We like the idea of entering the sport with great ambition but as we all know, one cannot become a great champion overnight. It takes a clear vision, a solid approach and a clever strategy, and that basically summarises the philosophy behind the PIPA Elite Center.
The impressive breeding qualities of breeding bird Kannibaal (Dirk Van Dyck) had not gone unnoticed by Nikolaas Gyselbrecht and his keen eye for talent. Kannibaal is probably the only Belgian 1st National Ace Pigeon Middle Distance KBDB that did not get sold after winning his title, fortunately enough.
It would have meant the loss of an invaluable bloodline, and it makes us wonder: how many renowned Belgian bloodlines did we lose over the years, by selling our national ace pigeons to the far east? We can imagine there are quite a few of them, and Nikolaas wanted to do something about it. He founded his own breeding loft called the PIPA Elite Center (PEC).
