The foundation of the breed 'Moeraert-Standaert' is based on 4 basic strains:

      ·      Jozef Van de Voorde from 'Desteldonk' who has the pure 'Legiest' and 'Lavent-Claes' pigeons.

      ·      Jozef Neyt from Gent who has the best of  the 'Marieën-Roybergh' and the 'Houben' strain available.

      ·      Marc Burms from 'Lokeren' who has the pure 'Edmond De Kerpel' from 'Buggenhout' pigeons (descendants from the 'Mitterand' and the 'Parel') who had on his turn the pure 'Cattrysse' strain.

      ·      Roger Meyvaert pigeons have been acquired to ensure the future for the very long distance races.  Descendants of the very best from Roger, e.g. from the 'Narbonne', populates the lofts at Lochristi.

The outcross breeding of the above strains resulted in a breeding loft that is producing excellent all-round pigeons. Both, in the breeding loft as in the racing team, with only first price winners, a clear line can be recognised where brothers, half brothers and ditto sisters together with cousins, nephews and niece  are ready for the service.

The foundation of  Moeraert-Standaert is mainly based on the descendants of 'DE STIER'.

 "DE STIER' himself  won 7x 1st prize at the loft of  'Jozef Van De Voorde' and  won several early prizes.

 "DE STIER' gave with several females' excellent descendants.

 "DE STIER' mates now with his granddaughter and produced several champions like the 2^nd Provincial Medium Long Distance. The children of 'DE STIER' and his granddaughter are

not only excellent racing pigeons but appear to be superior breeders.

4 brothers of this couple populate know the breeding loft and will ensure the future of the strain.

All descendants of 'DE STIER' coupled with pigeons of 'Marc Burms' and 'Jozef Neyt' are of excellent quality for both racing and breeding. These pigeons can fly early prizes and even fly ahead on distances from 300 to 600 Km.
