Carlo Gyselbrecht has been cherishing the bloodlines of his Laureaat Barcelona. This pigeon is the cornerstone of his highly successful breeding loft, which is based around Laureaat Barcelona and the descendants of Turbo (including his daughter Delphine), Schumacher and King. These long distance champions originate from the invaluable Vanbruane breed.
Within this foundation Carlo could not have thought of a better successor than his great-grandchild New Laureaat, which won of a 1st International Barcelona 2013 and the Gouden Vleugel award (for Luc Wiels). His dam was bred by the experienced fancier Carlo Gyselbrecht, and it saw the light of day in Knesselare. Click here for the pedigree of the dam of New Laureaat. After his spectacular result from Barcelona he was summoned by the PEC and Hugo Batenburg. Needless to say, the genes of both these iconic Barcelona champions are being combined almost limitlessly in the breeding lofts of Carlo Gyselbrecht.
An unfamiliar bloodline is introduced into the existing breed on a regular basis as well, which is crucial if you want to maintain a high level of quality in your loft. The team is always looking to obtain bloodlines of the strongest extreme long distance racing birds of today, which are then incorporated into their current breed. This breeding strategy has proven very successful in the Gyselbrecht racing lofts of Remi and his brother Andre. A good example of this approach is the introduction of pigeons of Anton & Lucie Vanderwegen, including super class pigeon Bijou. She can be found in the pedigrees of New Laureaat, Nathan, Schumacher, Dax 111, and numeorus other successful racing birds.
