The Supercrack family
When I was told that Mr. Aart Griekspoor on top of his fame was considering giving up pigeon sport in order to spent more time on his family, I bought his three foundation pairs that had brought him in the headlines of the international pigeon magazines. His best pair was "De Donkere Supercrack" x "Het Ganske".
"De Donkere Supercrack" is a son of the famous "Reims" bred and raced by Aart Griekspoor, whose children brought the wellknown De Wit Brothers of Kouderk a/d IJssel fame all over the world.

"Jessica" is the daughter of "De 111 or Triple One", daughter of "De Donkere Supercrack" and "Het Ganske".
In his pedigree we notice the names of wellknown Janssen basis pigeons such as: "De Bange", "De Stier" and "De Jonge Merckx". His mother is an inbred hen on the superracer "De Schoorsteenveger" of Daan van der Schalk of Rotterdam who was in 1965 1th Semi-National Ace pigeon in the NABvP with 30.000 competitors. "De Donkere Supercrack" was an excellent racer. As a yearling he won 15 out of 15 and was 1th Provincial Ace pigeon.
