“I'm glad to see that you're writing an article about
Jelle, he is deserving of everything he has accomplished
in a short amount of time. He is on top of his game as a
Young Bird Champion. I first met Jelle at the 2012 U
convention here in Los Angeles. We immediately struck
up a friendship, at that time we decided to partner up in
one loft races. At the convention there were some
representatives from the global international OLR in
Mexico. Jelle agreed to send to some young birds to the
race. Jelle proceeded to send me a cock, Belg 12-
‘Sunny Wall’, a grandson of ‘Queen L’ and a son of
‘Sonny Queen’. ‘Sunny Queen’ is the dam to ‘Seven’, Best
young bird in seven National races 2013 for Jelle. ‘Sunny
Wall’ proceeded to breed the 1st place final winner
global international 350 miles also first place semi-final
winner 300 miles. ‘Sunny Wall’ is grandsire to ‘14 Skyline
140’ that won for me the Coast to Coast $30,000 1st
place 112 lofts and 2,058 birds. Jelle birds excel at 300 to
400 miles as young birds, as proven by the birds that I
have and others as well. Jelle is as a dedicated a pigeon
flyer as you will find. His attention to every detail is
unsurpassed, he has a relentless pursuit to be the best.
Tremendous character and integrity, always can count on
him for advice, he's always willing to share his
knowledge on the birds” – Juan Gomez personal

“We (Ledet-Gutierrez) purchased our first pair of birds
from Jelle the year we visited him and his dad on our
trip to Europe, July 2012. We have purchased mostly
direct but have picked up a couple of birds off of PIPA
(like Alabama nestmate to Oklahoma). I fly Club,
Combine, Federation, and futurities where the results
exceeded my expectations in fact, just super. Yes we have
the ‘Queen L’ lines. In fact we have mostly his old
original lines (‘Queen L’, ‘Eleanor’, ‘005’, Jessica &
Houben crosses). Of course we have a son of ‘Oklahoma’‘Gigi’ bred by Geert Kolvenbag, owned by Bill
Weima.‘770’ bred and flown by Bill Weima and she was the
best record racing hen ever flown at Silvercreek Loft.Jelle with team of Roland Gutierrez and Dean Ledet.Jelle with team of Roland Gutierrez and Dean Ledet.
