Next to this fantastic racing hen, we have different NPO winners and winners against massive numbers of pigeons. It was hard to convince Peter to put them in auction but our clients will be extremely happy with the selection that Peter van de Merwe have made for P-BAY. Another top bird in the auction is “SISTER JILL” (NL16-1528061). She won herself 16. Nat. Ace Bird The Netherlands 2016 and is a sister to fabulous “JILL” who won 1. Nat.

The NPO Grand Master of Dordrecht

Peter van de Merwe (NL.)

Coming into Dordrecht following the GPSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; direction towards Peter van de Merweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house you get the eerie feeling the tiny computer in the dashboard of your car has made a mistake. Dordrecht has the looks and feel of a very busy city and even as you start to leave the bypass the GPS seems to steer you towards what looks almost as an industrial area. Who would be keeping pigeons in such an environment? 4

However, a couple of turns later and the landscape completely changes. Turning left unto one of those dykes the Netherlands are famous for you suddenly find yourself riding high above green fields with grazing horses and near the rooftops of the houses sheltered by the dyke you’re driving on. Small stairways and scattered driveways lead to the houses below. Peter van de Merwe’s house is a bit difficult to find, but once you do the busy city of Dordrecht is immediately forgotten. It’s almost like you’ve come to an oasis in the desert. A nice house in the middle of green fields and small waterways, some plum trees in the garden, a sheep, a pony and of course the pigeonlofts. No passing traffic. Everything’s quiet. What a great place to live. If I were a pigeon I would surely hurry back home to such a paradise after being released. And that’s exactly what Peter van de Merwe’s birds are doing: racing back home at the highest speed possible. Aged 48 Peter is still a young fancier in the relatively greyhaired pigeon sport world. Nevertheless he’s been active since 1985 and it has to be said: his 34 year track record is very impressive indeed. Ever since his uncle Piet started him off with 11 youngsters Peter has shown his talent over and over again turning him into an international star. Meanwhile his young daughter Gwen is following in her father’s footsteps to secure the fame of the van de Merwe loft for the future. The first decade of Peter’s pigeon sport career saw him develop his potential under the watchful eye of his uncle Piet and his father Arie. Peter was entirely focused on enlarging his knowledge and getting experience, a process that is usually accompanied by ups and downs but in Peter’s case by immediate success. The initial small loft for 11 birds was therefore quickly replaced by a 21 meter loft suited for larger numbers of pigeons and Peter’s impressive start in the same fashion made way for a phenomenal follow up in results in the nineties. His National victory as a Youth member made sure people started noticing him and Peter quickly proved he was not just a one day phenomenon by adding another 6 first NPO prizes in the next couple of years, putting the cherry on the cake in 2001 when his “Gwen”, named after his daughter, became 1st National Acepigeon young birds of the Netherlands. That year he also won another 1st National NPO, this time from Creil against 22725 pigeons. He also took a 4th and a 9th in that same race and scored a 3rd National NPO Ablis against 21009 pigeons as well.

“Since 1985 his birds have made their mark on the Dutch pigeon sport scene…” The years that followed were no different: 1st and 6th National NPO Sourdun against 18339 pigeons in 2002, 3rd National NPO from Chantilly against 12108 pigeons, 5th and 8th National Troyes against 12067 pigeons the same year, 3rd National NPO Chantilly twice in 2003, 2nd and 7th National NPO Chateauroux against 12074 pigeons in 2004 as well as a 4th, 5th and 7th National NPO Peronne against 17932 pigeons, 4th National NPO Le Mans against 34932 pigeons and 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th National NPO Ablis in 2005, another National NPO victory in 2006, this time from Chantilly against 30074 pigeons and a stunning series of 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th National NPO Ablis against 15004 pigeons, 2nd, 5th and 10th National NPO Peronne against 30423 pigeons in 2007, another 1st National NPO Ablis against 15871 pigeons and a 2nd and 3rd National NPO Sezanne against 21720 pigeons in 2008, no less than 2 National NPO victories in 2009 (Ablis against 18911 pigeons and Blois sector 2 against 15172 pigeons), another 1st National NPO sector 2 from Blois against 13155 pigeons in 2010, 2nd and 5th NPO Region East from Peronne against 19944 pigeons in 2011, an amazing 3 1st NPO results in 2012 (Peronne against 35985 pigeons, Sens sector 2 against 14753 pigeons, Argenton against 10432 pigeons), another 2 1st NPO’s in 2013 (Sens against 28413 pigeons and Chateaudun against 11572 pigeons), no less than 21 1st prizes (among which 3 first Provincials) in 2014, a 1st National Chateauroux against 37819 pigeons in 2015, … I guess you will have gotten the picture right now. Between 1991 and 2008 about 6 to 8 cars were won as well (Peter can’t exactly recall the number!), and of course numerous championship titles and Acepigeon results. Needless to say we’ve only

“One thing stands out however: the absolute dominance of the Peter van de Merwe pigeons on distances between 100 and 700 km and against huge numbers of birds.” mentioned some of the records to avoid having to publish a very very long list of results and making this article as large as a phonebook. One thing stands out however: the absolute dominance of the Peter van de Merwe pigeons on distances between 100 and 700 km and against huge numbers of birds. One thing that is missing from Peter’s endless records lists is an Olympic title, but that is simply because it is not really his ambition. “You need to race a bird 2 years in a row for an Olympic title,” he tells me, “and when I have a very good yearling, I tend to transfer him to the breeding loft. Besides, my position here, near the edge of the region, isn’t particularly suited for Olympic results. You need a more central position for that. My birds are able to peak, but not week after week.” When they do peak however, the competition is swept aside. “I do try to race every week,” Peter says, “but if the weather looks really bad I keep a part of my racing team at home.” Overnight races do not interest him either: “I never had time for this type of race. I concentrate on one day racing. I’d rather do one thing good instead of two things half bad.” This doesn’t mean his pigeons aren’t capable of covering the longer distance: another fancier, who did take van de Merwe pigeons to Bordeaux, scored a 1st after a tough 12 hour race. More proof that his pigeons have stamina comes from Morocco; with its desert and mountains not exactly the easiest country to race: the championships on the one day long distance, middle distance, etc. were all won with Peter’s birds, as well as the 1st National Acepigeon Allround. All of this in a National program that started out with 60000 pigeons.

It is clear that all these results do not just materialize out of thin air. They are based on one thing and one thing only: pure and solid quality. It is no coincidence that Peter’s stunning records list, which put him in the international spotlight, is still strongly based on the “Oude Zwarte” line he used when he started. “Gwen”, the fantastic 1st National Acepigeon Young birds of 2001, is a granddaughter to “De Zwarte 430” of 1986, mated to a Tournier hen (her father, “De 608 Tournier”, which came out of this pair, won 3 firsts among which a 1st National Ruffec). On mother’s side there is Van Loon in the mix. Together with “Gwen”, the light check cock “Replay” forms the basic couple of the van de Merwe loft: they are father and mother to no less than 6 generations of 1st NPO winners. Of course ”Replay” is not just any pigeon: a 100% Koopman he is heavily inbred towards the famous “Golden Lady”, daughter of the legendary “Kannibaal” of Dirk Van Dyck and mother of the just as legendary “Kleine Dirk”, grandfather of, among others, another legend, “Harry” of Jan Hooymans. “Replay”’s maternal grandmother is “Yi Min”, daughter of “Golden Lady”. Grandfather on mother’s side is “Mister Ermerveen”, a grandson of “Golden Lady”. The same blood is found on “Replay”’s father’s side as well: his grandfather there is also a son of “Golden Lady”. Grandmother on father’s side on the other hand is “Lei”, 2nd National NPO Bourges, sister of “Wonder Lady”, 1st National Orleans with 30 minutes ahead, and of Janssen/Meulemans/Van Loon descent. The bloodline of these solid foundations runs all the way throughout the van de Merwe loft today. 1st NPO winner from Chantilly “Nathalie” is a direct daughter of “Replay” and the mother of “Rivaldo”, 1st NPO Nanteuil. 1st NPO Ruffec “Alivierro” is a grandson of “Replay”. “Didi”, 3rd Provincial Peronne against 23694 pigeons, is a great grandchild of both “Gwen” and “Replay”. “Argentonneke”, 5th NPO Argenton against 12267 pigeons is a great grandson of “Replay”, “Rambo”, 3rd National sector 2 of Melun against 8893 pigeons also has both “Gwen” and “Replay” in his pedigree, “Desi”, 4th NPO Chateauroux (after three loft mates) against 7151 pigeons is a great granddaughter of “Replay”, etc., etc. Not that Peter is obsessed by his own line. Good breeds good is the champion’s motto and so the best of the best also get a chance to prove their worth on the breeding loft. Particularly the cooperation with Guy Van Der Auwera has been very successful. 1st National Acepigeon and 4th Acepigeon WHZB “Jill” for example has direct Van Der Auwera’s as parents, inbred towards “Su-

per 481 De Kaasboer” and super breeding hen “Daughter Chateauroux” of Jozef Goovaerts. “Elle”, 2nd National Acepigeon Allround with results such as 1st Asse against 6892 pigeons, is a great granddaughter of “Replay” but on mother’s side a greatgranddaughter of both Gaby Vandenabeele icons “Bliksem” and “Rudy”, sourced through Henk De Weerd. “Don Bravour”, 1st Provincial Acepigeon One Day Long Distance, 4th National Acepigeon, 1st Asse, 1st Argenton, 1st Chateauroux, is also a “Replay” descendant but with Rudi De Saer thrown in through Guy Van Der Auwera on mother’s side. Peter’s breeding strategy is simple: racers get a chance up until they are two year olds to prove their worth; if they are good they are transferred to the stock loft. Peter keeps about 45 to 50 breeding pairs which provide his daughter Gwen with 50 youngsters and himself with another 120. 95 birds make up Peter’s old bird and yearling loft; Gwen keeps 37. Some pairs are kept as continuous couples but most are re-mated every year to test out new combinations. It certainly has been a winning strategy; one which has crowned Peter and his daughter Gwen to Grand Masters of the Dutch NPO races and made the van de Merwe loft famous all over the world. Since 2015 Peter is now

focussing 100% on the pigeons. That year he won the 1st National Chateauroux from 37819 pigeons, 1st NPO Ruffec against 4133 pigeons, 1st NPO Nanteuil against 15640 pigeons and a whole series of Acepigeon titles. In 2016 he scored 14 firsts several 1-2-3 series (from Laon, Pont St. Maxence, Peronne, etc.), a 2Nd NPO Pointoise against 16611 pigeons, a 3rd NPO Fontenay against 15222 pigeons, etc. In 2017 he won a 1st NPO La Souterraine twice (against 4783 and 7713 pigeons respectively), a 1st and 2nd NPO Pont St. Maxence against 15270 pigeons, a 1st and 2nd NPO Argenton against 12267 pigoens, etc. and last season 2018 among many other prizes a 1st National Melun against 8893 pigeons, a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th NPO Chateauroux against 7151 pigeons, a 1st NPO sector 2 against 12511 pigeons, a 2nd Pontoise against 15317 pigeons and 33 outright victories. All this every year of course accompanied by a whole bunch of Acepigeon and Championship titles. We will see what 2019 has to bring, but we can already be sure it will be another super season for the father and daughter team of Dordrecht. The van de Merwe pigeons are here to stay and will certainly continue to put their mark on the Dutch and International pigeon scene. And whatever the future brings, Peter van de Merwe has already secured his spot in pigeon sport history.

van de Merwe family clears house… “Not much left for the competition on Pont St. Maxence...” That the van de Merwe family in the Dutch city of Dordrecht knows how to score some tremendous results is by now common knowledge. Between 1991 and 2018 roughly 25 first NPO prizes were added to the trophee list of Peter, his wife Nathalie and daughter Gwen. Mind you: first NPO prizes. We’re not even talking about the endless list of other top positions. As we’ve written before: on distances between 100 and 700 km and against big numbers of pigeons there is not much to be done against the absolute dominance of what we call without hesitation the strain van de Merwe. As recently as 7 September, on the race of Pont St. Maxence, Peter, Nathalie and Gwen cleared the tables in Sector 3 South-Holland. No less than 6733 young birds were released at 08:30 am and what does the Teletext result teach us? Let’s have a look: 1. Peter van de Merwe (speed1408 meter per minute) 2. Peter van de Merwe (speed1408 meter per minute) 3. Gwen van de Merwe (speed1408 meter per minute) 4. Peter van de Merwe (speed 1408 meter per minute) Or in other words: four pigeons at the same time through the trap, against 6733 competitors no less! But things get even more interesting: 5. Peter van de Merwe (sspeed 1407 meter per minute) 6. Nathalie van de Merwe (speed 1407 meter per minute) 7. Peter van de Merwe (speed 1406 meter per minute) 8. Nathalie van de Merwe (speed1405 meter per minute) 9. Gwen van de Merwe (speed 1391 meter per minute) 10. Gwen van de Merwe (speed1391 meter per minute) Here we go: the 10 first positions for the lofts in Dordrecht and looking at the speed the pigeons must have dropped out of the sky as thick as hairs on the dog’s back. Once again: against 6733 competitors. Try racing against a loft like that. Of course such dominance is no coincidence at all but the clearly visible result of many years of hard work. Building a strain that is capable of repeatedly scoring this type of result cannot be achieved by just anybody but there is no doubt that Gwen van de Merwe with the assistance of his family has managed to build an almost unbeatable team of pigeons around the lines of his “Oude Zwarte” and “Replay”. To refresh everyone’s memory: key hen “Gwen”, 1st National Acepigeon Young Birds 2001, is a granddaughter of “De Zwarte 430” and “Replay” is a 100% Koopman, heavily inbred towards the famous “Golden Lady”, daughter of the legendary “Kannibaal” of Dirk Van Dyck. Pedigrees that makes one dream and that are a guarantee for future successes. Anyone racing pigeons in the Dordrecht area and wishing to score some results from time to time might seriously start thinking about moving!
