Schalkwijk Pigeons has confirmed participation in the 2nd season of the Dubai One Loft Pigeon Race or World Championship Pigeon Sprint Racing.
Gerard Schalkwijk from the Netherlands, an international top fancier, participates in the Dubai One Loft Pigeon Race with his Schalkwijk Pigeons. A descendant of a large pigeon racing family, Gerard has been a top fancier in extreme long-distance racing, especially known for his specialty in morning releases. His pigeons are remarkable for their ability to fly through the night and arrive early in the morning, demonstrating extraordinary courage and character.
Gerard’s success is built on an ironclad breeding loft, combining strains from Barcelona legends Frans Bungeneers and Cor de Heijde with his Rappe Ries-Barca King bloodlines. This blend has produced top breeders such as Lady in the Dark, Orange Oil, Lady Richelle, and Barca King. These pigeons have been featured in numerous articles and have secured sensational performances in international extreme long-distance races.
In recent years, the next generation of these champions, including children of Lady in the Dark, Double Barcelona, and others, have achieved remarkable results. Gerard maintains a manageable loft, emphasizing quality over quantity.
