Meulemans Racing Pigeons

Meulemans Racing Pigeons

Early life

In 1946 moved Karel's parents, who were farmers, a farm on 3.5 hectares of land in Arendonk, (Belgium), where Karel Meulemans, to this day lives.

His first steps in the sport at age 12, he under the impetus his uncle Jan Bols. He was initially successful, with the exception of some nice results were obtained with pigeons by Adriaan Wouters. In 1961, Karel finally visited with his father, the lofts of Jos van den Bosch in Berlaar (Belgium) where 5 pigeons were purchased. These birds would provide the basis for the breed Meulemans, together with a hen of Adriaan Wouters in 1969 was introduced in the formation of the duo-Wouters Meulemans.

Wouters-Meulemans

Golden Couple

The main couple "Oude van den Bosch x Blue Janssen" was a host of top pigeons bred like Merckx, Junior, Kadet, Piet, Witneus, Schoon Donker, Liebling, Prins, Madelon and Benjamin. These pigeons were not only on the basis of the success of the Meulemans pigeons themselves, but also performed excellently in the lofts of many other seekers like Gommaire Verbruggen, Raymund Hermes, Willy Van Berendonck, William Geerts, Frans Moris, Stan Van Beemen, Horst Hackemer, Saville Penkin, Albert Babington, Spencer Jackson-Timbarra Lofts UK, etc. Numerous victories and have won national and international Olympiad pigeons to breed Meulemans achieved. The peak years reached the Wouters-Meulemans team in 1973 and 1974 when prizes were 32 1st and won 180 prizes in the top 10. In 1975, however, came with the death of Adriaan Wouters an end to the cooperation. The Wouters-Meulemans pigeons collection semi-total sold.

Meulemans-Mariën

In 1976 however a new team formed between Karel and Adrian Wouter's son, Frans Mariën. Again took Karels, who had his hands full on his farm for the breeding of pigeons, while Frans was the playing member of the team. Between 1976 and 1980 earned the Marien-Meulemans successes as a team with that of the former Wouters-Meulemans team at least equaled. The dominance of Frans Marien and Karel Meulemans was such that in the Zuiderkempen in 1978 were excluded in the middle distance races. Besides the descendants of the so-called Golden Couple "Oude Van den Bosch x Blue Janssen" also brought the descendants of a new super breeding pair "Blue Saelen x Oude Bourgeske" excellent results. Frans Marien's method of play hard, sometimes up to 2/3 of the race pigeons lost during the season, made it to growing resentment among "breeder" Karel Meulemans. He was, however, do not have the time to end the cooperation. In April 1980 Frans Marien committed suicide for reasons still unclear. By a clause in the cooperation contract, all the racing and breeding pigeons want to be sold with 20 pigeons in a way, where Karles had to pay as much for the 20 pigeons he kept than their encores in the auction had raised. For his precious collection of breeding pigeons in part to save Karel Meulemans was thus a financial drain to undergo, which gave him for an aversion to playing in team with other fans.

Meulemans-Damen

From 1981 Karel was therefore had to collaborate with his daughter and son in law. Despite the fact that the new Meulemans-Dame duo could offer a nice loft breeders took until 1984 before a first prize Étampes of the comeback Meulemans pigeons announced. That same year they became Champion Middle Distance Yearlings in Arendonk. The success was short lived. In 1985, 21 racing pigeons stolen from the loft, including 2 of the 4 pigeons that had helped win the championship. The heaviest blow cashed the loft Meulemans But the following year, when thieves, despite an alarm system, to get started with 29 top pigeons, including the legendary "Kadet". Between 1986 and 1989, Karel Meulemans not be anything other than breeding and again trying to build loft. He then right away took the opportunity to switch on long distance. These distances were actually always formed Karel's passion, but his former teammates Adriaan Wouters Frans Marien and never had to know something of the game at long distances.

the 90's

The Meulemans pigeons from the old line were now supplemented with pigeons from Karel Schellekens, Marien Pieterse, Georges Bolle and Van Gils. This "new" places Karel Meulemans pigeons early 90s back on the map with victories including Bourges, Montargis, Melun, Argenton and Limoges. A pigeon exchanges Leo Broeckx also showed a bull's eye. The Broeckx pigeons Karel had was the father of his pigeon Olympiad in Bazel in 1997. Broeckx 'pigeon was in turn to Karels's father loft "Jonge Kadet", 1st Limoges, Brive 1st and 2nd Chateauroux. Pigeons "Kadetje 2" (1st Bourges, 1st Argenton and 7th National Argenton) and "Den Brave" (first Narbonne, 1st Montauban and 1st Chateauroux) were the new superstars of the loft Meulemans. In 1995 put "Donkere Dax" the icing on the cake with a National win in Dax. Beautiful results from Brive and Cahors provided "Donkere Dax" the 8th National Ace Long Distance title. In 1996 a new golden trio born that Karel would be reminiscent of the happy years with Merckx, Junior and Kadet. "Pantani", "590" and "591" triumphed as the top long distance at Brive and Marseille. Their spectacular results gave Karel the highlight of his career. In 1999 he won the National Long Distance Championship. Karel Meulemans, the "Master Breeder" had finally proved that he is thus a "master player".

from 1999

Pigeonlofts January 2011

Such a result is of course even repeating for a great champion is not easy. Since 1999, however, express the Meulemans pigeons regularly made their mark on the distance events. New victories in Marseille, Cahors, Montauban, Bordeaux, Béziers, etc. confirmed the continuing value of the Meulemans pigeons for the sport. Meanwhile, the race to evolve, driven by Karel. New hybrids, including the Florizoone pigeons, the future without securing the value of the "Oude van den Bosch x Blue Janssen" strain from losing sight.

Van Elsackers De Wezel sire to Den 23

The advance of the main character started in the early eighties, after a golden purchase of a late youngster at René Michielsen. The pigeon "De Wezel" (B81-6603197) Serge took home, a Meulemans pigeon that developed as a true champion breeder. Almost every son he bred was a first prize winner but one of them was even a better breeder than al his brothers and his very own sire. Paired to "Blauwke Stoces" (B78-6226371) in 1984, “De Wezel” produced "Den 23" (B84-6336723), the absolute number 1 father of the loft of the Van Elsacker-colony. Amongst his direct children were a/o six (!) Ace Pigeons in the Antwerpen Union, two Olympiad pigeons and the 1st National acebird BDS in 1988. Especially paired to "Het Bourgeske"(B84-6336708), a Meulemans pigeon too, “Den 23" bred excellent offspring.

But not only "Den 23" was pure gold bred from "De Wezel", also "De Derby" was a bull’s eye hit. He won himself a/o 2nd provincial Orleans, 13th National Bourges 13,154 birds, 26th National Bourges 10,163 birds, etc. He became sire to "Montauban", who proved that Serge’s pigeons were also capable of racing supreme in long distance.

Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons Origin

Origin of the Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons Start

We have selected our stock birds aroung "DE 23" line down from De Wezel....

The advance for Van Elsacker pigeons started in the early eighties after the purchase of a late youngster at René Michielsen’s. Serge went home with "De Wezel" (B81-6603197), a Meulemans pigeon that appeared to be a super breeder. Nearly every single one of his sons were first prize winners and one of them was even better as a breeder compared to his brothers and even to his own father. “De Wezel” was coupled with "Blauwke Stoces" (B78-6226371) and they produced "Den 23" (B84-6336723) in 1984, the perfect n° 1 progenitor of the Van Elsacker colony.

Among "Den 23" direct offspring there are six Ace Pigeon in Union Antwerp, two Olympiad pigeons and the 1st National Ace Pigeon BDS in 1988. "Den 23" produced particularly excellent offspring when he was coupled with "Het Bourgeske"(B84-6336708), which is also a Meulemans pigeon.

Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons

The advance of the Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons main character started in the early eighties, after a golden purchase of a late youngster at René Michielsen. The pigeon "De Wezel" (B81-6603197) Serge took home, a Meulemans pigeon that developed as a true champion breeder.

Almost every son he bred was a first prize winner but one of them was even a better breeder than al his brothers and his very own sire. Paired to "Blauwke Stoces" (B78-6226371) in 1984, “De Wezel” produced "Den 23" (B84-6336723), the absolute number 1 father of the loft of the Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons-colony. Amongst his direct children were a/o six (!) Ace Pigeons in the Antwerpen Union, two Olympiad pigeons and the 1st National acebird BDS in 1988. Especially paired to "Het Bourgeske"(B84-6336708), a Meulemans pigeon too, “Den 23" bred excellent offspring.

But not only "Den 23" was pure gold bred from "De Wezel", also "De Derby" was a bull’s eye hit. He won himself a/o 2nd provincial Orleans, 13th National Bourges 13,154 birds, 26th National Bourges 10,163 birds, etc. He became sire to "Montauban", who proved that Serge’s pigeons were also capable of racing supreme in long distance. He became 1st Acebird overnight racing in the Antwerpen Union!

Bringing in pigeons of Willy van Berendonck and William Geerts the Meulemans based pigeons kept on playing a very important role in building up his own Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons stock … the Meulemans pigeons together with the Stoces pigeons through Maurits Bonte.

In 1993 "Castor" was born. His sire won 1st provincial Brive (713 km) and was paired at the time to a daughter of "Den 23". “Castor” was crowned 1st Acebird middle distance in the Antwerpen Union and he became one of the very best breeders. Probably his best son was "De Extra", winner of 7x 1st with amongst that 1st provincial and Interprovincial Vierzon. But just like all his family, "De Extra" proved not only to be a top gun in the air, but also a topper in breeding. He sired a/o "Indiana Jones" (B99-6252266), 1st acebird Antwerpen Union, 3rd National Acebird "De Reisduif" and 8th National Acebird KBDB!

In 1995 Serge Van Van Elsacker went to the entire clearance sale of Alfons Nijs from Arendonk. He took home two top pigeons, "De Jonge Witstaartstier" and "Geschifte Hofkens". Both cockbirds were paired to daughters of the Olympiad pigeon (so again descendants of "Den 23") and they became father and grandfather to a/o the 1st acebird in Southern Antwerpen Combine 1997, 2nd acebird Antwerpen Union yearlings 1998, 3rd acebird Hoogstraten 2000, 1st acebird Hoogstraten 2001, 4th acebird Southern Antwerpen Combine 1997, 1st National Bourges Zone, 2nd National Bourges 11,689 b., 5th acebird Union west 2004, etc.

Another topper is "De Geschifte" (NL97-6515179), he won many different 1st prizes and at an extra distance of almost 100 km he won 3rd National at an extreme heavy Bourges against 15,300 b. As a breeder too he was of seldom class. At least fifteen 1st prizes were won by children and grandchildren to him, the 4th National Bourges winner from 14,207 b. in 2004 is a descendant to this topper.

"De Hermelijn" (NL98-6156071), again a grandson to the legendary B84-6336723, is a topper. In 2001 he became 8th National Acebird middle distance KBDB and sire to a/o the 1st Acebird middle distance in Southern Antwerpen Combine ad 4th acebird middle distance 2001 HAFO Hoogstraten.

Of Heinz Brune & Son from Germany Serge became some Louis Deleus-pigeons. These pigeons were extremely well aware of their task (winning top positions) and that is why Serge himself went to Boortmeerbeek to purchase twenty direct ones at Deleus. Descendants of these pigeons have now won 1st provincial Chateauroux 2002 and 1st provincial Chateauroux 2003 (7 minutes lead!).
