COMBINATIE KROON & ERREN, VEN-ZELDERHEIDE

Specialists on the ZLU flights !!

In 1989 the combination Jos Kroon and Jan Erren was formed. Jos Kroon has been active in the pigeon sport for over 55 years and Jan Erren has pigeons since 1980. From the start of the combination, it has participated with great success in the program flights. Many championships in different disciplines have been won in those years. They had an Olympiad pigeon in 1995 and with their JONGE RAMONA they had the 1st National Ace Marathon Afternoon Release (from 2015 to 2017). This JONGE RAMONA was bred from their SUPER pigeon RAMONA, a real top racer with 12 marathon prizes, including a 31st National Barcelona and a 33rd National Tarbes.

In 2010, VALE JOS (a daughter of RAMONA) went to Gerard Kok in IJsselmuiden. Gerard had known Jos and Jan since 2005 through a pigeon he had rescued, and they became very good friends. The line of JONGE RAMONA continues to perform exceptionally well in Jos and Jan’s lofts.

Due to a good friendship with Gerard Kok – IJsselmuiden, a close collaboration has arisen and this resulted in a high quality breedingloft with pigeons from these big champions:

Jelle Jellema from the lines SILKE, MG430, ZWART GOUD, KLEINE JADE and SOPHIE

Combinatie van Schijndel & zn from the lines of FRANK ( superbreeder and full brother to MG430), TECHNO M (1st National Barcelona Wim Muller) and QUEEN TONNY (Frans Bungeneers).

With their PANTHEA they had a FANTASTIC pigeon in their racing loft in 2019 and 2020. She won a 32nd National Perpignan 3.354 ’20 and a 37th National Perpignan 4.287 in ’19 and is the 2nd National Ace Perpignan ZLU 2019-2020 !!
