Gust Hofkens.. hofkens strain?
Grondelaers specialised more and more to the middle distance and the provincial flights. But Jan thought it was time to get him some reinforcement, which he found with his colleague butcher Gust Hofkens from Merksplas. Everybody already knows that Super Jan had a good nose to buy good pigeons. In fact he already bought several good pigeons with Hofkens before the man became famous..
The base of Hofkens was mostly Janssen-pigeons that Gust got via Fons Janssen, one of the Brothers of Arendonk. Because of a very strict method, Hofkens was able to write down the very best results. Mister Hofkens was able to score with 50 first prizes per season and all because of an unsophisticated system. This was very much appreciated by Grondelaers because Jan didn’t like it when birds couldn’t stay healthy by themselves. Birds that got helped by several artificial products and too much of comfort.
Who doesn’t know the super couple Driebander x Theeuwes-hen, the Phenomenal Geschifte (6311120/72), the Fondman (6311131/72), the Kleinen, the Bourges (2nd and 9th national). The Driebander was a grandson of the famous basic cock, the Eenoger. In 1965, Jan bought the breeding couple, Eenoger 6353631 of ’56 x Van de Bosch-hen of ‘59 for a lot of money. These two had breed about four youngsters at the loft of Grondelaers, but one of these was a superior bird… as a two-year old this pigeon flew 13 of 14 with 7 first and 4 second prizes!
A daughter of the Eenoger gave the Bourges, 2nd national against 15.000 pigeons and a 1st provincial. In fact the Eenoger appears also twice on the pedigree of the Orléans I and Orléans II.
Jan also bought with Hofkens the nest-brother of the Kleinen, which became grandfather of the Goede Jaarling. Jan also bought the Bourges; his daughter is mother of the Orléans I and II. But Jan bought a son out of the couple Driebander x Theeuwes-hen too. His daughter is the Wit, mother of the Goede Jaarling. And we could continue… everything Jan touched, turned into gold, that’s for sure.
