Bert Braspenning - Rei Da Velocidade 21-07-2008

BERT BRASPENNING - REI DA VELOCIDADE

 

 

Durante a minha visita à Holanda tive oportunidade de visitar a famosa colónia de Bert Braspenning.

Confesso que não estava nos meus planos esta visita, isto porque em Portugal se diz que ele já esta acabado, que vendeu tudo o que era bom, já não tem bons pombos etc. ou seja uma carrada de disparates…e que eu durante muito tempo dei ouvidos. Mas nessa tarde, acabei mais cedo os meus afazeres profissionais e resolvi lá ir…e em boa hora o fiz…mas que agradável surpresa.

Como não tinha marcado nada, bati a porta e seja o que Deus quiser pensei eu….eram 19h e veio um Sr. de  idade ( 71 anos ) abrir a porta. Boa tarde o meu nome é Pedro, sou português, columbófilo e como estava aqui na zona resolvi fazer-lhe uma visita…espero que seja possível…desculpe não ter avisado. Não têm problema respondeu o Sr. Bert…entre…entre…Foi muito simpático e extremamente educado e simples.

Quer beber algo? Café? Cola?....pode ser uma Cola disse eu…

Então o que o trás por cá ? Perguntou o Bert

Olhe vou ser muito sincero consigo, nunca tive nenhum pombo Braspenning e como tenho uma serie de amigos que têm pombos seus via Louella resolvi cá passar a ver se tinha algo que me possa interessar. Eu gosto de comprar na fonte….ele riu-se…

Mas que pombos é que os seus amigos têm, perguntou ele ?

Em casa do Sr. Guedes vi peças maravilhosas da linha do Felle, Van Moorsel…na casa do meu amigo João Conceição ( Campeão 4 anos seguidos em Salvaterra) o pombo do casal base é um Braspenning…na casa do meu amigo João Paulo Lopes é um Braspenning o seu melhor reprodutor….ou seja esses pombos resultam em Portugal e em zonas distintas logo interessa-me essa linha….muito bem disse ele.

 

Mas antes de ver-mos os pombos fale-me um pouco de si ? Disse eu.

 

Sou columbófilo a 62 anos e para além dos pombos estive ligado ao ciclismo como profissional durante muitos anos. Desempenhei cargos de director e corri em bicicletas durante 9 anos como profissional. Fui comercial de uma firma durante 38 anos. Agora estou reformado.

Fui Juiz classificador durante 30 anos e escrevi artigos sobre pombos para todos os jornais da Europa e alguns dos Estados Unidos.

 

Porque o titulo de Rei da Velocidade?

 

Esse nome foi me dado pelos meus amigos após ter ganho o Campeonato de Velocidade pela 32 ª vez…. Sou um especialista nesta categoria.

 

Nos últimos 15 anos, o Bert já ganhou mais de 180 x 1º Lugares e teve vários pombos Campeões.

 

Qual a origem dos seus pombos ?

 

São pombos Janssen. Foi amor a primeira vista. Vi os primeiros pombos Janssen em casa da família Van Boxtel ( eram vizinhos) pouco depois de acabar a II Guerra Mundial, nesse dia disse para mim “ Estes são os pombos que eu vou ter “. Alguns anos mais tarde ( 1952) comprei os meus primeiros Janssen Originais.

Inicialmente cruzei os Janssen com outros pombos, mas a partir dos anos 70 reforcei a colónia com mais Janssen Originais e tenho mantido essas linhagens : Merchx – Young Merchx – Geeloger –Schouwman – 019 – Ijskop. O grande sucesso veio de dois filhos do Young Merckx.

Aplico uma selecção muito rigorosa e com vários anos de criação criei aquilo a que se chama na Europa o pombo Braspenning.

 

Mas não introduziu nada a essa linha consanguínea?

 

Nos princípios dos anos 90 senti necessidade de introduzir 2 fêmeas (linhagem Janssen) mas de grande qualidade.

Comprei a melhor fêmea da Holanda do ano de 1990, a qual chamei de Leontien. E comprei a “Van Moorsel”. A Van Moorsel ganhou na sua carreira mais de 20 x 1º foi a segunda melhor fêmea da Holanda em 1989-1990-1991 e em 1992 foi a melhor fêmea de Velocidade da Holanda batendo todos os viúvos.

O meu “ De Felle “ foi em 1990 o 3º melhor pombo da Holanda.

Cruzado com a Leontien e em especial com a Van Moorsel formou um casal de excepcional qualidade. Vários filhos a ganhar 1º prémios e muito bons reprodutores.

Devido aos resultados da Van Moorsel comprei mais 4 irmãos / irmãs legitimas dela para cruzar com a minha velha linha.

 

Porque é que vendeu os seus melhores pombos a Louella ?

 

Nos finais de 1993 recebi a visita do Louis Massarela da Louella e recebi uma proposta irrecusável para lhe vender os meus pombos.

