Johan Donckers. The Dream Maker from Grobbendonk. Not my first visit, but my first on my own.  Although living in Grobbendonk, a village also home to Dirk Van Den Bulcke, Jos Cools and may others, Johan still races in his birthplace just up the road in Pulle.  Johan moved to Grobbendonk in pursuit of his beloved and charming wife, Suzi, though he claims to remain "Pulle in his heart" . He played soccer there until his late 40s.  He is a natural born competitor imbued with a terrific love of sport and of family. This is so apparent when it comes to his pigeons. When I visited Suzi, was in recovery from an operation on a bad shoulder injury after suffering a fall Johan has taken over the household chores in addition to work and the also, of course, the pigeons. Our best wishes go out to Suzi for a speedy recovery.  No longer interested in the speed races from Quievrain, Johan some years ago moved up to the hafo and fond races and is a name now grabbing considerable attention. Most will have become aware of Johan's name at this year's Blackpool "A night with the Stars", where Johan's birds were the subject of great interest.   Despite holding down a full-time job as a schoolteacher, Johan regularly shows the sprint men of the Tienverbond the way home from Noyon with a team of cocks you would go a long way just to look at and handle. Not peas in a pod by any means yet all terrifically well-muscled, like tennis balls in the hand, wide at the frost tapering to a single feather. The hens are typically apple bodied medium in size though some can fool you into thinking they are cocks until they develop into magnificent young hens built like brick outhouses. Blues dominates with the occasional chequers though the Laenen pigeons are producing the odd grizzle through the Pitbull line.  Johan is becoming convinced it is the hens that will dominate the middle distances now in Belgium.  It is the future, he says with an eyebrow raised in my direction, part question, part statement of fact. He nods toward the hen's section as we climb the stairway to the upper story where the race lofts are. The hens are kept on ordinary YB type perches with dividers between, the floor strung with thick elastic band as in a grill perhaps 4" apart a method also used Gaston Van De Wouwer. The cocks are raced traditional widowhood.  Both cocks and hens are raced in the early races then once seen which are flying best the partners may well be kept at home. Everything is a judgement. Everything is kept simple. Good birds, hard work, observation. Always the inner eye is constantly at work.  _____________________________________ Copyright Disclaimer- This channel used some contents for educational purposes under fair use.
