Jespers – Vanderwegen from Holsbeek with their new top hen “Ramona”

22 Jan 2023

The Jespers – Vanderwegen colony lives in the Flemish Brabant municipality of Holsbeek. Herman & Johnny have been forming this tandem for several years and always with success. Over the years they were first specialists with the youngsters and then they also focused on old birds and yearlings. A colony that, thanks to some golden breeding lines, can present good performances both here and elsewhere. This season it was mainly “Ramona” who kept the honor, you can read her honors list and more info further in this article. But she is now coming under the hammer together with some other special children from their top breeders.

This colony also won several super results with the youngsters in the national races and in 2014 they won 1st National La Souterrraine with “Nadetta” against 9,204 yearlings, in 2015 1st National Ace pigeon longer middle distance youngsters KBDB with “Super Ricka” and in 2019 1st National Montlucon with “Justin” against 14,104 pigeons and fastest of 23,971 pigeons.

Only they are related to stock father "Kleine Dirk", a cock that they were able to acquire in 2003 through Dirk Van Dijck. He quickly grew into a top breeder and is also a grandson of "Den Bourges", a brother of the world famous "Kannibaal". Afterwards they looked across the border at Ad Schaerlaeckens for crossing material that went together fantastically. Now in the current racing and breeding loft, several top pigeons are related to this crossing and they provide top racers in the 3rd and 4th generation. To make it complete, they visited Gaby Vandenabeele in 2010 and brought home several children of "Rudy", all of whom became toppers in the breeding loft. “Rene” – “Remy” – “Ronaldo” … the breeding loft was top notch and ready to shine.
