He died on March the 8th in 1999. He is the man that made the town Lauwe in West-Flanders famous in the world of pigeon racing.\u00a0Born into a farming family, Andre Vanbruaene was familiar with hard work. His family grew flax, a key constituent in the production of linen, on their farm in the region of Heusden near Ghent.\u00a0Andre learned the trade and the family prospered as yields and demand were high in mid1920\u2019s Europe.\u00a0<\/p><p>In 1925 homesickness led to the family returning to their homeland in the region of Leie, and they quickly resettled back into familiar surroundings. Although Vanbruaene\u2019s parents had prospered, it was Andre\u2019s paternal uncle who was the businessman in the family.\u00a0Uncle Gerome Vanbruaene, recognised that the prosperity given from the flax would be short-lived, as world trends were going away from natural fabrics. He persuaded Andre\u2019s parents to let him take young Andre under his wing and train him in the furniture business.\u00a0<\/p><p>His uncle Gerome also happened to be one of the most successful pigeon fanciers of the region. Living on the farm during the week Andre travelled to his uncles at the weekend. It was on these trips that he spent his pigeon apprenticeship. His uncle knew everyone important and successful in pigeons and young Andre was eager to learn at the feet of these masters.\u00a0On bicycle, his uncle and he would visit the likes of Benoot in Olsene, Lagas in Ingelmunster. Vadecaveye in Wingene Vereecke in Deerlijk and many more. Despite his father\u2019s protestations Andre fitted traps in the roof of the family\u2019s barns and proceeded to accumulate the best birds that his uncle possessed. His uncle was a very impatient man with his birds, even if a bird had won the week before, if it failed the following week he disposed of it and this is how Andre at 17 had acquired some of the best birds in the area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1795\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-13.jpg 700w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-13-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p><p>In his later life Andre recounted one instance when his uncle brought him a young blue cock not yet moulted, that had, as he said, \u201cwalked\u201d into his loft. \u201cYou have to use him Andre. It is definitely a pigeon from very good blood\u201d his uncle showed him the bird and on its wing was stamped the name Deprez form Etimpuis. A friend of his uncle.<\/p><p>On hearing the name Deprez, another top local fancier of the area, Louis Slosse, insisted that Gerome give him the bird instead of a mere youth. The reason being that Deprez was the son in law of the famous Julien Commine, from Leers-Nord. Andre didn\u2019t particularly like the bird but upon seeing the reaction of Slosse, he bred from it and its children had immediate success.\u00a0<\/p><p>Andr\u00e9 was only 17 years young when he started winning pigeon racing on the sprint races. Unfortunately, his natural flair for everything about pigeon racing and the quality of birds provided by his uncle brought him too much success too quickly for the liking of many of his older competitors and he quickly found himself excluded in some clubs because he won too many prizes and championships at such a tender age.<\/p><h6><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1438\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Quote-Icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"38\" \/>&#8220;&#8230;From this pigeon he bred the strain of the Old Stier from 1932. He raced like a Bull from Clermont and yes, that\u2019s how he got the nickname: De Stier from Lauwe.&#8221;<\/h6><p>This made him decide to enter in the long distance racing, the national races.\u00a0 I\u00a0 casually said to my Uncle: If you want that blue pigeon back, then you\u2019re welcome to it. I wasn\u2019t in love with the pigeon at the time, says Andr\u00e9, and yes, how things sometimes turn out. Well, my Uncle gave the pigeon to a young fancier from Kuurne called Germain Desplenter. He raced fantastically with youngsters from this pigeon. Uncle Gerome upon seeing these results eventually woke up and the pigeon returned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>From this pigeon he bred the strain of the Old Stier from 1932. He raced like a Bull from Clermont and yes, that\u2019s how he got the nickname: De Stier from Lauwe. This pigeon also won a first from Orleans and Tours. These early successes meant that Andre soon came into contact with the Cattrysse brothers, with Dupont from Herseeuw and with many other fanciers at the top at the time. They often sat together in the pubs by the pigeon societies. They told each about of their experiences and Andre listened to all these serious discussions like an upcoming star.\u00a0<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1800\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-5.jpg 700w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-5-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-5-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1797\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-2.jpg 700w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-2-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-2-600x418.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p><p>During his early days of national racing he travelled around in the only car in West-Flanders, it was from Reimy Molein from Lepur. He was rubbing shoulders with many wealthy fanciers, all the while having to fund everything from his pocket money. Unlike modern generations he kept quiet and listened, always wanting to hear what he could use to make his birds and himself better.\u00a0<\/p><p>He recalled that on one occasion he was trying to buy a bird from the Cattrysse brothers, \u201cIt took me seven months before I could get hold of the pigeon and then only with the intervention of Ernest Derumeaux, a friend of the Cattrysse. At the time the Cattrysses had been having terrible problems with pylon wires, losing many good birds to them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>He had gone upstairs to the loft to look at the birds and saw a bird on the landing board with the tell-tale sign of a wing hanging down an obvious victim of the wires. Gerard Cattryse said to Gerome Vanbruaen ; look at that pigeon sitting there it is a brother of our Louis. (Louis being the best Cattrysse bird of that time). Andre pretended not to understand what was being said. Later when Oscar Cattrysse the family patriarch came into the loft Andre asked him about the injured bird how much for it, not wanting to let on how good the bird was, Oscar just said \u201cthat\u2019s not a pigeon, it\u2019s rubbish\u201d &#8211; 7 month\u2019s later the bird was eventually in the Vanbruaene loft.\u00a0<\/p><p>At one point Andre met M. Julien Commine, who came to basket his pigeons. He recalls the meeting and the history of the blue cock given to him by his uncle, \u201cHewel, Vanbruaene, young fancier, is how he addressed me. With which pedigree do you play the big drum here? I hardly dared tell him. I said, mister Commine, don\u2019t be angry. And then I told him the events as they happened. Do you have the pigeon, he asked me, do you have it in your loft? Hewel, he said, there is no better sort for breeding. That is a son from my Napol\u00e9on with one of the very best breeding hens from Paul Lamote from Moeskroen. Now, it is important that you should know that Paul Lamote was the leader in the pigeon sport at the time. You couldn\u2019t have a better pigeon, said Commine. That is the best pigeon racing at the moment. Look, he said &#8216;You can keep it, it\u2019s in good hands. But, when it suits you, you have to breed a couple of youngsters out of it for me.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1806\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-11.jpg 700w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-11-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-11-600x389.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p><p>The success he had with him however was cut short, and unfortunately Vanbruaene was never able to breed those youngsters for M. Commine as the second world war broke out.\u00a0Keeping his birds throughout the war was a struggle, they were no longer prized racers but potential sources of food for an increasingly hungry nation. During this period, he was fortunate to have an ally &#8211; Dr. Coene, who as well as being a medical doctor, was also a very keen pigeon fancier and was able to assist in keeping the Vanbruaene colony safer than many of his compatriots birds that were deported to Germany.\u00a0After the war while many others had to start again Vanbruaene still had many of his birds to breed from.<\/p><h6><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1438\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Quote-Icon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"38\" \/>\u201c&#8230;<em>\u201cAndre my pigeon was lucky to come home along with your Stier, the Stier however went after a good looking hen and my bird came straight into the loft.

