His name is synonymous with world-class pigeons in Belgium for decades.  He auctioned pigeons from the most famous fanciers such as Verstraete, Engels, Thone, Imbrecht, Dr. Peeters, Van Derma Elen, Desmet-Matthijs, Slaets, IGO and Daniel van Ceulebroeck and many others. For over 25 years he was the editor of the famous Louis "de Duivensport Belgian". He was engaged in his career and was always in the top positions. Louis built a very successful team of Pure White team of Racing Pigeons with pigeons like Snowman, Witte Louis, Witte Thalis, Witte Koning, Louis Junior, White Albert, Heloog and Blanco. Louis also developed the Pietrain Strain of pigeons which are renowned worldwide for their performance, style and wonderful feather quality. With his son in law Frank Scherens, they were a dynamic team. Skyhigh Doves were fortunate to be able to acquire breeders a few years ago, and also the last 5 Pure White Breeders from the Scherens VanGrambern loft.
