NL-2026-8535059 — R.A. Bakker & Zn breeding with substantial C. & G. Koopman ancestry and a family rich in leading race results. Bred by Nico Blokker & Co, this youngster is out of two R.A. Bakker & Zn pigeons: cock NL-2023-9173355 and hen NL-2023-9173326. Its appeal lies in the combination of direct NPO performers and successful racing relatives on both sides of the pedigree.

The paternal grandparents provide particularly strong performance credentials. Grandfather NL-2021-1032961 is credited with three top-ten NPO results:

• 2nd NPO Vierzon against 2,362 pigeons, also 3rd Sector 3 against 10,138 pigeons.
• 3rd NPO Châteauroux against 2,383 pigeons, also 9th NU against 12,313 pigeons.
• 4th NPO Vierzon against 2,671 pigeons.

Paternal grandmother NL-2021-1032901 adds her own 8th NPO Gien against 2,071 pigeons. Her pedigree combines a son of Panamera × Flirt with a C. & G. Koopman daughter of Jerson × Marani.

The maternal family adds further depth through successful siblings of both grandparents. Maternal grandfather NL-2022-8307608 is recorded as a brother to “466”, whose results include 2nd La Ferté against 3,493 pigeons and 8th Châteauroux against 7,541 pigeons. Maternal grandmother NL-2022-8307557 is recorded as a sister to pigeons achieving, among other results, 2nd Pt.St.Max against 6,103 pigeons and 4th Pont Sain against 9,142 pigeons.

The documented ancestry also includes Germiny × Malika and the Koopman-bred Fireball, paired with a daughter of Weston × Adisa. A pedigree offering a compelling blend of direct NPO performance, successful collateral family and clearly established Bakker–Koopman breeding.
