Gustaaf & Jef Cuypers Breeding

52409-09 is a beautiful blue white-headed cock bred from the best import racing pigeons of Jef & Gustaaf Cuypers in Hakendover, Belgium.  Our loft in Tulsa is the only loft in the USA breeding from these outstanding pigeons.  52409-09 actually has a "white cap" on his head.  In Belgium, pigeons with this color designation are known as a "wittekops" or white caps.  Consequently, 52409-09 is named the WITTEKOP.  Occasionally, the Cuypers pigeons will breed a white-capped pigeon.  The Cuypers pigeons are similar to the pigeons of Antoine Jacops - they race from 100 to 600 miles (160 to 960 kilometers) in any type of weather.  In fact, the Cuypers pigeons cross very well on the Jacops pigeons.  In the 2008 young bird race series, 44435-08 was an excellent racer winning 1st, 2nd, 2 X 3rd prizes in 6 races which led to a 1st Ace Young Bird 2008 Award in the West Tulsa RPC.  The WITTEKOP was 1st Club, 1st Combine and 1st Federation (1035 birds) from 200 miles/360 kilometers on April 10, 2010.  He was also tied for 1st Ace Pigeon in the B (Unlimited entry) Series of the 2010 Old Bird Race season of the Northeast Oklahoma Racing Pigeon Federation.
