Peter Horvath owns a fantastic top flyer with his „Eijerkamp Diamant,“ which has already secured 2 pure first prizes on its record. Peter lives in Cifer, a small village in the southwest of Slovakia between Bratislava and Nitra. Traditionally, their pigeons fly from the northwest direction, and 12 km before reaching Peter Horvath’s loft, the pigeons have to cross or fly around hills ranging from 400 to 600 meters high, making it challenging for both the pigeons and the results.

Peter is more than satisfied with his performance in the Speed and Middle-Distance races, especially with a top pigeon like „Eijerkamp Diamant“ in his loft. The pigeon owes its name to its mother, whom Peter collected in the autumn of 2020 in Brummen, and who is a granddaughter of the top pigeon Diamant.Below is a short video of NL20-1249475, featuring Henk Jurriens as he selects and advises Peter Horvath about this grizzle hen.

The father of „Eijerkamp Diamant“ is a German cock DV03145-20-2076, which is 100% pure Dirk van de Bulck, as his sire is bred from a full brother of „Olympic Rosita“ and his dam is bred from a son of the famous „Kittel„.

The mother, NL20-1249475 „Grizzle Diamant,“ was purchased from the H. and E.J. Eijerkamp lofts. This grizzle hen is bred from „Ramzes“ x „Grizzle Lady„. „

Ramzes“ is a son of Diamant, who won seven 1st prizes at the Vandenbrande Bros lofts in Belgium and became an excellent breeding cock at the Eijerkamp lofts, siring and grandsiring several top pigeons. „Grizzle Lady“ is almost pure Eijerkamp-Van Loon, bred from a son of Abel paired with a granddaughter of Silver Shadow.
