NL-2026-8535960 combines the Bakker–Koopman family with a concentrated double connection to ARTUS. A direct youngster of RED BERLIN × MISS MONACO, both bred by R.A. Bakker & Zn, this pigeon brings together documented breeding results and NPO-level racing performance across several generations.

Recent family results give this pedigree particular appeal. Both parents are recorded as grandparents of ‘592-25’, which achieved 4th Niergnies against 6,194 pigeons and 9th Duffel against 9,307 pigeons, and of ‘577-25’, placed 7th Niergnies against 6,194 pigeons. These are results of their grandchildren, demonstrating breeding strength behind the offered pigeon.

The father, RED BERLIN, NL-2021-1032690, is a son of the noted breeder ‘223’, NL-2018-1725223, bred from GERMINY × ADISA. GERMINY, a direct great-grandfather of the auction pigeon, won 1st NPO Blois and recorded three top-ten placings in one-day long-distance racing. The paternal grandmother, INS BURO, bred ‘471’, recorded as the department’s best middle-distance pigeon. She is herself a daughter of VALITAS, with four top-ten NPO long-distance results, and NEW HOPE, explicitly recorded as a half-sister to Kleine Dirk and Mighty Man.

The mother, MISS MONACO, NL-2023-9173246, is bred from two children of ARTUS, NL-2017-1101069, making her a concentrated breeding around this NPO Issoudun winner and three-time NPO top-ten racer. ARTUS therefore appears twice as a great-grandfather of the offered pigeon. This maternal branch also includes direct great-grandmothers GERMINY S DREAM, winner of 2nd NPO La Ferté-Saint-Aubin, and NADRA, described in the pedigree as a super breeding hen.

An appealing pedigree for breeders seeking Bakker–Koopman foundations, repeated ARTUS ancestry and recent family performances against substantial fields.
