Jan Janssen, Talking About His Breed: the Lille Pouter JJaann JJaannsssseenn,, ttaallkkiinngg aabboouutt hhiiss bbrreeeedd:: TThhee LLiillllee PPoouutteerr Text and photos: Jan Janssen and Aviculture Europe, With our thanks to the French Specialty Club of the Boulant Lillois. Jan Janssen lives in Klimmen, a village in South Limburg (Netherlands) which was a separate municipality until 1982, and then merged into the current municipality Voerendaal. In 2005 the village had about 1,980 inhabitants, plus about 1,500 in the corresponding hamlets and villages. Left: The monument on the Vrijthof of Klimmen, in front of the St Remigius Church. This statue, a "caged" bronze bird, was created in September 1989 by the artist Cyriel Laudy. There is a plaque at the base, with the motto in Limburg dialect: “Vuer die zich neet kinne waere” (For all those who cannot defend themselves). Right: Jan Jansen, in front of his new pigeon loft in the backyard. The loft is specifically designed for his great passion: the Lille Pouter. “My first birds were a present from my father- in-law in 1975. For years I bred Steiger Croppers, then for quite some time the Voorburg Shield Croppers, followed by Old Dutch Tumblers and finally, in 1990, I switched to a breed that was hardly kept by anyone at that time, the Lille Pouter and I still keep these. In those early years I was very involved with the Fancy, sitting on boards of various clubs, organizing shows etc. Lately I have come to the conclusion that my hobby at my home is the most beautiful. Left: Lille Pouter black tigered, in front of its breeding compartment at Jan Janssen’s. Some time ago, 19 - 20 November 2011 we exhibited some of our pigeons in Charleroi (Belgium). Together with the Lille Pouter breeders from Belgium and France, we truly enjoyed to see the 85 Lille Pouters that were on display here. For me, this was a splendid opportunity to see where I was standing in the fancy. Here I learned that I was too much breeding for the German type of the Lille Pouter. Right: Another black tigered Lille Pouter. Fortunately, breeders in Belgium and France were a great help to me to point out and make that clear. I also have had the pleasure of receiving beautiful birds from Mr Devos from France. Words cannot describe what Jules Devos being president of the French Specialty Club for the Lille Pouter (Boulant Lillois) means for this breed. Wherever there is anything to do with Lille Pouters, he and his wife Claudine Devos, who is the Club’s secretary, are present. Super to have met such wonderful people, that care so much for our beautiful French breed. In August 2012 we adjusted our loft properly. I now have a loft measuring 5 x 3 meters for my pigeons. The loft is divided into 4 separate parts of 2.5 x 1.5 meters. Two are equipped with 6 breeding compartments and 16 perches, the other two have 3 breeding compartments and 16 perches. I now have a total of 18 breeding compartments and 64 perches available for the pigeons. Left: A pair of red Lille Pouters, recently mated for the first breeding round. To make optimal use of this space, I had to select early in 2012. In the autumn there were 15 pairs left and 13 of them are likely to stay as breeding pairs and two pairs as foster pigeons. So, my 2013 breeding birds are 4 pairs of Black and Black Tiger. Then another 4 pairs of Red, of which 3 pairs may sport Red White barred, and then there are 4 pairs of Yellow, of which 3 pairs may throw Yellow White barred. Right: A black tigered Lille Pouter, performing to impress his hen. Finally there is one pair Yellow x Dun white barred. For some reason, I just cannot say goodbye to this dun white barred cock, I never had a better bird to rear the young. So you see, late September I was already very busy preparing for the breeding season of 2013”. The Show Season of 2012 “I was very satisfied with the breeding of 2012, so I was curious about the results of this year's show. Although I intended not to enter my pigeons to a show any more, I finally decided to enter a few in Namur (Belgium). The results were even better than expected. Especially in the colours Red, Yellow and Yellow White barred I was awarded the highest scores. Although that year I actually had selected my pigeons mainly to create my new own breeding line, I still was very keen on comparing with the breeders in Belgium and France. At the exhibition in Namur, where 75 Lille Pouters were on display, I was more than happy with my 2 times 95, 3 times 94 and 1 time 93 points, especially considering the fact that I've changed course in 2010 and started to breed for the French type. For me it was a feast for the eye to view so many beautiful Lille Pouters. Below is the report of the Special French Club. CHAMPIONNAT France-Hollande-Belgique du BOULANT LILLOIS 2012 à SPY (NAMUR) At the 36th Exposition du Pigeon Club Namurois de Spy, near Namur, on 27 & 28 October 2012 in Belgium, the Championship Show of France – Holland – Belgium of the Lille Pouter Club was held. At this Show 460 animals had been entered, of which 75 Lille Pouters, by 9 participants in 10 colour and marking varieties. The following points were awarded to the entered Lille Pouters, by Emmanuel Poncelet, Judge of this Championship: 2 x 97 points – 5 x 96 points – 8 x 95 points – 22 x 94 points – 15 x 93 points – 9 x 92 points – 7 x 91 points – 1 x 90 points – 1 x 0 points and 5 birds were absent. Met betrekking tot de opgave van de kleuren, waren grote verschillen tussen de ingeschreven en de uiteindelijk geshowde dieren. 44 Black 2 Blue black barred 3 Silver dark barred 15 Black Tigered 1 Blue grizzle 2 Red 1 Blue white barred 3 Blue chequer 2 Yellow 2 Yellow white barred The Awards, granted on this Championship by the Pigeon Club of Namur, go to the following winners: For the Best Young Pigeons of 2012 Best Cock Cage 114 Owner: Animavia 97/1 Black Tigered Best Hen Cage 135 Owner: Jules Devos 96/3 Blue grizzle Left: Display of the Lille Pouter Club (Club du Boulan Lillois) with some members, left to right: Mrs. and Mr. Devos, Mr. and Mrs. Castany and Mr. Pronost. Steadily improving contacts with my fellow breeders in France helped me to purchase some very valuable birds to breed Lille Pouters according to the French breed standards. The pigeons purchased by me in Germany were on the large side and had too many features of the Brünner Pouter. The Lille Pouter is a French breed and I like breeding with the French type and style and not in the German type and style. I had beautiful breeding results from the ones I've been able to purchase in 2011 from my good friend Jules Devos. Right: Lille Pouter blue white barred. Champion bird with 96 points. Photo and owner: Jules Devos (France). The balance after participating in the last Championship 2012 in Namur, I can say that – after initially having some bad luck with a number of sick birds, I felt very lucky. During the exhibition in Namur I was able to purchase some birds to strengthen my loft, being a pretty Red and a Yellow White barred Lille Pouter of Mr. Hurel, and I also got some Blacks from Mr Dewez and of Mr. Goeber, who had decided after the exhibition to stop breeding the Lille Pouter due to lack of time. Because of all this I now have seven pairs of unrelated lines in my loft, and thus, together with the new birds from last year, I probably will be able to go ahead breeding for many years to come, having so many unrelated birds. At this time, the first 20 young fly through the loft and the 2nd round are about to hatch. As it looks now, after a cold start of the breeding season, I can stop breeding late March; I will have enough young by then and will be out of leg rings! I found that the breeders in France and Belgium are very helpful. Although I will not forget the help form the German breeders in the past years. It just goes super at this time and I hope that I can make some more people interested in keeping this breed”. History of the Lille Pouter With our thanks to Jules Devos of the French Specialty Club of the Boulant Lillois The Lille Pouter originated in Northern France and the neighbouring Belgian regions. In 1824 the Lille Pouter appeared for the first time at an exhibition. At the beginning of the last century, these elegant birds enjoyed a great interest. The two World Wars however were almost fatal to the breed and it was only in 1980 that some breeders from Lille decided to revive the breed. They were Marcel Dhénin, Jacques Michaux and Georges Vandenaebelle. After searching they had found several breeding pairs from Germany and Belgium which were the start for a new lease of life of the Lille Pouter in northern France. They were, however, not aware of the existence and work of Marius Kirsch Hoffer and Lucien Florence, they had the same goal and neither did the 2 latter men know about the plans of the 3 fanciers from Lille.

  • PIGEON RACING and WORKING-CLASS CULTURE in BRITAIN, C
    04JohnesC&SH4.3 6/7/07 9:56 am Page 361 PIGEON RACING AND WORKING-CLASS CULTURE IN BRITAIN, c. 1870–1950 Martin Johnes History Department, Swansea University ABSTRACT Pigeon racing was immensely popular amongst male industrial workers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This article offers an overview of the history of pigeon racing in this period before moving on to explore the sport’s multiple meanings for those who took part. Pigeon racing offered not only the thrills and excitement of racing but also the more sedate and intellectual rewards of breeding and rearing the birds. The pigeon loft was a masculine enclave and a retreat from the pressures of domestic life for some, although for others it was an opportunity to share time with their family. As such, pigeon racing demonstrates the complexities of working- class masculinity. Pigeon keeping was also expensive, time consuming and required space. The article thus concludes by arguing that despite the agency workers were able to exercise over their leisure, they were still restricted by wider material constraints. Keywords: pigeon racing, sport, leisure, masculinity, agency Pigeons have sat alongside flat caps and whippets as archetypal signifiers of the northern working-class male. In reality, the pastime’s social and geographic base were . 1870–1950 much wider but pigeon racing was nonetheless an important component of male c working-class culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, particularly in the industrial districts of south Wales, central Scotland and the north of England. Here the wooden pigeon lofts, often made from waste timber and painted brightly to attract the birds, formed a distinctive feature of the landscape.

  • Pigeon Keeping
    Pigeon keeping Pigeon keeping is the art and science of breeding domestic pigeons. People have practiced pigeon keeping for about 10,000 years in almost every part of the world. In that time, mankind has substantially altered the morphology and the behavior of the domesticated descendants of the rock dove to suit his needs for food, aesthetic satisfaction and entertainment. The keeping of pigeons necessitates building specialized structures in which to house the birds. These pigeon houses often contain specially constructed openings to allow the pigeon keeper to give his animals liberty for purposes of exercise while allowing them to re-enter the house without special assistance from the keeper. At the same time these houses are constructed to keep the pigeons safe from predators and inclement weather and give them nesting places in which to raise their squabs. People who breed pigeons are commonly referred to as pigeon fanciers. The hobby is gaining in popularity in the United States, after having waned within the last 50 years. Both the hobby and commercial aspects of keeping pigeons are thriving in other parts of the world. The Rock Dove, which is generally believed to be the ancestor of domesticated pigeons, was probably domesticated around ten thousand years ago. There are hundreds of breeds of domesticated pigeons arising from this common ancestor which are currently cultivated by pigeon fanciers. Because of the large number of domesticated breeds, pigeon fanciers find it convenient for certain purposes to group sets of domesticated pigeons into larger groups. In the United States, there are three major recognized groups of breeds of domesticated pigeons: • Flying/Sporting • Fancy • Utility It is worth noting that pigeon fanciers in other nations use different schemes in grouping domesticated pigeons; for example, a nationwide pigeon organization in Germany uses a far different grouping scheme.
