Hugo Batenburg, can without doubt be considered the best current breeder of pigeons of Jan Aarden origin in the Netherlands. The Batenburg-Van De Merwe family focuses on long distance racing all season long. His philosophy is that "top class pigeons are derived from first class pigeons".
Jelle Roziers has inherited the last of the mythical Houben lineage. The Houben family is one of the lineages with the longest trajectory and history in the world of pigeon racing. Both his grandfather and the great Jef Houben have taught Jelle Roziers everything he knows about pigeons. He is an expert in young birds and Queen L is his star breeder.
