His neat home as well as the lofts behind it in the yard were erected in 1978. His first pigeons, about 30, he got from his father Gentil who was at the time a great champion himself at Middle Distance in West Flanders. He had built up his family with pigeons from Valere Desmet Matthijs (Nokere), Pol Bostijn (Moorslede) and Lucien Verstraete (Deinze).These birds were the foundation on which Gaby built up his family later on. |
The last few years it was mainly the descendants of 3 mighty ‘pillars’ which were responsible for the successes: These basic birds are ‘Kleinen’ ‘Bijter’ and ‘Groten’.The bloodline of these 3 birds proved to be excellent to cross with. Nowadays the dominant bloodlines are these of ‘Kleinen’ and his son ‘Wittenbuik’.

´Kleinen´ For many years ‘Kleinen’ (B-81-3238253) was the absolute wonderbreeder in the Vandenabeeleloft. ‘Kleinen’ was never basketed, which is in fact against the principles of Gaby who prefers to select his birds by their results. |

Well-known children of ‘Kleinen’ are ‘Picanol’ who as a yearling already was Provincial Ace in West Flanders, ‘Fideel’ who won 2nd National Limoges against 6,991 pigeons and of course ‘Wittenbuik’ a multiple first prize winner.The amount of descendants of ‘Kleinen’ which turned out to be either superior breeders or sensational winners is incredible.Like a red thread the blood of ‘Kleinen’ is to be found in almost every pigeon in the loft in the town of Dentergem and people all over the world were succesful with this bloodline.

The "Wittenbuik"
‘Kleinen’ was a perfect bird in everything but unfortunately he died in the spring of 1995. His son ‘Wittenbuik’ (B-88-3206112) has taken his place and the results of his offspring give the impression that he maybe even a better breeder than his famous father. What ‘Wittenbuik’ makes such a valuable breeder is the fact that he gave champions with many different hens. On this moment he is 15 year old and the question is who will take his place on the breeding loft. |
