We always have pigeons from these families because as anyone who has visited Elimar knows we hide nothing and make all pigeons available for purchase. When our stock gets low we go to Belgium to select the next batch of stock pigeons to breed winners here in the UK. In fact as this advert appears we have just returned from Belgium with a new draft direct off 1st National winners or 1st National Ace Pigeons.

Prices from £150 to £1000 each. Young birds available at £50 each from the Taveirne-Rigole and Dr Vandersanden stock plus a few Dordins at £25 each in 2007. Orders will only be accepted with a non refundable 20% deposit.  Orders are already arriving so to avoid disappointment don’t delay or you will miss out.

We have only the best that are personally selected from our very good friends

Taveirne-Rigole of Koolskamp from their excellent family of pigeons

plus

Dr Vandersanden of Bifs in Lanaken all off 1st National winners or 1st National Ace Pigeons.

Children and Grandchildren are available from the pigeons shown above.

In addition we also have a small selection of Dordins.

More winners can be found on www.elimarpigeons.com

Fanciers are always asking what will be the next winning strain to hit the UK. Judging by the performances listed above, they have already arrived.
