Co and Piet Verbree

Cor de Heijde has shown once again from the St.Vincent National why he is a big name at the very top of  the pigeon sport. And he has once again proven that the bloodline of his world famous pigeon “The Klamper” excels especially in tough conditions.
What these birds have won in recent decades not only in their own loft but for many fanciers elsewhere defies the imagination.
