Based on the best lines from the Belgian pigeon racing scene, including Van Reeth, Engels, Vercammen, Maris, Lambrechts, Verhestraete, Thys, Vervoort, Cools, Peeters, Donckers, Heylen, and more, Johan Van Herck built his own strain that has earned its stripes over the years in various disciplines.
Several lofts have already managed to acquire pigeons from Johan and can speak of very successful purchases!
