FOUCHE (DE KLAK/JANSSEN) STRAIN: NEED TO KNOW

Jos Klak … Beste Ambassadeur van de Janssen Duiven - Louis Janssen

Prior to his death in October 2018, my Stepfather (89) authorised me to distribute offspring of his family of pigeons amongst the pigeon fraternity once again (2019, 2020 and 2021). What inspired him was the claim made by one school of thought that the genetic prevalence of the De Klak/Janssen Strain (by implication he’s as well) has come to an end.   

Ninety percent of the Fouche Strain still stem from nine (9) original pigeons (six De Klaks and three Janssens) which were imported during the 1970s. Still dominating are the Blue Bells, 222 and Perd lines.

Two Janssens from Theo Minnie (Potchefstroom) were introduced over time.

Four Karel Meulemans (Belgium) pigeons (Huyskens Van Riel X Janssen) were introduced - obtained from the late Professor Carel Meintjies during 2001. * This world-renowned Janssen hen’s genetics were aimed at.

Four Janssens from Mark Raubenheimer (KZN) were introduced in 2013. * Parents directly obtained from Louis Janssen (Arendonk)

A Fouche (67%) X Van Rhijn Kloeck (33%) hen from Fred van Heerden (Sasolburg) was introduced in 2014. * This hen flew 12 races in a row - 4 times winner
