What is Flanders Collection?
Flanders Collection is one of the most unique collections of original De Rauw-Sablon and Aelbrecht pigeons. They house no less than 85 of these most coveted pigeons in the current pigeon sport. But what makes them so unique?! Flanders Collection is not just any old collection, no! This is a collection of super breeding and racing pigeons, all out this “Golden Pedigree De Rauw-Sablon”. A never before seen collection of one for one proven TOP- breeders and excellent performing pigeons. This is unique in the world. Breeding first prize racers is essential for a ticket to enter the golden breeding loft Flanders Collection! A breeding pigeon which has not submitted top performances after 2 years in the breeding loft is immediately removed. There is only room for the best, the crème de la crème! For this, a very strong selection is needed of course. And who can do this better than the great master in the current day pigeon sport, namely Frans Sablon. Frans Sablon is a very close friend of the Flanders Collection and selects all the pigeons which reside in the lofts. Nothing escapes the notice of Frans Sablon. No preferential treatment for pigeons with a nicer pedigree, the quality prevails above everything. Only the toppers remain. To bring the quality to world level Frans Sablon also helps with the coupling of the pigeons, as such that they could also build up a breeding loft with an eye to the future out their own breed and bring more top pigeons into the world. It is an honour that a man like Frans Sablon, the man who managed to produce a super pedigree twice in no time at all, will couple and select the pigeons in our loft.
What does the Flanders Collection stand for?
One can confidently say that in the pigeon sport there has never been a pedigree as dominant as “De Rauw-Sablon” in the National Ace pigeon parade! There was not a moment over the last 20 years when this superior pedigree didn’t account for a national Ace pigeon title. One thing is indispensible for this, namely top quality! And that is what the Flanders Collection stands for. Flanders Collection guarantees only the best. They see it as their personal mission to keep this “Ace pigeon machine” running over the entire world. This is then also one of the reasons why a man so as Frans Sablon supports this young ambitious team for 100%. An example of this unseen treasure of top quality in the lofts of Flanders Collection is that they have no less than two Original De Rauw-Sablon pigeons in the lofts which have already producedNational winners, something unique in the current pigeon world. This, together with an unseen treasure of other original De Rauw-Sablon pigeons which have already produced numerous 1st prize racers, is the reprehensible proof of pure top class, top quality!
What is their aim?
- To retain the excellent quality of this superior pedigree, both in their own loft as in the lofts of their customers.
- To keep this “Golden Pedigree” with its immeasurable breeding power pure and unadulterated, so that the customers have the ideal inbreed product to cross with their own pedigree.
- To create the ideal mix of Top performances with Top lineage.
- To let the entire pigeon world enjoy this unseen source of quality to ensure the eternal fame of this super pedigree.
- Mass production is not an option! A few times a year a limited number of selected pigeons offered for sale via PiPa.
This is a short but clear look at the vision of the Flanders Collection. It is the intention that via Flanders Collection people are able to obtain this top material, so that this never before known stream of Ace pigeons and national winners can keep flowing over the entire world.
What do they have under their roof?
The “Flanders Collection” can be divided into three categories.
- Firstlythere is the extensive collection of numerous proven breeding pigeons, all original De Rauw-Sablonpigeons.
- Secondly they possess one of the most unique collections of original Aelbrecht pigeons, once again all proven breeders and/or racers.
- Thirdlythey also have a modest collection of original Pros Roosen pigeons, the man who had numerous successes with the “golden” input of the De Rauw-Sablon pedigree.
