NL-2026-8535327, bred by Bakker Pigeons, combines close-family racing success with the documented Bakker, C & G Koopman and Chris Hebberecht breeding connections. A grandchild of both ARTUS and GERSHON, this pigeon brings together NPO-winning ancestry and a productive maternal family.
The performances of its half-brothers and half-sisters are a leading attraction. The pedigree credits these close relatives with:
- 1st Mettet against 1,491 pigeons
- 5th NPO Salbris against 3,184 pigeons
- 8th NPO Issoudun against 10,153 pigeons
The sire, NL-2021-1033070, Son "ARTUS", was bred by R.A. Bakker & Zn from ARTUS and Daughter "VALITAS". Paternal grandfather ARTUS, NL-2017-1101069, won 1st NPO Issoudun against 4,296 pigeons, also 1st Sector 3 against 14,084 pigeons in the same race. The paternal grandmother is a daughter of VALITAS, NL-2008-1304438, credited with four top-10 finishes in long-distance NPO races. ARTUS himself is bred from the Koopman pigeons ARTHRO and "811", the latter described as a daughter of Davids Son and Daydream.
The dam, NL-2022-8307804, "GERSHON X 358", comes from the direct pairing of GERSHON × GOLDEN PHOENIX. GERSHON, NL-2009-1674546, bred by C & G Koopman, is the father of Yvette, 2nd NPO Blois. His parents are MAIGOM—recorded as a son of Ermerveen's Hope and Gerard's Favo—and the Chris Hebberecht-bred HEBBERECHT 941, BE-2005-4391941.
Maternal grandmother GOLDEN PHOENIX, NL-2019-1506358, achieved 7th NPO Fay aux Loges against 4,050 pigeons. She is a daughter of GERMINY, NL-2015-1522947, winner of 1st NPO Blois against 2,310 pigeons in 2016, paired with the Koopman-bred NADRA. With successful half-siblings, an NPO-winning paternal grandfather and proven racing and breeding strength on the maternal side, NL-2026-8535327 offers a compelling pedigree for a breeding-focused buyer.
