G.G.Dam; Belg03-3003304 “Lady Bliksem” – Bred & Raced by Gaby Vandenabeele
In 2003 M & D. Evans were invited by Gaby Vandenabeele to his home in Dentergem, Belgium. While on a visit to his home Gaby offered Mark his pick from the very best of Gaby’s 2003 hen race team.
“Lady Bliksem” was one of the birds Mark selected that day with the help of Gaby’s advice. She is a direct daughter of the world famous “Bliksem”
“Bliksem” is without a doubt one of the best birds that Gaby Vandenabeele ever owned. He won the following prizes in 2000 and was unofficially the best bird in Belgium:
1st Provincial Poitiers 1,488 birds
2nd Provincial Chateauroux 4,662 birds
4th Provincial Ruffec 1,778 birds
5th Provincial Perigueux 1,119 birds
8th Provincial Poitiers 2,975 birds
“Bliksem” is a son of “Kolonel”
1st Ace Pigeon Wes Vlaandere 1995
1st Provincial Chateauroux 7,793 birds
1st Provincial Limoges 6,018 birds

“Kolonel” is a son of world famous “Wittenbuik”
1st Provincial Angouleme 2,450 birds
1st Provincial Limoges 2,309 birds
1st Provincial Poitiers 2,713 birds
2nd Provincial Poitiers 1,435 birds
“Bliksem” is a grandson of “Vital”
1st National Ace Pigeon Long Distance KBDB 1993
2nd National Montauban 6,814 birds
6th National Narbonne 6,531 birds
9th National Cahors 8,078 birds
After 2000 “Bliksem” was not raced again and moved to Gaby Vandeanbeele’s breeding loft where he became one of the best breeders in the history of the sport. Many experts believe that he has become even a better breeder than his famous grandsire “Wittenbuik”. It is a very wild statement to make, but the racing results of his offspring are certainly impressive. Decide for yourself.
