Breeding team
Since the star with youngsters in 2018, Albert went straight to the top! BLITZ-cock is the absolute nr. 1 breeder; the base line are daughter of ‘De Lamme’ from Jo Claeskens (BE), who is a very good friend. Furthermore a direct son of ‘Gigi’ Alwin Petrie and a granddaughter of ‘Goed Grijs’ Gebr. Leideman are topbreeders! As much as possible the best racers are placed in the breeding team. With only 8 breeding pairs, there’s only room for the very best.

In 2024 Albert will only race with youngsters and about 10 yearlings … from the older racing pigeons, born in 2022 and earlier, the best are selected and shall be sold on Hansen-website. Hens were also raced as yearling or 2 years old; cocks were only raced as youngster.

We wish Albert all the best in the new season 2024!
