The pigeons offered come directly
from Jef Vanwinkel, this is due to a drastic
reduction in the stock of breeding pigeons.
Hence this exclusive sale on Top Pigeons. Jef Vanwinkel has had a good friendship with Günther Meinecke from Germany for many years. Günther helped Jef to offer this group of pigeons. For all buyers in Germany, Günther is prepared to bring the pigeon to Germany for 50 euros transport costs.

One of the current progenitors within the Jef Vanwinkel colony is undoubtedly the "Zilveren 371" B98-2181371 (a pigeon from the year 2000, ringed with an old ring). He comes from the team of "Son Blauw Engels 084/98" x "Lady Driebander 050/99" (himself 13° Nat Bourges 18,028 p., 4° Nat Zone C Bourges 4,506 p... and daughter of Stock Pigeon "Witten Engels 513/98" x "Dochter Driebander 412/95").
The Zilveren is responsible for the colour of the so-called brown band blues, which keeps coming back, even with blue and chequered pigeons. The stock consists of the Engels pigeons from Putte, Janssen Arendonk pigeons and the Driebander. These pigeons have left their mark on the Vanwinkel loft for years. There are many pigeons that are kept closely related and that are always good for great success. Albert Derwa has introduced pigeons in recent years, mainly from the Pauline line, that fit very well with his pigeons.
Jef is a fan of racing hens and has achieved his greatest successes with it.
Performance is of great importance to him; only the best flyers get a place in the breeding loft. An important characteristic of his pigeons is the silky plumage, to which he pays special attention. His experience is that pigeons with silky plumage can deliver better performances.
He is especially proud of the health of his pigeons. They rarely visit the vet and yet they perform excellently. This is also the reason why he tested negative 9 times in 9 doping tests.
Jef's motto: I fly clean.
