Mike the best Fancier or partnership.

In the last 25 years the impact of Leo Heremans on numerous other families cannot be denied

When he got his hands on "OLYMPIADE 003" it was a game-changer

For me Leo and "003" are the best of the 21st Century

I would have to say the Janssen Bros, for years and years they have bred proven winners. Also proven breeders. not forgetting their birds being crossed by many other top fanciers.

That’s interesting and good to know your view

The volume of winners coming through OLYMPIADE 003 is just insane

That's an interesting question.
For me, the greatest ever. influence on the racing pigeon breed was the Janssen brothers. To this day their pigeons are a major influence in most of the great strains around the world.
Today I would agree that Leo Heremans has had a huge influence on the sport as Mike said, especially through the Olympiade 03 of Gust Janssen.

I think its hard for me to answer without a timeframe but i probaly would have to agree on the olympiade 003 an absolute super breeder.
Id also have to tip my hat to van den bulck tho i think his impact the past 10-15 years comming from Goede rode x Olympic Rosita is also not to overlook in my opinion
