Herbots | Rino Verheye from Aalbeke and his real All Round colony

Rino Verheye and Miranda from Aalbeke in West Flanders play very well year after year, preferably in all areas. The preference here is for national flights, but on the shorter flights from Clermont you have to start taking them into account. It is a real All Round colony that can compete up to 700km. The colony here largely runs on the stock couple “Benny Hill” x “Emillia” and their superstar “Jommeke” who became 2 x 1st Prov Ace Pigeon All Round KBDB. Rino and Miranda simply believe that the basket will determine which pigeons will end up in the breeding loft in the future, so flying is the message and then showing them in the flights of truth is the goal here.

Superstar Jommeke

One of the standard bearers of this colony is “Jommeke” BE 16-3005665. He himself was a real wonder racer who belonged to the very best Ace pigeons 2 years in a row and was 2 x 1st Prov Ace Pigeon All Round in a row in 2016 and 2017 in the province of West Flanders. Few pigeons who have done that before and after him. Afterwards he was placed in breeding and several toppers came out. What luck and a good choice by Rino not to sell such a topper.
