Westerhaar: Father-son combination Hilbert and Rik Doldersum are sometimes also called the ‘canons of the East’. A name that they got thanks to their iron strong pigeon game. Especially on the short distance and middle distance race they know how to handle things. Top results thanks to their solid breeding base which is built on direct pigeons from Leo Heremans, Stefaan Lambrechts, Rudy Van Reeth, Telmer-Wittenbrink and Eijerkamp Hans Evert-Jan.
