Our breeding station in Poland

At the Olympiad in Utrecht in 1995, the Eijerkamp family from Zutphen (the Netherlands) and the owners of OVIGOR, i.e. the Cebulla family from Opole, decided to sign a founding deed to build the breeding station Ponderosa Polska. At the time, Hans Eijerkamp with his sons, Evert-Jan and Hans-Jap, and Henk Juriens, CEO of Ponderosa, selected the best breeding pigeons from their native breeding station in Greenfield Stud. The herd was settled in lofts of the Opole branch: Ponderosa Polska.

Today, the breeding station Ponderosa Polska can proudly say that an excellent and wise decision was made at the time. Impressive lofts in Opole brought a breath of fresh air and fresh blood to the Polish racing pigeon sport. Their “alumni” have had unprecedented contributions in putting the Polish pigeon sport on a world pedestal. Polish fanciers, who now have access to this excellent reproductive material, have been given a greater chance to prove their breeding craftsmanship and great values of our home material. The combination of these conditions, inseparable for the success of the loft, has resulted in admirable results of many birds.

By the successive introduction of fresh material into breeding, the breeding station Ponderosa Polska aims at achieving the quality that will enable every fancier to select pigeons suited to the direction of their breeding efforts. 2010 and 2011 were spectacular among our stud pigeons!

Our current herd features offspring of the first and second line of the best birds, including pigeons after such parents as:
