We have owned several Claes' original pigeons. Of course, not every pigeon has been able to prove its class just on the basis of its decent. We breed, race and select in a very strict manner. Even more than for original Claes' birds, we were constantly looking for successful pigeons with Claes blood. The interbred pigeons with 75%, 50% or also 25% Claes' blood have proven themselves very well with us.
The Claes pigeons are ideal for competitive flights from 300 to 650 km, regardless of weather conditions.
The very first Claes bird with us was Patrick 1 (B6110187-02), our root bird. His children (179-05,182-05,184-05, etc.) raced excellently, so we had purchased more Claes' pigeons. This was not an easy task; across Europe there were only a few breeders with Claes pigeons, who were ready to sell these first-class pigeons.

The next that we could buy were Patrick 2 and Patrick 3. Patrick 2 is the half-brother of Patrick 1, so we already had 2 sons of Claes' initial bird Lichte de Vic. Patrick 3 was the son of “Kameel x Vin 345”, that is, a half-brother of the famous Rivaldo, who unfortunately was not on the level of his great descent, as far as breeding is concerned.
Ruby (B6110118-02-B) has been with us for several years and provided a good offspring (for example Puby, Puma, Ruby Jr., Grummpy, ..). She is the daughter of Crackduivin mal Ronaldo, actually it comes from pure ace-parents!

Furthermore, we acquired a daughter of Staf (B6110131-02). Its line is still represented in our breeding dovecot by granddaughters Serena and Venus.
The most famous Claes line in the world of pigeons is nowadays probably the Figo line. Some of the best results of Figo were:
- 1st Ace pigeon- halve fond Yearlings „Union Antwerpen“, 2004
- 1st nat. Ace pigeon halve fond "Duivenkrant" 2004
- 11/11 prizes, 2004, 6 times in top 1 %
- "Figo" was also 2nd nat. Champion Yearlings „KBDB“ 2004, car winner!
- FIGO was sold at the total sale of Claes P&G (14.11.2004) to the L. Heremans for big amount of money!
In 2007, we acquired a full brother (Patrick 4) and a daughter of Figo. Over the years, we also purchased a full sister, two nieces and several grandchildren (Zorro, Neymar, Jula) of Figo.
The relationship of birds, which are or were present in our dovecot, to FIGO:
- B6045366-05, daughter Figo
- B6210939-07, brother Figo
- B6217685-05, sister Figo
- B6110187-02 Patrick 1 is half-brother of Figo (same mother - Romy 4x1st)
- B6110142-02 Patrick 3 half-brother Figo (same father Kameel)
- DV07768-551-09 niece of Figo
- DV-12-4295-0197 great-grandson of Figo
- DV-12-0948-391 grandson of Figo
- B-13-6311191 granddaughter of Figo
In racing years 2014 and 2015, the Wellens line (25% Claes), in combination with our old Claes lines (Bale, 236-114-213, 238-114-2013, etc.), proved to be very fast and reliable. In this regard, we have brought some additional pigeons of the Wellens line (Naomi, Wella, Ad-290, Bossa, Weller, New Dion, Karl, etc.).
