Th. & Povl Pedersen

This combination is Thomas & Povl Pedersen – son Thomas and father Povl.

Read this text in Danish here – english below:

Povl Pedersen is 85 years old and has raced pigeons since 1955 where he had the pigeons on the roof above the smithy of the parents. In 1970 he built a loft in the garden next to the smithy – so he has always raced from his childhood home in V. Skerninge on the island of Funen in Denmark. In 2000 he built a new loft in belgian style.

In all years pigeons have been in the family so the son Thomas grew up with pigeons – and he became a member in 1983 when he was 14 years old.

Povl has always been a succesful fancier and his pigeons have always been very calm on the loft – something which other fanciers know. Povl has always been a really good fancier – selecting and finding the right breeding pigeons but also selecting and motivating the racing pigeons prior to the different races.

The biggest passion for Povl has always been the one-day longdistance races. Especially the tough races – and many championships have been won because of the toughness, the will and the vitality in the family of pigeons.

Looking at the map you can also see that with all races from south the pigeons have to pas the water to fly home.

In the loft in V. Skerninge they have only had a few breeding pigeons but they have always had a fantastic collaboration and friendship with Svend Kaergaard in the club of 166 Bogense.

All breeding pigeons have been purchased together with Svend – who also has had very good results with these pigeons.

In 2015 Thomas built a pigeon loft of his own on his own property and some of the breeding pigeons went there. Always the best racing pigeons have been selected for the breeding loft after a good career.

Thomas also started racing with his own family – in the name of “Team Bang” – but continued also racing with his father in the name of “Th. & Povl Pedersen”. Now Team Bang is racing very well – winning 1. Championship Longdistance Unnominated and 2. Champion Longdistance Nominated in 2020 – primary with the same pigeons as Th. & Povl Pedersen.

In the combination Th. & Povl Pedersen, Povl has been the loftmanager and Thomas has helped with some administration. In the recent years also Lis, the wife of Povl, has been a great help – unfortunately Povl got problems with the health.

Therefore Povl and Thomas decided to sell the whole racingteam from the combination Th. & Povl Pedersen – all old pigeons and the rest of the youngsters from 2020 – the same family that won the Longdistance Championship both nominated and unnominated plus the great championship 6 years in a row from 2013-2018!

The family hope that other fanciers can continue the legacy of Povl Pedersens life with pigeons from the loft in V. Skerninge!!

It is with pride that Povl is ending his career with pigeons on the very top – and Thomas and him are hoping that their family of pigeons can continue to win prizes in many years to come.

M&C Hansen is extremely proud to be able to present this fantastic group of pigeons to our friends all over the world.

Below you will find a fantastic list of results achieved with these pigeons – and a deeper presentation of these pigeons.

Good luck!

The TOUGH family:

The baseline of this foundation family comes from an import from Fred Bloor & Son of Charlton Mackrell, UK.
This strain was built by pigeons from Pol Bostyn and Stichelbaut – and in combination with Vermote and Deweerdt pigeons they gave a fantastic strengh and toughness. The foundation hen on the loft became 000-01-0033 – and the 3 basicpigeons today are still:

Grandfather and greatgrandfather to several 1. Prize winners and acepigeons!

The foundation hen 000-01-0033 was a granddaughter of these 4 pigeons:

The DE RAUW SABLON family:

Another very important line at the loft is the line from the De Rauw Sablon strain.
In 2010 they purchased 000-09-0021 BLACK JACK – a nephew of the famous EAGLE EYE 1. National Acepigeon LCB 2009 – also a hen THE DIAMOND was purchased with DE SLIMMEN origins in – the grandfather of EAGLE EYE.

From the same lines they purchased 3 hens:
033-10-0310 MISS SABLON – grandmother to 013-12-1323 WONDER GIRL – the best hen they ever raced – best acepigeon in both 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 5 x 1. prize winner!
033-10-0306 – grandmother to 1. Provincial Gottingen
033-10-1684 – the mother to another great star on the loft – THE RAKET – a lot of topprizes and acepigeon in both 2017-2018-2019.

In 2011 they purchased a direct Vandenheede pigeon BE-11-4244390 BLUE VANDENHEEDE – a super breeding pigeon – and father to one of the superstars SIMPLY THE BEST – double 1st prize winner and acepigeon 2015-2019.

Last but not least they bought RAALE FRIDA from a M&C Hansen auction – and she became the maybe best breeding pigeon they ever had – and she was also the mother to WONDER GIRL.

Here are some of the pigeons mentioned above:
