Dear pigeon friends,
PIPA presents
C. & G. Koopman
Modern nr. 1 pigeon family in the world Round of young birds 2013
Start auction: December 16th 2013 • End auction: December 29th 2013 • www.pipa.be
In this catalogue I like to present the group of young birds 2013 that will be offered on PIPA from December 16th until December 29th 2013. A round of youngsters from all my top breeders, what has become a tradition and sort of an annual repeating validation of the good relationship between PIPA and myself. My contact with Nikolaas and Thomas Gyselbrecht from PIPA is more than just a business-relationship. I’ve always tried to be the best in our great pigeon sport; PIPA wants to be leading in the market of selling pigeons. On many occasions we try to strengthen each other, for instance by introducing DNA-certification – as I want to be sure at all times customers must know they can rely on me; an aspect very important to both PIPA as myself. When the sport is concerned; 2013 was a season to not soon forget. Team Koopman has been putting a lot of effort to show anno 2013 that we were still capable of performing in the way my father and I did about 25 years ago. Pigeon sport changed, but we were convinced ‘the Koopman pigeon’ is still capable to dominate. It makes me very happy to conclude we succeeded, winning a/o 2x 1. NPO and grabbing 17 NPO top 10 positions from just 5 races one day races! We believe our breeding loft forms the base for the success in racing. Only the best is good enough for breeding and that philosophy proves to be just for over 25 years in Ermerveen. From all my best breeders I offer a round of youngsters on PIPA and I believe that offers fanciers worldwide a unique change to acquire top genes material. Many succeeded before you, maybe you will be the next to experience the value of our stock. With kind regards, Gerard Koopman
