Huyskens Van Riel Racing Pigeons
Our mission is to produce vigorous flying and breeding Huyskens Van Riel racing pigeons by selectively crossing established inbred HVR families. Most of the fanciers we source from have been breeding Huyskens Van Riel pigeons for 20 years and more.
We are very simply blending their efforts on a limited basis to duplicate their results.
From The Best in the USA
America's best HVR bloodlines. All of our source families go back to Dr. Leon Whitney, George Shilton and beyond.
