NL-2026-8464265 – “T. Koele en Zoon 265” is a chequer pigeon bred by T. Koele en Zoon, combining the documented Barcelona and Agen performances of Heikamp & van Doorn with the Koele breeding lines of Mr. Beens, Stammoedertje 094 and Super 099. A grandchild of the outstanding racing hen “De 794” and a great-grandchild of NPO winner “Super 099”, this bird offers a pedigree firmly anchored in long-distance performance.
The paternal highlight is “De 794”, NL-2019-1454794, bred by Heikamp & van Doorn. Her racing record includes:
- 30th National Barcelona 2022 against 4,842 pigeons.
- 5th NPO Limoges 2021 against 1,971 pigeons.
- 92nd NPO Limoges 2022 against 1,739 pigeons.
The sire, NL-2022-8268695, is a son of this hen paired to “Zoon 23e Nat Agen”, NL-2021-1713120. Through the latter, the offered pigeon is also a great-grandchild of “De 932”, NL-2017-1044932, 23rd National Agen 2019 against 5,214 pigeons. This branch additionally introduces the explicitly recorded Krouwel Pollmann × Bennie de Vries blood through “De 747”.
Close-family performance is a major attraction on the maternal side. The dam, NL-2024-8199597, is a sister to a pigeon placed 4th NPO St. Vincent and a half-sister to a pigeon placed 51st NPO Bergerac. She was bred from “Big Brother”, NL-2018-1614541, and “First Daughter 099”, NL-2018-1614492—both recorded as parents of the St. Vincent performer.
“Big Brother” is a direct son of “Mr. Beens”, NL-2008-1167239, bred by Arjan Beens and identified as a foundation cock for T. Koele en Zoon, paired to Henri Hoeks’ “Stammoedertje 094”, NL-2012-1097094. “First Daughter 099” is bred from “De 054”, 13th NPO St. Vincent, and “Super 099”, NL-2014-1648099, 1st NPO Périgueux.
A compelling combination of national-level racing credentials, close-family NPO results and directly documented Koele foundation stock.
