PETER VAN DE MERWE

One of the most celebrated Dutch pigeon families on auction on PIPA

A household name

Peter Van De Merwe has been one of the household names in pigeon racing at international level ever since he started keeping pigeons in 1985. Descendants of his strong team of breeders have achieved brilliant results worldwide, not to mention in Peter’s own loft.

He was able to win an impressive 18 NPO victories in the past years thanks to the bloodline of Replay, which is the foundation of his pigeon family. Peter Van De Merwe will now bid farewell to his life’s work, as he is auctioning his entire collection of old birds (from 2006 to 2013) on PIPA.

The entire ‘Replay’ pigeon breed
The auctioning of several youngsters and grandchildren of the astounding breeder Replay (a direct Marcel Sangers, 100% Koopman) will draw a lot of attention for sure. Replay is the breeder of several generations of prize winners, including at least 8 NPO winners, which makes him one of the most iconic breeding pigeons in our sport today. His son Replay Junior was more than capable of following in his footsteps, and he will be the centrepiece of this one-off auction.
