Peter & Gwen Van de Merwe (Dordrecht) The loft with the hundreds of references

12 Jan 2021

It looks like the title of a fairy-tale book, but if you analyse it very well, it must feel like that for Peter and daughter Gwen. About the performances in Dordrecht we will talk next time but now we would like to explain the references. 

Unbelievable how many fanciers are more than successful with the Van de Merwe pigeons and this as well within as outside Europe.

Enjoy for a moment:
