Gabriel Catrinescu – The Elegance of Selection, the Strength of Achievement

In a quiet corner of Râmnicu Vâlcea, Gabriel Catrinescu has built, through rigor, perseverance, and a clear vision, a colony of pigeons that impresses not by quantity, but by genetic value and competitive consistency. Under the name Team Catrinescu, his loft has become synonymous with authentic selection, verified performance, and professional integrity, qualities confirmed time and again in Romania’s most demanding pigeon racing competitions.

Within his lofts can be found descendants of Europe’s most prestigious bloodlines, each introduced with a precise goal – to strengthen a breeding core capable of transforming potential into performance. Among these are world-renowned strains from Batenburg–van de Merwe, Jelle Jellema, Gaby Vandenabeele, Arie Dijkstra, Dirk van den Bulck, Koopman, Patrick Boeckx, and J. Hooymans – each chosen for a distinct trait: endurance, orientation, consistency, or explosive strength.

The current auction highlights descendants of emblematic breeders – New Laureaat, Witpen Rivaldo Golden Red Barcelona, Lloyd, Special One, Olympic Romee, and Invictus – bloodlines tested at the highest levels of international competition, capable of adding true genetic value to any loft aspiring not just to participate, but to stand out.

The value of Gabriel Catrinescu’s pigeons extends far beyond their pedigrees. It is confirmed by consistent national results, among which stand out:

• 1st FNCPR – Marathon Breeder Palmares, Ace, General & Young Birds (3 years, 2021)

• 1st National Super Ace – UCP (2015)

• 1st FNCPR – Youngsters Breeder (2018)

• 1st FNCPR – Young Birds Breeder, Oltenia Province (2018)

These titles represent not just statistical achievements, but the confirmation of a tradition of performance and genetic coherence, through which Team Catrinescu continues, year after year, to remain among the elite of Romanian pigeon racing, both in mature and young bird categories.

This auction is not about big names, but about proven genetic heritage. Each pigeon offered carries the mark of a rigorous selection process, where every decision results from testing, confirmation, and conviction. These are not random pairings, but the expression of a coherent genetic project, scientifically structured and validated through results.

Gabriel Catrinescu does not offer promises – he offers continuity in excellence. For those who seek authentic quality and proven performance, this auction stands as a discreet yet firm invitation to the very essence of modern pigeon sport – where true value is confirmed in flight.
