The name of Houben is not very well known in the UK which is quite surprising, for in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Taiwan and Japan, the Houben pigeons are very well known and much sought after, usually fetching very high prices.
The present day partnership of Jef (Joseph) Houben, his son Luc and daughter Nadia dates back to 1990, however, prior to then, it was Houben & son, which was Gerard Houben with his son Jef, until the death of Gerard when he was 82 years old.
