr. Hasendonk's famous "Little Gray 115"; "Ace Pigeon 426", Tango, Ace Pigeon 044, Ace Pigeon 634, etc. are also from Hasendonk; the famous "Ace Pigeon" "Euro" has three-quarters of Hasendonck bloodlines; Eijerkamp's super breeder "Rosie" comes from "Little Blue 115"...

After several The Netherlands introduced his pigeons , frequently created NPO national champions. William De Boon is one of them. At the end of each season, he will rush back to the old man to add new blood to his loft. Scharacen, well-known to domestic fanciers Sir, pigeons from Hasendonck have been imported a few years ago.Pigeon fanciers from France, Holland and Germany are even more attracted to it, and they don't hesitate to spend a lot of money for an excellent breeder .

The reason why Mr. Morris' pigeons are excellent is not only his experience in raising pigeons, but also his excellent bloodlines. Pigeons with excellent pedigree, regardless of skeleton structure, muscle feathers, or wing conditions, are all excellent. Even if they are just held in their hands, they will give people a strong shock, and their future racing results will be self-evident. Because Maurice Hasendonck's pigeons are always pre-booked, he never has to work hard to advertise. His pigeons don't have a fancy pedigree, they just register their ring numbers according to tradition, which is difficult for even champion pigeons to show on the pedigree. When asked about his pedigree results, he smiled and said: Do you want good pigeons or a nice piece of paper!

When you often see numbers starting with 6 and Maurice in the pedigrees of famous pigeons such as Leo Hermans and William Debone .Hasendonk's name, you will really admire him, Maurice Hasendonk, a man who works wonders of speed.

Gold quality hen B96-6165098 "Goud klompje"

Leo Heremans attended the pigeons from Grobbendonk out of his thirst for super pigeons Friends Hasendonckx Brothers Auction. He knew that the brothers' pigeons were of good quality, and after some hands-on observations, he took the blue hen B96-6165098 and the hen B95-6296954.After the auction, he went straight to the original owner, who had never seen the brothers before. He asked straight to the point: "How is the quality of the pigeons I photographed?" The brothers were a little stunned. They handed Leo a list of the auctions, on which the Hasendonck brothers carefully marked their own pigeons. The "098/96" that Leo bought was the one with the best quality.

Leo named this hen "Golden Hen" and she would later become "Wonder Ace", "Mother Euro" and "Gertje". 954/95 is an outstanding racing hen in her own right, having bred three generations from the Leo loft in Vousselaar: the famous Goudvinkje, 148/99 (5 wins) , Chrisje (1st National Ace Pigeon), Wonder Ace (best hen in Belgium), 444/00 (7 wins) and 166 (9 wins). Super pigeons such as "Golden Hen" and "Golden Hen" bred from the Hasendonck brothers, then the legendary "Good White Bar" paired with "Golden Hen" had a profound impact on the Belgian pigeon sport.

1998 was the first season of the Heremans-Ceusters, and their performances weren't too impressive. Leo still holds the belief that more investment is needed to introduce the best pigeons. This time, he focused on Maurice Hasendonckx, the uncle of the Hasendonck brothers. At that time, Maurice was a very good racer, famous for flying 8 widowers. It was these 8 widowers that Leo wanted to buy.

"You can only buy youngsters from them." Maurice replied to Leo's request, and Leo bought some of their youngsters. And some of the youngsters he bought back from direct Maurice Hasendonks became the town breeders. For example, there is B98-6110722 "Favoriet", its children are "Natalia", its grandchildren are "Den Euro" (Den Euro) and "Wellens" (Wellens) ; in addition there is B98-6110700 "700 Duivin" (700 Duivin), which is a youngster of "40" (7 times) and grandchild of "Euro"; in addition, there is also B98-6110712 super breeder Female "Geschelpte Maurice",He was paired with Git to 426/00 (1st National Ace Pigeon & 5x) and Freya (1x) as well as Tango, Tulip , these are Leo's valuable breeders.
