Jos and Jules Engels

Updated May 8th 2011

Could there be a better middle distance loft in Belgium over the last 30 years?  Not a chance.  Jos and Jules Engels, maybe the best middle distance loft in Belgium in of all time. With decendents of the legendary producer ‘231’, they win in one season what few could win in many seasons.  In the period 1990-2009, 9 x 1st National, 9 x 1st National in Zone B, 2 x 1st Semi-National, 90 x 1st Provincial. Nearly every top middle distance loft in the world has Engels blood in their pigeons!

In 2001 we bought direct from 'Den' 231, (Den 31) '178' and 'Den Dikke' among others.  They have turned out to be sensational breeders, with generations of winners out through 600 miles young and old.  Our top performances in the Sun City Million Dollar Pigeon Race were half Engels. One pigeon Juliette's Romeo' was 18th in the final 400 mile race with only 24 day birds, she was Engels & Imbrecht.  The following year in 2006 we had a super racer called 'Jacqueline' which was 1st in a training race, 3rd in a training race and then flew 59th overall at 400 miles with only 100 day birds.  'Jacqueline' flew 12 hours that day.  'Jacqueline' was Engels Fabry X Van Reet.

In 2010 we decided to restock the Engels pigeons and bought from the top pigeons at the Engels Lofts today. 

The inbred Engels birds are sensational producers, wherever they go!  We house the very best of the Engels pigeons from all the super breeders, ‘178’, ‘Den Dikke 584’, ‘De Marcel’, ‘De 734’, inbred ‘Marieke’ and a direct son from maybe the top breeder in Belgium the last 100 years ‘231’.  We have numerous inbred grandchildren to ‘231’.  The Engels pigeons will be the base blood for the Sun City Project.  The Engels pigeons love heat and headwinds and have won out to 600 miles for us and our clients.  Their prepotency is just amazing!  Notice one of our new acquisitions in Belg 096130630.  We have superstar pigeons, some already foundation breeders from the below pictured pigeons.
