Vrancken – Berden from Kuringen and his golden breeding line of “White Man” and “Olympic Rico”

Anyone who has followed the national speed championships with young pigeons in recent years will end up in the top colony of Vrancken – Berden from Kuringen in Limburg. Anyone who has won an Olympiad pigeon 4 times with their young pigeons and several National Ace pigeons since 2017 until now is simply one of the best young pigeon colonies available. 

In 2017 it started with “Het Olympiadeke” 3rd Olympiad pigeon young pigeons, 2 years later superstar “Wout” was born, 2nd Olympiad pigeon young pigeons Poznan 2019. That same year “White Man” won his 2nd Ace pigeon title in the sprint. He became 12th National Ace Pigeon speed yearlings KBDB in 2018 and 3rd National Ace Pigeon speed old birds in 2019 and 1st World Ace Pigeon FCI Speed ​​Belgium. A superstar of stature who was then referred to the breeding loft. The year later in 2021 it was a complete success with “Olympic Rico” who brought several ace pigeon titles to Kuringen. In detail, this means that “Olympic Rico” became 1st National Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB due to his super season in 2020, after which he became 1st Nat Olympiad Pigeon Olympic Hope Cat.F KBDB 2020 and World's Best Ace Pigeon FCI Sprint (olds, yearlings and youngsters together) 2020 This last title not only counts for Belgium but also for all countries that participated in this competition. Or the highest of the highest that “Olympic Rico” could win. So he is even stronger than his father and “Rico” ensures the greatest success and is now in the breeding loft at the Herbots home. Last year “Super Toon” (a direct son of old stock father De Gek) became 2nd Olympic pigeon young pigeons for Belgium in Maastricht and a full sister of Rico again became 4th Olympic pigeon young pigeons for Belgium in Maastricht.

We are now bringing the last young pigeons that were bred from the breeders before the big auction last year in the autumn. You will no longer be able to find any children from these couplings because all these parents have been sold, with the exception of the parents of “Rico” and “Miss White” who are present in the breeding loft of the Herbots family.

Super couple “White Man” x “New Niki” 

You sometimes come across something special in your pigeon racing career, so you can consider the flying career of “White Man” to be fantastic. He flew at a very high level for 2 years with the very best speed pigeons that can be found in Belgium and afterwards formed a fantastic breeding couple with “New Niki”.

In just 4 seasons she bred 3 National Ace pigeons among the young pigeons, which were among the best 5!!! heard at national level. We first had “Olympic Rico” who became 1st National Ace Pigeon speed KBDB 2020 and 1st Olympiad Pigeon Young pigeons and also 1st World Best Pigeon FCI on speed against old, yearling and young pigeons. In 2022 it was the turn of “Miss White”, she became 4th National Ace Pigeon speed young pigeons KBDB and this season it was the turn of “White Paulien”, who became 5th National Ace Pigeon speed young pigeons KBDB. 

“White Man” comes from Rene Vervoort and “New Niki” was purchased from the total sale of Antoon Neven. They both flew very well and afterwards this resulted in a fantastic breeding couple. The offspring of “Olympic Rico” from the Herbots family is also nothing short of fantastic at home and abroad and will be presented to you in detail tomorrow. 

Here is a full brother of superstars “Olympic Rico” – “Miss White” and “White Paulien”
