Hans Eijerkamp&Söhne
Eijerkamp has discovered the potential of Claes pigeons already at the end of the nineties. Eijerkamp bought, among other, the ace bird "Rivaldo" B6123039-98 which obtained 5 x 1st prizes.
Eijerkamp has shown that the Claes pigeons are very good for crossbreeding with other lines. With Eijerkamp, the combination Claes x Loon has provided for special breeding and offspring. For example, NL02 / 1115337 (50% Claes and 50% Van Loon) was 9 times the ace pigeon of the Netherlands' WHZB! Its daughter "Denise" NL06 / 1762781 (25% Claes) even landed in the top 25 rankings 4 times on domestic flights.

A very similar combination Loon x Claes is also to be found with sports friend Falckenborg, his Claes' pigeons namely come from Eijerkamp.
At Eijerkamp's, we could find many successful Claes' pigeons, but we will only present one: "Big Evert van 2004" (NL04 / 1560481).
Big Evert obtained the following results:
- Maaseik 1st/3,163 pigeons
- Boxtel 9th/2,735 pigeons
- Boxtel 19th/2,125 pigeons
- Houdeng 44th/1,902 pigeons
See the pedigree of Big Evert.
His father "Junior Duc" B00 / 6140907 is an orig. Claes bird and father of 5 first flyers!!!
