Bert Vanden Berghe,
determined to succeed
The East-Flemish Bert Vanden Berghe has made a major
contribution to the history of pigeon racing in Belgium in recent
years. In search of success, he paid a visit to the loft of Gaby
Vandenabeele back in the 1990. Gaby has become a good friend but
he is most of all a supplier of top quality pigeons for the 48 year old
entrepreneur. Bert finally decided to compete under his own name
in 1995 and it was a great success right from the start. He has really
been able to dominate the national competition in a short period of
time.
an important element as well. Bert has always been told to aim for
the top and this helped him reach the national heights in Belgium,
where he is one of the big stars thanks to his passion, his eye for
detail and his ambition.
Bert Vanden Berghe is a son of two very ambitious parents and he
was born in the late 1960s in the region of Waregem, which at the
time was known for its flax farms. His father Roger and his mother
Esther had worked very hard to develop their own carpet company,
where wool and jute was used for the production of beautifully
handcrafted carpets that were sold all over the world. They had to
work hard while also raising four children, who were soon looking
to find their own way. Their children have always been full of
Bert Vanden Berghe has devoted his life to managing the carpet
company nv Roger Vanden Berghe, which made it difficult for him
to find time to run a loft on his own. That is why Bert had to wait
until 2011 before he could run his own loft independently with a
team of talented pigeons ready to compete in the nationals. This
was quite a challenge. Many fanciers, as
well as his suppliers Gaby Vandenabeele
and Marc Pollin, predicted that he would
reach his goal for sure. The two champions
Bert Vanden
were quite right.

The life of Bert Vanden Berghe
is characterised by successful
entrepreneurship. This comes down to
good decision making but being able to
deal with disappointment and bad luck is

initiative. Bert admired the way in which his parents were able to
manage both their company and a four children family with great
passion. They were very committed and their goal was to succeed,
both as parents and as company managers. It seems that Bert has
inherited his drive and ambition from his parents, but it could
well be that this is a characteristic of every Vanden Berghe family
member.
and branches in Belgium but also in Bulgaria. This company had a
great future thanks to the drive of Bert’s mother Esther.
Esther Vanden Berghe allowed her children time to develop and
to pursue their dreams. That is why Bert was free to develop his
interest in pigeon racing. He was only six years old when he had a
small space in the garden to keep a round of 16 young birds from
his uncle, Antoon Laverge. He competed in races up to the middle
distance and despite his lack of experience he managed to have a
few pigeons finish amongst the then most successful fanciers. In
the national days, that take place after the season, Bert was handed
a trophy for youngest independent member in Belgium, which he
received from champion, Guus Taverne.
The Vanden Berghe family received a lot of support from their
relatives. Bert has great memories of his grandfather, Jerome
Vanden Berghe and his uncle, Antoon Laverge, where he had to
stay regularly. The two were pigeon fanatics and their enthusiasm
sparked the interest of Bert as well. Bert had witnessed the
dedication of their parents in successfully running their company
and he recognised the same drive in the way Jerome and Antoon
were running their pigeon loft. They knew the feeling of winning
and this appealed to him. Bert saw that
success made them happy, whether it
was in their hobby or in a professional
career. However, Bert has always been
Bert won a trophy told that you have to be dedicated.
This trophy for youngest independent fancier meant a great deal
in his early career. The greatest champions of Belgium and The
Netherlands saw how passionate he was and they invited him
to their renowned pigeon lofts. On his journey among these lofts
he had the chance to see several great pigeons while receiving
invaluable advice. It proved a valuable experience that would
further shape his philosophy as a fancier. First of all, he was
convinced that top quality pigeons are indispensable to make it
to the top, but that is also vital to find your own way in the sport.
Nearly every pigeon fancier uses his very own approach or methods
and it is not a good idea to try and use every method that you
know. You can make a difference by thinking differently and this
applies to pigeon racing as well as any other sport.
for Youngest
Independent
Member in Belgium
at the age of six
The combination of joy of life and
ambition that clearly characterised the
Vanden Berghe family was seriously
disrupted when Bert was six years old.
