LEGENDARY FRANS & JOSÉ BELLETER – CHAMPIONS OF MARATHON PIGEON RACING

Frans & José Belleter, a reference name in international pigeon racing, have made history from Nispen, Netherlands. Known for their passion, dedication, and outstanding performance in marathon races, this couple has climbed to the top of the European pigeon racing elite through rigorous genetic selection and a clear strategic vision.

They became widely known across Europe thanks to exceptional results in races of 850–1200 km. The pinnacle of their success is represented by “Olympic Theodoor”, who placed 2nd at the 2019 Pigeon Olympiad (Category E – Marathon), along with other pigeons achieving top results in challenging races such as Barcelona, Pau, and St. Vincent.

The Belleter pigeons come from a rich genetic background, including Theo Ernest, H. Wijnands, Suijkerbuijk (“Lady”), and Luc van Coppenolle. This valuable line is bred and tested in real racing conditions, year after year, producing consistent results. Their loft infrastructure is top-class: well-ventilated, intelligently compartmented, immaculately clean, and meticulously maintained.

Frans Belleter has been featured in several documentaries and international reports, including “The Marathon Duiven of Frans and José Belleter”, which highlights their birds and breeding philosophy. Their pigeons are highly sought after in international auctions and One Loft Races.

Belleter pigeons have also contributed to the success of other top fanciers. Among them is Twan Bongers (NL), with whom they achieved top rankings such as 15th, 17th, and 45th at Barcelona 2014. Belgian champions like Binnemans–Van de Weyer also incorporate Belleter pigeons in their famous “Golden Barcelona” line.

In short, Frans & José Belleter are a true benchmark of excellence in pigeon sport. By combining passion, discipline, and smart selection, they have built a genetic line that dominates the marathon racing scene. Now, part of this legacy becomes available to the public through exclusive auctions on trusted platforms.

For any fancier aiming for top results, Belleter pigeons are more than just hope – they are tradition, hard work, and a real path to the podium.
