In the month of December 2015 the Dutch fanciers Piet van de Woestijne and his friend Henk Verwoert paid us a visit. They have some Hok Jos Vercammen birds on their lofts and wanted to update us about the successes they had with these birds.
One of the first things Piet van de Woestijne told us was: “Your pigeon “Thunderbolt”(B08-6144141) is in my eyes one of your best breeders. Of course he is a top breeder at your own loft but also on my own loft in Holland the descendants of “Thunderbolt” are very dominant. Their performances are great!”
“Thunderbolt”(B08-6144141) bred different top racers in the past. Also in the racing season 2015 his descendants flew some remarkable results on our own loft.
In 2015 a grandson of “Thunderbolt”(B08-6144141), the checkered cock “Zorro”(B15-6026003), became 3rd National Ace-pigeon KBDB Middle Distance.
One of our best racers in 2015 was the beautiful checkered hen B14-6175241. She is a direct daughter to “Thunderbolt”(B08-6144141). She won for instances three races in a row a national top 100 position!
B14-6175241 won a.o.:
2° Tulle (657km) 184 p.
39° National Tulle (657km) 8,621 p.
5° Provincial Argenton (555km) 442 p.
23° National Argenton (555km) 2,418 p.
8° Provincial La Souterraine (593km) 380 p.
76° National La Souterraine (593km) 2,548 p.
5° Souppes (357km) 1,478 p.
11° Tours (505km) 1,092 p.
