German Fanciers shine again with Eijerkamp bloodlines
With such proven genetics behind her, it is hardly surprising that this young hen has already made her mark in her very first racing season.
1. Ace Pigeon Regional 406 Nord-Eifel
She achieved these titles after being entered in just four races, winning
1. Bar-le-Duc against 443 pigeons (2. against 1,240 pigeons)
3. Grevenmacher against 684 pigeons
7. Sassenheim against 560 pigeons (7. against 1,742 pigeons)
21. Etain against 502 pigeons (21. against 1,392 pigeons)
Ortner dominates the Ace pigeon championship
But the success goes much further than just one exceptional youngster. The 2. Ace Pigeon in Federation 406 Nord-Eifel, DV06367-26-6660, as well as the 3. Ace Pigeon, DV06367-26-6616, were bred from the same parents. Their sire is NL25-1095929NL25-1095929, a son of the superb Steady Euro"Steady Euro" x "Libelle", with "Libelle" being a daughter of Burbon"Burbon" while their mother is NL24-8209063NL24-8209063, a granddaughter of the superbreeding pair Viton"Viton" x Daughter Goed Grijs"Daughter Goed Grijs".
The final ace pigeon rankings underline the incredible impact of the Eijerkamp bloodlines in the Ortner loft:
Federation 406 Nord-Eifel: 1.-2.-3.-4.-5.-6. Ace Pigeon
Region Nord-Eifel / Eifelhöhen / Rhein-Ahr: 1.-2.-3. Ace Pigeon
Even more impressive: every single one of these ace pigeons, except one, was bred from two direct H. & E.J. Eijerkamp pigeons and the remaining pigeon is 50% Eijerkamp bred. This is not the first time Marius and Dominik Ortner from Wesseling have celebrated major successes with descendants of the Eijerkamp loft. Their first investments were made only two years ago, but the results are already speaking for themselves. The combination of the proven "Viton x Daughter Goed Grijs" bloodline with the outstanding W.A. de Bruijn and Heremans-Ceusters lines has quickly developed into a winning formula for the Ortner loft.
André Kohler strikes again, another victory with Eijerkamp offspring from the superb Willem de Bruijn lines
In the final race of the 2026 season, A. & A. Kohler claimed 1. Trebbin (314 km) against 374 pigeons in the Limberg Federation. Their winner also achieved an excellent 23. Provincial against 2,121 pigeons.
The winning pigeon, DV03904-26-0021, was bred from a direct Hans & Evert-Jan Eijerkamp pigeon purchased through the auction site of the Herbots family. The father of the winner is a double-inbred to the famous "Olympic Rico" of Herbots Brothers, while the mother is NL24-8209174NL24-8209174 "Murphys Expens", a direct daughter of the top breeder Mr. Expensive"Mr. Expensive", paired to Demily"Demily".
The Trebbin race proved to be a tough one, with the winning velocity reaching only 1,148 m.p.m. Nevertheless, DV03904-26-0021 showed her quality once again. This victory marked her 7. prize card of the season, and her consistent performances also earned her the title of 2. Ace Pigeon in the Federation.