The entire history of Vanbruaenes success from Barcelona has its origin with the Zwarte Chateauroux from Daniel Labeeuw. He won 1<sup>st<\/sup> National when Vanbruaene won 2<sup>nd<\/sup> national with the Stier.\u00a0Vanbruaene recounts the story after the race when Labeeuw said to him\u00a0<\/p><p><em>\u201cAndre my pigeon was lucky to come home along with your Stier, the Stier however went after a good looking hen and my bird came straight into the loft.

Out of the two eggs that Vanbruaene got, he hatched 2 black pigeons, a cock and a hen. The cock was paired back into his own stock and produced Barcelona I in 1961. Then came the biggest mistake Vanbruaene believes he made in all his time keeping pigeons. He decided to sell Barcelona I to Japan. Luckily he was able to stall the Japanese man and let him quickly fertilise a few hens which gave him \u201c Elektriek&#8221; and the hens from which all his good pigeons now come.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1796\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-1-600x405.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p><p>Elektriek was a formidable pigeon, son of 1<sup>st<\/sup> International Barcelona, and an excellent breeder. And that doesn\u2019t happen that often. A good pigeon which also becomes an extra breeding pigeon. They don\u2019t all breed well.\u00a0 was a great exception. Nearly all Vanbruaenes stock comes down from him with continual successes, at Vanbruaenes and in other lofts, around the world. It was the cock \u2018Vechter 3429141\/79\u2019 who won 1st international Barcelona for Andr\u00e9 for the second time. He won against 13.033 pigeons. This cock was called \u2018Barcelona II\u2019 after the victory. He was a grandson of \u2018Electriek\u2019 and had some blood from prof. Vangrembergen.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1803\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-8.jpg 700w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-8-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-8-600x431.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1802\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-7.jpg 504w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-7-300x417.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1801\" src=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-6.jpg 381w, https:\/\/virtualstockloft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Vanbruaene-6-300x551.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/><\/p><p>Elektriek bloodline produced 4 international Barcelona winners: Gilmont in 1983, Vanbruaene in 1984, Vervisch in 1985 and Gyselbrecht family in 1995.

The best weather for the Vanbruaene birds. Andr\u00e9 clocked his 8th bird on the 1,847 prize international. He only had 8 birds in race! Most fanciers did not have one bird at home, Andr\u00e9 had 8\/8. Andr\u00e9 clocked 10\/10 a few years later on Barcelona. He owned birds that are born to race Barcelona. Andr\u00e9 became sick in 1991 and participated for the last time in the Barcelona race. He won 20th and 91st international then ! What a way to end a career.
