Ludo Panis
Eric races pigeons together with his wife Marleen under the name of Vrancken-Berden. They had their first succes with a pigeon bought from Georges Claeskens from Loksbergen.
Erik: “In 1989 I bought a young red cock from Georges at the pigeon market in Lier. At that moment, Claeskens performed on a very high level. The "Rode Lier" was coupled with a hen I received for free from Willy Forier of Kermt. This couple produced 12 (twelve) youngsters and all of them won first prizes. Since then I succesfully obtained several pigeons from Claeskens. From 1991 till 1998 I raced succesfully with the pigeons. Fate hit in 1999. All of a sudden my breeding hens suffered from adeno type 2. My 3 best breeding hens died. Since then I was less succesful in racing my pigeons. Until my brother Willy lent a helping hand. The majority of his colony consists of Soontjes pigeons obtained thru the late Pros Roosen. Until now, every year, pigeons are transferred from Willy to Eric. Also from Ludo Panis from Diepenbeek, he claims to have obtained very good pigeons. De Vale of Ludo Panis, who on the side of the dam is a descendant of De Kaasboer, is a stock bird who produced a lot of top performers. I furthermore have a top pigeon of René Vervoort from Hulshout, who in two years time won 34 prizes out of 36 races, with 7 first prizes. ”
With 15 breeding couples, coming from those top performing fanciers, future is ensured here. The names of his brother Willy and his friend Ludo Panis are continuously repeated during our conversation: here, admiration and gratitude carry the highest tone.
