CONCLUSIONS 2010The above summary identifies Gaby’s first two birds to loft over17 contests. As a matter of statistics Gaby based birds wereamong the top two birds to his lofts 85% of the time. There were5 non Gaby birds that clocked among the top two 2 birds. Theresults demonstrate that Gaby is not a “purist” but truly seekstop performers outside of his culture to add back to his corefamily of the Kleinen line and has done so since 1982, 29 years.Given this it is fair to say that Gaby has a fully matriculatedfamily of birds that is very dynamic. The evidence is clear thatGaby has access to the best lines available internationally.LOOKING TO THE FUTUREGaby has liberally sought the best of the best from key lofts in Belgium, Netherlands, Franceand others to bring into his colony. These introductions are tested in his own racing teams aswell as well as the breeding loft. Another crucial feature of the search for the ever better isfrom Gaby’s own loft and proven subjects by others of Gaby’s bloodlines. This broad context byGaby leads to the Gaby lines’ wide portability into diverse environments.

SOME RIK COOLS FOUNDATION BIRDSThese foundation hens are present breeding hens in the Gaby and Cools breeding lofts.They include Dagmar first row 2 nd from left sister to Rik Cools champion Bieke 7 timesfirst. Aagje last bird from left top row. Bieke first bird left bottom row. Kaatje secondfrom left bottom row and Darling last bird second row.One of the factors that make our sport successful and portable is the link between thevery rich and those of modest means. Success is a function of talent. So it is with Gabyand Rik. The respect that they are held with in Belgium and worldwide is its own formof wealth. This has increased over the three decades of the Vandenabeele line.The lofts of Rik Cools illustrate modesty and functionality. It is the place where his birdscall home and demonstrate a superior culture.To be observed is that the emphasis is on quality and not quantity.Typical Cools Pedigrees