 

Como conseguiu manter a colónia actual?

 

Vou te explicar o meu pensamento:

 

- Quando vendi o “ De Felle “ ele já tinha 5 anos. Durante esses 5 anos eu tirei vários     

    filhos dele. Em especial com a Leontien e com a Van Moorsel

- Korte Sprinter tinha 7 anos. Vários filhos na reprodução

- Kleine Lichte tinha 6 anos. Vários Filhos na reprodução

- Gold Bond tinha 5 anos. Vários Filhos na reprodução

- Van Moorsel tinha 5 anos e reproduziu na minha casa durante 2 anos.

- Gold Finger tinha 5 anos e reproduziu na minha casa durante 3 anos.

- A Cora e o Compas eram filhos do “De Felle “ com a Leotien tinha irmãos a voar e na reprodução

- Autowinar tinha 1 ano quando o vendi. Era filho Korte Sprinter, tinha irmãos a voar e a reproduzir

- T´Schalieke tinha 9 anos quando a vendi. Mãe de varias reprodutores.

 

Ou seja o Louis Massarela realmente levou o melhor que eu tinha, mas fiquei com a base. Em especial com uma equipa de pombos reprodutores jovens como eu gosto.

 

Durante estes últimos 10 anos já vendi para a Louella mais 300 pombos filhos de reprodutores que tinha e de outros que mantenho. Será que eles continuavam a comprar se os pombos não fossem realmente bons?

 

 

Quantos pombos têm actualmente ?

 

Nunca fui de ter muitos pombos. Actualmente tenho 52 voadores e 18 casais de reprodutores.

Todos os anos os melhores pombos passam para a reprodução. Mas atenção, só aqueles que são realmente bons tem lugar no meu pombal de reprodução. Sou muito duro na minha selecção e todas as pombas com mais de 7 anos são dispensadas. Só assim se consegue manter uma colónia de reprodutores de grande qualidade. Na minha opinião a fêmea deve ser jovem para que os genes sejam fortes.

Puros Braspenning só na casa de Bert Braspenning esse é o meu lema a mais de 50 anos.

 

Como vê o futuro ?

 

Já tenho alguma idade e como tal os reflexos já não são os mesmos. Mas espero ter muitas vitórias no futuro. Cresci com os pombos e eles fazem parte da minha família. Criei a raça Bert Braspenning e como tal sou reconhecido pela EU como criador de pombos. Tenho um diploma a confirmar a existência da raça Braspenning

 

 

 

A minha opinião

 

Depois de me passarem 36 pombos reprodutores pela mão, constatei que esta colónia esta bem longe de estar acabada. Só lhes digo uma coisa….que pombos!!!! estes Braspenning. É uma família de pombos muito homogénea na qual a cor predominante é o pedrado clarinho e o azul. Na sua grande maioria de olho pérola. Pombos extremamente bem feitos e que caem muito bem na mão. Sobre aqueles que dizem mal destes pombos em Portugal digo-vos uma coisa….” Por que no te calas? “

Uma coisa é certa….sempre que for a Holanda ver pombos a casa do Bert Braspenning vai estar na minha lista de visitas a realizar….

61 pigeons will come under the hammer - 42 old birds and 19 young birds, all descendants of the GOLDEN breeding pigeons, such as De Felle, Van Moorsel, Kleine Lichte, De Castor, Super Bristol, Fraulein, Cocotte, Astro and “super pair” Laguna and Twingo. In the auction too, will be some proven racing and breeding pigeons. The base of the Braspenning family are Janssens purchased direct from Janssen Bros, the first pigeons having been bought from them in 1952 and the last one in 1996. Their descendents have won more than

750 FIRST PRIZES AND CHAMPIONSHIPS

Bert Braspenning has for more than 60 years been custodian of a small team of “smart Janssen pigeons” relying upon them to keep him and fanciers all over the world at the TOP. They have done just that. In 2007, Clive Harris of Aberaman won 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th Welsh South Road National F.C. Chale with pigeons from the lines of De Felle, Van Moorsel and Kleine Lichte. Who has better performances in European National Racing?

Bert is the creator of a strain that has not only proved to be successful in decades gone by, but also gives a guarantee for the future. The Braspenning family wins in the biggest competition and has the ability to reproduce their kind in the next generation. So established is this family, that the Braspennings can be regarded as a strain of their own. Braspenning pigeons bring more power into your pigeon family.

Louis Massarella (LPW) once said: “THE JANSSEN PIGEON PERFORMING ABOVE ALL OTHERS IS A BRASPENNING”.

STOP PRESS: "Today I received an e-mail from Alex Bieche with the latest news from America. The young cock, Magnum 38, bred and raced by Gene Tembrink is the Number One 2007 - A.U. Young bird Ace pigeon of all America. He is bred from NL02-1435702 = daughter Super Bristol. Over the last 3 years birds from this hen have won over 50.000 US Dollar of prize money." - Bert Braspenning.
