JP Depuydt says goodbye to pigeon racing due to health problems. For many years he was a great champion in West Flanders and specialised mainly in the speed races, with occasional slips in the heavy middle-distance and long-distance races. The base of the loft was built with the famous pigeons of Roger Florizoone from Nieuwpoort, which he acquired through Roger Degrave from Voormerzele. The current basic breeders are without doubt BE13-3047067 ‘Golden Breeder John', original John Bruneel - K 2, himself winner of 4. Prov. ace SD YB and his son BE17-3090671 'Super Ace Wythie' - K 1, with an exceptional record as a racer and breeder. The basic bloodline of the 'Golden Breeder John' is the fabulous Willy Vanhoutte - Wevelgem.
