Hok Bommerez from Heverlee confirms their rock-solid breeding base

The colony of Michel and Maarten Bommerez from Heverlee in Flemish Brabant, with their rock-solid breeding loft, is a proven top team, to which several recently proven top pigeons have been added in recent years. Of course, it remains to be seen whether these pigeons will prove successful in the breeding loft, but some of them are already delivering some excellent results.

Below is an overview of the results achieved with some of this colony's top pigeons.

For father Michel, pigeon racing is a hobby and will always remain so, family and his job used to be the main priority. Now he enjoys his retirement and son Maarten is more passionate than father Michel. It is not easy for son Maarten because he lives and works in London, but fortunately the online world of today is an advantage to be able to follow a lot. They communicate very often and the cameras film the arrivals online so that Maarten can still experience his piece of pigeon racing every week. 

The references at Olivier Poussart simply continue and with 3 National winners and a 1st National Ace Pigeon he is also doing fantastically and you can rely on a rock-solid breeding loft here. They certainly want to continue on that path in the coming years.
