With fabulous skill they have made their own hand visible and recognizable everywhere.
Jan Ernest can now also be classified as an old master, but then in the field of the pigeon sport. In 2010 he once again proved that he is not just a fancier, but also a professional. He worked with a palette of pigeons, whereby his hand remains clearly visible. He has developed a unique type of pigeon and all that with an apparent naturalness. The breeding worth of his pigeons is great.  http://www.pipa.be/nl/newsandarticles/fancier-index/4302   
Racing pigeon fanciers who have a ‘Jan Ernest’ in their private collection will have noticed the added value of the pigeons of this old master more than once.

It is clear that Jan is also interested in the same type of pigeon by other fanciers. The arrival of the 08-3839955 from colleague fancier from Tilbeurgh there was another influence which can possibly complement the pigeons. The performances of Jan’s sort inspire the current pigeon fancier.
The pedigree of  Jan Ernest is still alive and kicking within the pigeon sport. An implementation which contains the -261, the roodoogje, the brommer, the -55, the F-line, the Pau, the Barcelona couple and now also includes the Dokus and the -477.  It can justly be called a life's work.