His father Roger had health issues and
he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
There was no hope for him and he
passed away at the age of 38. Bert’s
mother Esther had to take up the role
of head of the family more than ever. She raised her family, but
she was also destined to continue her life’s work and that of her
husband. She is very energetic and this motivated her family and
the employees of her company. The nv Roger Vanden Berghe
developed into a mayor carpet factory with hundreds of employees
Bert enjoyed racing pigeons until he was twelve years old. Every
season again the second round from his uncle Antoon was moved
to Desselgem and they were brought back to their home loft by
the end of the season, where they often performed very well as old
birds. Antoon Laverge taught him the basics of pigeon fancying
and Bert already had his own interpretation. Bert could really do
his own thing as a fancier: he learned to take responsibility for his
pigeon family, to reach his goals and to manage his loft at an early
5
age. These skills proved very useful later on as an entrepreneur and
of course as a successful pigeon fancier.
brought to the loft of his uncle, Antoon Laverge and to his own loft.
Both Bert and his uncle put them to the test and they were very
successful: they have won provincial top prizes at a level they had
never reached before. It was a fresh start and a new friendship was
born.
Bert became a successful businessman from his teens to his late
twenties, following in the footsteps of his father Roger and his
mother Esther. Unfortunately he could no longer keep pigeons
when he attended a secondary boarding school at the age of 12,
before completing a BBA degree in Antwerp. This knowledge
allowed Bert to find his place in the Roger Vanden Berghe company,
which he helped to develop into an important international player
in the carpet market. He sometimes came into contact with other
pigeon fanciers and he would always take
the time to discuss the ins and outs of pigeon
racing. A comeback as a fancier seemed
Think
inevitable…
In the 1990s, shortly after his acquaintance with Gaby Vandeabeele,
Bert was eager to make a comeback and he decided to join forces
with Patrick Houfflijn from Wortegem, a highly skilled fancier.
Bert invested in young birds from Gaby Vandenabeele and the
youngsters from De Ronker (1st Nat.
Limoges 1995) and Blauwe Fideel (1st Nat.
Brive 1995) proved particularly successful.

differently
to make a
difference
Bert was annoyed that he could no longer
keep pigeons. He was still closely involved
in the sport as a sponsor but he really missed
the excitement of the pigeons and the races.
It seemed impossible to keep pigeons on his
own, so Bert focused on partnerships instead. Bert had showed in
his teens that he was an exceptionally skilled fancier; his search for
top quality pigeons became one of his priorities and this led him
to the loft of Gaby Vandenabeele in Dentergem, one of the greatest
champions of his time and a very kind person.
and his pigeons
Bert Vanden Berghe is a self-willed
fancier and this translates into a thorough and that has been
selection of direct Vandenabeele pigeons.
my best decision
Most fanciers would place these invaluable
Vandenabeele pigeons in the breeding
as a fancier
loft right after purchase, but Bert decided
to basket them for races first. That
explains why his renowned Zoon Blauwe Fideel had already been
a successful racing pigeon before he demonstrated his talent in
the breeding loft, becoming one of the best direct Vandenabeele
breeders ever.
Bert had witnessed the results of Gaby’s pigeons and he concluded
that these were probably the best pigeons for the middle distance
and the long distance in Belgium, especially in demanding races. He
received a warm welcome on his first visit to Gaby & Christine and
he was really impressed with the Vandenabeele pigeon, a pigeon
with great plumage and excellent navigation skills, which really
makes a difference. Bert ordered a round of eggs from his racing
pigeons that were bred in the loft of Polfliet in Huise, before being
Bert Vanden Berghe continued to visit the loft in Dentergem to
purchase rounds of eggs, because these pigeons had made his uncle
Antoon and his companion Patrick Houfflijn very successful. “Gaby
is an honest man” says Bert. “He has helped a lot of fanciers and
everybody who purchased pigeons from him has achieved great
results, which is really special. In fact we got along very well right
from the beginning and this is important too. I put my trust in Gaby
7
Vandenabeele and his pigeons and that has been my best decision
as a fancier.”
