"In pigeon racing, there is only one thing that is important, and that is to have the best pigeons, and everything else is nonsense", when a fancier visited the loft of Van Loon and was asked about the secret of his pigeons flying so well, the old man of Van Loon said the most classic phrase in the pigeon world.
Chinese fanciers prefer pigeons of the Fanlong bloodline, and the reason why these pigeons are respected by Chinese fanciers is mainly because this type of pigeon is not only fast and stable in the pigeon farm, can adapt to the test of various weather, the release of sunny days is known for its speed, bad weather can also be stable homecoming, these qualities are also adapted to the current multi-level racing format, with this type of pigeon to participate in the race, often stand out in the race, get excellent results!
Louis. Born into a family of pigeon breeders in Belgium, Van Loon was influenced by his father's pigeon breeding, which laid the foundation for becoming a famous pigeon breeder.
Louis. Van Loon is world-famous and his pigeons have dominated the major middle distance races in Belgium for many years. It was precisely because his pigeons often won in races that the fanciers were jealous that the local fanciers refused to compete. Fan Long has achieved very good results in his life, and the number of provincial championships and national champions is not enough. Many fanciers come to buy his pigeons and many pigeon masters have introduced Luis. Pigeons of Van Dragon ancestry include the Dutch Ayakap family, the Dutch Kaufmann and Shaus de Valle. Based on the bloodline of the van dragon, these masters have created countless myths about the pigeon race. His fanlong pigeon breed has been through the world's greatest competitions.
There is also such a story about the pigeons of Van Loong, it is said that two Englishmen came to the Van Loon loft that year, and the simple Van Loon warmly welcomed each other, and the good food and drink were served. When the two Englishmen offered to see the pigeons, Mr. Van Loon unguardedly agreed to their request. Unexpectedly, these two people took out a very fashionable magnifying glass to look at all the pigeons in the loft, and used the method of looking at the pigeons' eyes to identify the quality of the pigeons, which was not popular at the time, and Mr. Fanlong's life was also the first time to see such a way of looking at pigeons, let them choose at will, so the two of them selected more than a dozen pigeons from the Van Long loft and gave a generous offer. Van Loon was not very wealthy at that time, relying only on the meager income of the driver to support the family, although the pigeons brought countless first prizes, but at that time the prize money was very small. So Mr. Van Long also accepted the offer without hesitation. A year later, the pigeons of these two brothers began to emerge in the competitions, and the two Englishmen were the Belanit brothers who would later become famous in the world of pigeon. The two brothers carried forward the Van Dragon pigeon breed.
The story comes to the Van Loon loft again, since the Belanit brothers picked out more than a dozen breeding pigeons with the bottom mirror, Van Loon has rarely achieved a record, the Fan Loon pigeon breed is completely occupied by the Belanit brothers, with the age of the older, Luis. Van Loong also gradually withdrew from pigeon racing. Seeing this, we can understand why Monsieur Van Loon uttered the classic sentence at the beginning of the article: "Remember my words, in pigeon racing, only one thing is important, that is, to have the best pigeons, everything else is nonsense!" ”。
A few years later, the story of the Belanit brothers seeing pigeons in pigeon eyes spread to China, and everyone followed suit.
