GRONDELAERS (Since 1971) We were one of the first lofts to import pigeons from this late fancier to the USA, before anybody here knew who he was. The first pair I received was a gift from Jan Grondalaers himself and we later obtained many more after that, including the entire 3rd round from his breeders in 1990, most of these were later sold to Taiwan. Their offspring produced many top notch pigeons, most notable the winner of the 1992 San Diego Classic. The cock from the gift pair mated to a daughter of the "Orleans I", especially selected by Jan to be mated to him, became my foundation pair. This blood still flows very strongly through these pigeons today. We have pigeons that are related to some of the following champions: "Bourges", "Orleans I", Orleans II", "Kleine Blauwe Kweker", Chateauroux", "Goede Jaarling" etc.