Bert has had great successes in the partnerships with Houfflijn and
Verschuere, but he knew that the ultimate goal of his career as a
fancier was to be running an exceptional
pigeon family entirely on his own. A
15 year collaboration came to an end
After a 15-year
in 2011 and he built a modern and well
collaboration Bert
equipped pigeon loft in his garden in
Wortegem-Petegem. We might as well
Vanden Berghe
call it a pigeon villa. Bert wanted his
finally reached his
loft to be occupied by great pigeons
so he paid another visit to the trusted
goal in 2011: to
pigeon family of Gaby Vandenabeele
independently run
in Dentergem. In 2011 he purchased a
round of young birds from Gaby and
a top class pigeon
the iconic Marc Pollin. Bert’s young
family
birds originate from the best pigeons
of these great champions. He added
a few top quality pigeons of Geert
Vanrenterghem, Rik Cools (for instance the renowned Pipo), P & D
Houfflijn, Etienne Devos and De Rauw-Sablon through PIPA later
on.
Bert Vanden Berghe had become a true pigeon fancier once again.
He knew where he could find great pigeons and he had proved that
his insights could lead to amazing results when combined with a
talented partner. In 2002 he entered into a new partnership with
Jacques Verschuere from Beveren-Leie, where the Roger Vanden
Berghe company is located as well. Jacques had proven to be a
skilled fancier with such top results as a 3rd Nat. Montauban, a 1st
prov. Bourges and a 2nd Nat. Ace Pigeon Long Distance KBDB.
Bert would provide top class pigeons
for this new Verschuere-Vanden Berghe
combination.
The Vandenabeele
pigeons were
used once more
and they were the
key to success yet
again
Bert soon introduced the renowned
Vandenabeele pigeons in the lofts
of Jacques Verschuere, who added
pigeons from his own successful Vooruit
bloodline as well. This soon proved
to be a very successful partnership:
Verschuere-Vanden Berghe won a 1st
prov. Angoulême and a 1st interprov.
Châteauroux and they were very close
to a national victory in 2006, which is a unique feat for any fancier,
if it wasn’t for the KBDB and its rigid rules. This is something
Bert is still upset about and he still thinks his fastest pigeon from
Belgium in Limoges 2006 deserves a reward, as well as the fancier
himself of course. Luckily enough, their other successes have made
up for it. Bert was one of the stars of 2013 with two national first
prizes in the zone and a long list of national top prizes. His partner,
Jacques Verschuere did equally well with a first Nat. La Souterraine
yearlings (fastest of 20,773 p.) and a first Nat. Brive 8,337 pigeons in
a single week. His stock pigeons are descendants of the provincial
winners of the Verschuere-Vanden Berghe combination.
Prizes won in 2011 with young birds only:
Winner (1st-3rd-4th-9th) of the famous
Guldensporen Race from Blois against 3,090 pigeons
Prizes won in 2012 with yearlings only:

Bert Vanden Berghe together with his daughter Alice and his loftmanager Wim Dewitte
An important step in achieving results is finding a team of excellent
loft managers. Bert has to travel abroad regularly as the CEO of
the Roger Vanden Berghe company, so it was important for him
to gather a team of reliable assistants. Bert noticed in the club in
Rekkem that the majority of fanciers had their pigeons basketed by
the same person. This man does great work and Bert knew he was
the man for the job. That man was Wim Dewitte, son of top fancier
Etienne De Witte, who was willing to basket the pigeons for the
Bert Vanden Berghe family together with his wife Vicky. Wim takes
care of the pigeons from 4 o’clock in the afternoon, after his daytime
job at the nv Roger Vanden Berghe. Jurie Vanryckeghem will take
care of the pigeons in the morning. He has been a pigeon fancier
since 2012 and he has been doing well, with the help of a few Bert
Vanden Berghe pigeons.
Bert Vanden Berghe is in charge in his loft, just like in his
professional career. He takes the important decisions, he gives
directions and he makes adjustments when necessary, which has
led to instant results. His young birds were very strong in 2011 and
the yearlings took three national top 10 prizes in 2012. In 2013 Bert
could not keep up with the number of national results, including
two first prizes in the zone and three second prizes in the zone. His
first national from Agen is the season’s highlight.
Bert Vanden Berghe has reached his goal. It all began with a trophy
for youngest independent member at the age of six and today he
is one of the big stars in the competition in Belgium. He has good
lofts and a great team, but he has most of all an exceptional pigeon
family. We have never seen a fancier rise to the top in such a short
time span and this can only be possible with a group of exceptional
pigeons. Bert has become a great fancier at a very early age and
now the best fanciers at national and international level will agree
that Bert Vanden Berghe is among the very best pigeon fanciers of
today!
