To give and to get Until the late nineties Leo Heremans sold almost no pigeons. He gave them all away and all that were blessed to have Heremans pigeons in their lofts succeeded with them. On the one hand, the international pigeon world would later on push each other aside to obtain something of Vorselaar’s diamonds and the strain of Heremans became the new world strain. On the other hand, fanciers also considered it an honour when Leo Heremans was interested in their pigeons. Such an example is top fancier Paul Huls from Zonhoven, who offered Leo from his best pigeons on several occasions. When they met at the Zorgenkind Auction, Paul said: “Don’t you want my pigeons?” “I just got one,” said Leo, who had just bought Paul’s donation to the auction. “Come by and get more,” Paul said but a lack of time held Leo back. A few months later the telephone rang: “Don’t you want them ?” Paul asked again and Leo explained. Paul immediately stepped in the car, took two baskets with 24 pigeons with him and Leo picked the 10 finest to pair them to his own best lines. The 1st Ace Bird Middle Distance Mechelen Region 2011 was bred from an original Paul Huls cock. prize and was back in business with Hugo Vermeerbergen as loft manager again. To rebuild a breeding colony, he went to his son-in-law Gert to select the best from the round of latebreds he had given him in 2006. Leo also took back the hen BE02- 6114797 Tongerke that he lent for breeding. This hen was paired to amongst others Olympiade, a golden hit since this pair bred modern top breeder Safir (father of Dubbel Aske, Surprise, etc.). Ancient topper Jan, bought by Paul Huysmans at the auction in 2007, also came home and the lines that brought Leo Heremans to the top were back where they belonged. A golden hand In his everlasting search for top pigeons Leo kept on visiting auctions where he could find reinforcements. At an auction of youngsters from G. & S. Verkerk from The Netherlands, Leo was especially charmed by a young hen from their top performer Sprint, 1st NPO Chateauroux and 2nd National Ace Bird. He bought it to pair it to Olympiade. The first youngster from this pair was Prins Olympiade, breeder of Gebroken Poot (1st Quievrain 2,675 birds) and grandfather to the super brothers Bolt (1st Nat. Ace Bird KBDB 2012) and Louis (3 x 1st prize). One year later, Galantos was purchased in the same venue at an auction of Gerard Koopman from The Netherlands. Again Leo Heremans proved his golden hands. He paired Galantos to a granddaughter of Olympiade and the first two cocks from this pair were used for breeding. One of them bred the Olympiad top pigeon Nieuwe Olympiade. In 2012, Galantos was paired to the nest sister of Jan Junior and they bred the Olympiad icon Olympic Sperwer. Leo’s eye for perfection brought him eternal fame again. The last two years in pigeon racing were extremely successful for Leo Heremans but probably also the two toughest of his career. His health became poorer and poorer and in 2012 he was exhausted by the end of the season. Another full-speed year in pigeon racing would endanger his health and because Leo Heremans wants to do all he does at 100 per cent, he decided to sell all his pigeons. Even for selling his pigeons, Leo looked for the best and considered PIPA to be the most professional organisation to sell his colony. This is an auction with a surplus of quality never seen before and therefore bound to become legendary. 17

He reacted differently to the others, did what he wanted to do. Before the first race all youngsters got electronic rings, just one pigeon was forgotten and was basketed without electronic ring: 'Bolt'. That Saturday, the first pigeon to come in was the one without the ring. He missed the 1st prize but made up for it with great continuation. * = also in auction 18
