Gino Clicque

How do you get a subscription to the National As-pigeon KBDB?
In 5 years Gino Clicque had 22 national ace pigeons on the big middle or on the long distance. In a few years this was one of the largest growers in the Belgian pigeon racing and a world star in the pigeon world. His results sometimes are inspired by the unbelievable: his pigeons come from the 600 km long flights home, as if they were short-distance race ...

Gino, describe your last two years!
"2017, the entire base was sold and we started again with the year-olds. Immediately we had another five pigeons classified under the National Ace-pigeon KBDB, namely the 1st, 5th and 10th National Ace Pigeon on the wide range in the age group. Furthermore, we had the 4th and 9th in the national Ace pigeon Allround and many top results at national
Level, including the 6th, 12th, 17th, national Limoges against 10,554 years, the 6th, 7th, 8th, 17th National Jarnac against 5117 years and the 11th, 12th, 14th national Tulle against 9578 years.
In 2018 we had the 1st National Ace Pigeon KBDB twice, this time with the "Golden King" (1st national Ace pigeon long distance yearlings) and the "First Lady" (1st national Ace pigeon long distance old birds). The "New Piraat" was 2nd national ace pigeon long distance yearlings. "

In fact, we can easily identify as Gino probably the best Belgian breeder! In five years he won 22 national Ace Pigeon title on the heavy middle distance and long distance! The descendants of the "Golden Prince" are just great. Only one son was flying and he won 12 national Libourne against 4,605 ​​pigeons. In the meantime, his grandchildren stayed for 8 x Top 13 National responsible, among these, for example, 2nd, 8th, 12th, 13th national Souillac against 4,056 pigeons – 6. National Libourne against 4,354 pigeons – 12th National Libourne against 4,605 ​​pigeons – 11th and 13th national Tulle against 7155 pigeons – but
also the first provincial Chateauroux against 3,608 boy.

Fly your pigeons elsewhere also as top notch?
"Good references of our pigeons there to Ronny Menten, won the 2,016 with a direct Clicque Pigeon first national Bourges and this was the fastest pigeon against 45,730 colleagues simultaneously.
2018 had the tandem VdPutte-Kubica, the first national Ace Pigeon heavy long distance with a granddaughter of the "Red Filip".
Jan and Gustaaf Bischop had in 2019, the first national Ace Pigeon KBDB allround from the lines of the "Piraat" and "Golden Prince". "These are, of course, results of which we are extremely proud."

How are you so successful?
He has a good division of labor and Gino can be described as a manager who is supported by a strong family: his wife Kristien, his son Jasper and his daughter Laura. It's all about a well-structured care, training and feeding program.
“My wife Kristien is responsible for the administration, that means for all family trees and all the paperwork. Jasper is present every morning and his job is to make sure all pigeons have clean watering and fresh grit mixes. This is very important as it has a positive effect on the intestines of the pigeons. He also has to make sure that the pigeons have electrolytes in their drinking water on the day they return home from their flight. For this he uses Bt-Amin forte, which ensures rapid regeneration. If necessary, the dose is repeated the next day. The pigeons then receive Avidress Plus, which is responsible for ensuring that the water is disinfected in a natural way and that the pigeons stay healthy.
We use Gervit-W to prepare our pigeons for the races. You will receive the product twice a week throughout the year. This product has been around for years. It's the best vitamin preparation and that's why we prefer this one. "

What is important for your success?
“We work with a fixed system here. The basis of all this are the good pigeons. Without quality there is no excellence, but quality deserves quality. Hence, it is necessary that they work hard every day and that everything goes according to a consistent plan. With such a large group of pigeons the use of good feed mixes is essential
good supplement products that we believe in are really necessary.
Since we started using the Röhnfried products, we haven't looked for other preparations. These products provide security and they have ensured that there has been no relapse in recent years. Our pigeons remained in excellent health.

Are you doing something special in preparation for an important flight?
“Usually our pigeons train twice a day, unless the weather conditions are not as favorable as last season 2019. During this time with extremely warm temperatures, there was no training in the evening. A 35 minute training session is sufficient. We prefer that they are back on the field after an hour at the latest. When they arrive from the flight they receive a travel mix to which we add K + K Protein 3000, which makes them recover very quickly. Between flights, they get 50% Sports Mix and 50% Cleansing Mix. It is important that the pigeons get what they need. I learned that from my father Germain: ‘If you work well, you have to eat well and you must never fall asleep on an empty stomach.‘ "

Gino, what is important in the dovecote?
"The reference to the cell I think is very important. The pigeons have to like to be on the beat, they must love their cell. This can also be their own, his place 'on the floor. After mating in the spring, they are also closely connected to their partners and it will encourage them to come as soon as possible back home. During this time they are trained with several short training flights, in order to consolidate the rhythm and to motivate them. I notice also, the females that less among themselves mate when they have hatched. Females who bred and have a partner who is less interested in other females. "

What do you want readers to tell yet?
"Pigeon racing at the highest level is not easy, it requires the breeder a lot of energy, and we must not make mistakes. Most important are good pigeons and a good impact on the pigeons feel comfortable. It need not be a luxury loft. We have an old Schlagvon more than 40 years and still the birds are always fit. also ensures that they get good food. Let the pigeons at specified times regularly inspected by the veterinarian. "
