For years, this father-son combination was consistently among the favorites in the sprint and small middle distance. Father Lucien, who knew the ins and outs of the trade better than anyone, always took care of the daily care. On weekends and on his days off, Johan (64) took over. However, last year on March 22, Lucien passed away at the age of 88.
Johan: "2023 and 2024 became quite a challenge, especially since my mother also passed away in the meantime. The focus was therefore not always on pigeon racing… Since this year, I have been retired, which is of course a great relief as I can now make more time available to deal with the pigeons. My father, Lucien, had been playing with pigeons since he was 12 years old. He always belonged to the better enthusiasts, and I hope to carry on this tradition, even without him.“
Total widowhood
At the Vandebroek household, the focus is mainly on sprint and small middle distance, in other words the races up to about 450 km. The playing system consists of motivating the pigeons on total widowhood, but to a certain extent, as some widowers or playing hens have a fixed partner that stays home. The racing team for 2025 consists of 24 widowers and about 20 racing hens. Approximately 100 rings are ordered each year, which are worn by youngsters from the 1st, 2nd, and to a lesser extent also some from the 3rd round. These are bred from about 25 breeding pairs, with the foundation consisting of lines from Louis Keirsmaekers (Nijlen), Walter Lambeets (Aarschot), Patricia Verhaegen, Leo Heremans, and recently Georges De Keyser (Messelbroek) and Peter Celis (Zolder).
Experience for young pigeons
The youngsters are generally raced on the sliding door. “They must have the necessary experience to become a widower, but are certainly not overworked,” Johan said. To gain the necessary experience, they are darkened but not given extra light. They are taken out a few times themselves and thereafter go with the society. As mentioned, there has been little opportunity for the young pigeons lately, so the focus has shifted entirely to the old and yearlings. These are only tossed once or twice; after that, they go directly to the race with the society.
'Little medication results in strong pigeons'
The veterinarian only visits for mandatory vaccinations. The only treatment scheduled is a tricho treatment before the breeding season and one before the racing season. Johan: “A sick pigeon is removed, unless it is really a very good one, then we will call the veterinarian. We assume that good results can also be achieved with simple guidance. By that, I mean without all those complicated feeding schedules, visits to the veterinarian, and various tricks that may confuse the pigeons. Quality, motivation, and health of the pigeon are the most important parameters for achieving good results in all races. If the lofts are good, the pigeons will not get sick quickly, and there is no need to visit the veterinarian all the time. As for motivation, that is something everyone has to fill in for themselves. A box, a strange pigeon in the loft, or sometimes just one perch (cap) can be enough.” According to the season, the feed mixtures (Versele Laga or mixed) are adjusted at Vandebroek: sport, moult, breeding, or cleansing, and only natural byproducts like garlic and apple cider vinegar are used.
Strong at home and beyond
The pigeons of Johan Vandebroek and the late Lucien not only perform well at their own loft; they have also achieved great references at other lofts. For instance, they were the supplier of the 1st Provincial Ace Pigeon Young Speed and the 2nd National Ace Pigeon Young Speed KBDB 2014 via a cock that was collected as a bonus at Vandebroek. There is also Vandebroek blood in the 1st National Ace Pigeon Young Speed KBDB 2019 through a hen sold at the Pitts auction in 2018!
- 15th National Ace Pigeon Speed Young Pigeons at the loft of Jos Vanbrabant.
- Jean Connaert (via Mark Dirix) achieved a provincial victory with a descendant of the Vandebroek loft.
- Furthermore, a 1st prize winner (Sermaises) against more than a thousand pigeons at Walter Lambeets (Aarschot), again with a young pigeon bred from a hen purchased at the Pitts auction in 2017.

"Since 2022, our locality was banished to the West-Sector (previously Middle-Sector). This means that we now have to struggle from an extremely unfavorable position against competitors located in the west. Our loft is situated in the far east of the West-Sector. Nevertheless, this year we still managed to achieve 6 x 1st prizes within the Great Regional West game."
In 2022, 54 first prizes in the local game, 9 x 1st in the small region, and 3 x 1st in the large regional game
Last year (2023) 29 first prizes in the local game, 2 x 1st, 1 x 2nd, and 4 x 3rd in KG and 2 x 1st and 3 x 3rd in GGW.
This year (2024) 66 first prizes in the local game, 7 x 1st, 2 x 2nd, and 5 x 3rd in KG and 6 x 1st and 2 x 3rd in GGW.
