These birds are iconic in the world of pigeon racing. The partnership between Frans Huyskens and Jef Van Riel dominated Belgian pigeon sport from the mid-1940s through the 1950s. Known for their unbeatable performance across short, middle, and long distances, their pigeons were so dominant that competitors often refused to pool money against them.

If you're considering adding Huyskens-Van Riel bloodlines to your loft, they’re prized for their consistency, endurance, and racing intelligence.
