Avec près d'une vie entière consacrée au sport colombophile, on peut affirmer sans crainte que John Smits est devenu une figure incontournable du monde international des concours de fond. Ce couvreur à la retraite, originaire de Grevenbicht dans le Limbourg néerlandais, a parcouru le monde pendant des années et a évalué des dizaines de milliers de pigeons appartenant aux plus grands amateurs qui aient jamais existé. Sa passion pour le grand fond l'a amené à côtoyer des champions tels que Jos Martens, Lei Martens, Jan Stevens, Smeets-Penris, van Heumen, Lei Kurvers, etc. John a ainsi soigneusement constitué son propre cheptel de pigeons pour les épreuves extrêmement difficiles. Une souche caractérisée par un plumage souple, une énorme capacité de récupération et, surtout, une volonté de fer pour rentrer au pigeonnier dans les conditions les plus difficiles. Les résultats dans son propre pigeonnier ne mentent pas et son ami intime Wim Breemen peut également témoigner de l'injection de qualité apportée par les pigeons Smits. John lui-même doit lever le pied pour des raisons de santé, c'est pourquoi Pitts propose pour la première fois un lot de pigeons de ce grand maître néerlandais. Laissez-vous convaincre par leur qualité et leur pedigree exceptionnel et essayez d'en acquérir quelques-uns, car ils se font de plus en plus rares !
