In 2021, cousins Henk and Otto Van der Linde joined forces and set up a breeding center with class pigeons from some of the best Dutch toppers: Hooymans, Elzinga, van Loon, Fokkinga, Beute, Bustraan and so on.
Henk van der linde – owner of “Van Der Linde Duivenbakken” – cherished the idea of starting a pigeon breeding center. Due to a possible move of his cousin Otto, this project was actually started and from 2021 they decided to join forces. The accommodation is located in Zwartsluis (NL), where 18 beautiful breeding boxes have been made to accommodate each couple separately.
Pigeons were purchased from several good fanciers, such as, among others.
