Janssen-Van Den Bosch & Janssen pigeons have been entwined for well over half a century, at the base of the Meuleman-Wouters line is a Janssen based hen (the Golden Pair hen) and at the base of the janssen line is a Van Den Bosch hen (Grand dam of the Halve Fabry) , so it is inevitable that we would at some point aquire Janssen pigeons.
We studied some top Janssen lines and fanciers and in our opinion certain lines were more desirable than others, those are the lines of Ed Grens with he's Schalies the other and owner of the best Red Fox Janssens in the world Richard Middendorp, both Dutch Fanciers of very high reputation. We have aquired in 2025 three fabulous breeders "Rode Draak"NL22-8412529, bred down from the Golden Couple of Family Romein pictured above, "Wonder Licht 718"NL24-8362718 bred from the old original Bertie Camphuis lines of Wonder Red NL94-2542381, brother of Wonderboys 05 and 06, Wonder Licht contains the bloodline of "Super 531" 74-2366531, Grandson of the Oude Bange 51 of Janssen Brothers, " Zuster Famous 05" 78-2207007, "De 46 Verbart" 65-1384946, "Vos De Bijter" 69-6322235, Also we have "Wonder Vossen" NL24-8363752, also containing the old bloodlines of the Vos De Bijter x Schoon Voske, added is the old Smeulders bloodline of "Super 531"
It is hard to find and source pure lines of the Janssen brothers pigeons in the sport today, very few have them that are good to type, Herman Beverdam, Ed Grens and Richard Middendorp in our opinion have that type, and without doubt in our opinion Richard Middendorp has what can only be termed as the best I have seen of the red foxes anywhere. we endorse Richards bloodlines and would refer anyone to sample what can be described as Janssens with real class.
