Clemens Iking - owner of a powerful tribe of wide lines

Were very harsh conditions on the weekend of the international Barcelona flight by 2015. The hottest weekend of the summer with temperatures around 40 degrees not made it easily the pigeons. Especially not for the doves on the farthest distances beyond 1200 km. A dove, which flies then on 1233 km with one of the broadest surveys all compete against 1300 pigeons of the German wide track elite 1st Prize national, must be made of special stuff.

Nevertheless, Klemens Iking, breeder and owner of the national winner is named 'BERNI' was not really surprised.
"When I heard about the first messages of Germany on the much shorter distances I figured out, I would have to have a pigeon can achieve national victory", said Klemens Iking, which comes from a real family of pigeon breeders and the feeling for the good pigeon in the veins. 15 h 40 was the prognosis. There were 9 friendly breeders on this day to visit, to await the Barcelona pigeons. Then at 15:21 of the national champion on the roof fell, a visitor asked: "Is about one of Barcelona?" Klemens Iking replied: "What is it else.", and ran into the travel stroke, which is housed in an extension to the House.

It was the national victory became clear all, since no other pigeon on this distance has been reported.

"I figured out with the Dove.", retold Klemens Iking. "Was the first Dove with the last three flights also. So, it was clear that I put it as Erstgezeichnete, for the competition "Golden Barcelona pigeon" reported and einkorbte also with high money game to Barcelona. She has met fully my confidence.", so the conclusion of the breeder.

The national winner Barcelona 2015 - 02745-11-428 "BERNIE" - full of character!

Klemens Iking plays exclusively the international long distance for the year 2010.
He started with pigeons in 1987 on the grounds of the uncle. Later, he was unfortunately in may 2013 together with his father, died in a successful stroke community. In the meantime a stroke community founded with Bernd Josef Volmer, today its own plays and plays very successfully also with pigeons by Klemens Iking. As a self-employed chimney Sweeper is only limited time for the pigeons. So, Klemens Iking focuses on the wide ranging game with very few pigeons. If written here is "very few doves" this is to be taken literally. The entire trip team consists of 12 pigeons!

Here are the travel impact - most cells

Read it right. 6 birds and 6 hens, which are all related to each other, deny the full program of the international long distance by 2015 with distances to the beat in Vreden between 996 and 1233 kilometres - with success!
Klemens Iking has no separate breeding pigeons. It is bred only from the few racers.

A study at the head of national winners Barcelona 2015 - 02745-11-428 "BERNIE" - a breeding eye of first quality!

How come these exceptional wide routes flying?

If you look at the origin of the national winner so very best German wide tracks blood about Oswald Schneider found out Nottuln and Menne and daughters from Hamminkeln, both hits with an international reputation. E.G. Menne and daughters won the 1st International Barcelona already in the year 2007 with a female "SUSI" against 25.829 pigeons. One finds the "MONTY" and the "BORDEAUX" in the origin of the father of this year's national winner, both of Menne and daughters. "MONTY" flew in the year 2002 the 1st national and 5th international Montauban 940 km against approximately 5,000 pigeons. The 'BORDEAUX' flew the 1st national and 2 international Bordeaux 933 km against 11.211 pigeons.

In the lineage of the mother of the national winner we are the winner of the 1st National Marathon 2011, most night pilot, who flew the 6 from Angoulême nationally in 2004, and the phenomenal "10" - 10 x price of national 10 inserting all of Oswald Schneider.
To read this, so it is not surprising that "BERNI" in the position was to achieve a national victory from Barcelona.

The national winner "BERNIE" enjoys the calm now after the Barcelona flight.

It is not only the national winners representing this pigeon family with exceptional performances. In addition, Clemens Iking makes 4 pigeons 3 prices subject to Barcelona.
Can be considered the grandfather of the national winner, the 03337-08-48, as the progenitor of the stock. All the pigeons here are descendants of the bird in Vreden. He is also father of the "BARÇA POWER" 02745-09-447 of 5 flies x Prize from Barcelona to Hendrik Wilpers and PRIMUS is INTERPARES. The female 02745-10-26 "HANNA" is the mother of the Barcelona winner and daughter of the mentioned ancestor. Since she was also an excellent travel females it was played this year. Unfortunately it was lost on a training flight from Reims.
Also the national winner even brought back very good offspring. So his two children 02745-14-5 and 02745-14-6 this year on Ruffec 825 km fly both a top price.
Also a few the doves show their extraordinary properties.
So the two when Clemens Iking bred pigeons 02745-09-443 and 02745-09-447 with the breeder of Hendrik Wilpers fly price also on the this year's Barcelona flight.

The wing study – the bird is just perfect in every way!

We congratulate Clemens Iking to his one-time national victory and his impressive pigeon family. The breeders and especially the deaf understand to shine on very large distances and extreme weather conditions.
