as well as ‘Oklahoma’s’ only sibling ‘Alabama’. Jelle is an
honest, truthful, hard worker and yet eager to learn
more.”– Roland Gutierrez personal communication.
“We purchased 99% of our Roziers direct from Jelle. We
race in Club, Combine, and One Loft races. The Roziers
have been real good to us since we purchased them, we
have won or placed with them at all levels. They are
superb pigeons an seem to cross well with our other
birds. We have mainly the ‘Queen L’ lines. A son of
‘Oklahoma’, and the only sibling to ‘Oklahoma’, his sister
‘Alabama’, a son of ‘Wall Street’, and many more quality
birds. The Roziers are performing well as breeders an the
offspring of the originals are performing superb as
breeders for us also. Jelle is a good friend, an honest an
forthright person, a super guy!”– Dean Ledet personal
communication.

“I bought my first three Roziers pigeons in 2011 on line
via an auction in Florida. I still have one of these three:
The King of Kennett (brother to the King of Belgium)
both grandsons from Shinji San and Queen L. Some of
the history of getting Roziers birds is described in the
article that was published in the RPD with the title “The
Story of the Three Sisters. These famous Three Sisters
were bred from Blauwe Jelle and Jolie L and therefore
have 4 x Queen L in their pedigrees. Each sister bred one
or more winner in their first year of breeding at three
different lofts (Bill Weima, John Guttierez and
Kolvenbag & Son. I have five direct birds from Jelle –
King of Kennett was bought in a Florida auction on line,
Jolie L and Blauwe Jelle were bought directly at Jelle,
Tulsa was bought in an auction at the AU Convention
and Jupiler is a yearling that arrived just this winter
came directly from Jelle. I only race in OLRs, I am not
able to race from my home due to neighborhood
restrictions I can list you many results. I attach the 2017
OLR results to this document as an appendix. One of the
results I am very proud of is the 41st in the final 336 mile
MDPR race, with only 43 day birds from 2161 birds
shipped by the King of Blues, he came home in semi
dark when there was thunder and lightning. This bird is
a real smart bird with a lot of character. In his first year
of breeding he already bred me an equal 1st 350 mile
winner. Great, honest and straightforward person,
always learning, during his visit he was checking out
what supplements I was giving, but also shared what he
gives to his breeders. He is very easy to communicate
with. Great fancier!”– Geert Kolvenbag personal

“Of the 49 top 10% positions won, 48 have ‘Queen L’
blood in them. Of these 46 have ‘Jolie L’ in them. With
the arrival of ‘Jolie L’ a revolution has taken place in my
small breeding loft. The Three Sisters, all three, produced
winning young birds in their first year of breeding and
the ‘King of Blues’ showed in the MDPR, I knew I had a
good one. So decided to adjust my plan to build a loft
around ‘Jolie L’. I put all the children and grandchildren I
had in the breeding loft. Then adhere to my principle of:- Breed a lot; 2. Race them all; 3. Race them all the way;
- Select hard. I have no room to keep extras, breed for
stock or for sales. I am pure
focused in breeding for OLR
races. The decision to focus
on Jolie L was a good one.
In 2018 I have six children
and nine grandchildren in
the breeding loft with 18
pair. While I pay close
attention to the mtDNA
while choosing matings, I
have also come to believe
that there must be a success
factor on the X chromosome
that plays a role in breeding
good one loft racing
pigeons. In other words,
‘Jolie L’ is super and beyond
expectation! I think that the
‘Queen L’ birds are very
smart and are able to
maintain a superb health
easier than the average
