Auction-ready pigeon with measurable derby results and notable final-race performance.

Ari Pukkel — NLD 26-8370945, a cock bred by Gerben Knol, combines the race-winning H. de Kock family with a concentrated pedigree connection to Henri van den Berg's Olympic Nicole. He is a son of De 190, bred by G. vd Aast, and Inteelt Pukkel Nicol, bred by GJA Halfman.

His paternal grandfather, De 281 — NL-2013-1775281, provides outstanding direct racing evidence:

  • 1st Hannut against 7,687 pigeons
  • 1st Charleville against 1,533 pigeons
  • 11th Ruffec against 587 pigeons

Bred by H. de Kock, De 281 is a son of Stamdoffer B and Stamduivin B, the hen identified in the pedigree as De Kock's foundation hen. Ari Pukkel's paternal grandmother, Fee — NL-2017-1669493, adds 23rd Laon against 2,257 pigeons. Fee is a granddaughter of both Olympic Nicole and Miss Jolie, with Lorenzo and Pieter Veenstra's Gucci also appearing behind her.

The maternal family adds significant NPO performance connections. Maternal grandfather Victor — NLD-2021-1533356, bred by Johan de Vries, has a documented sibling connection to the following results:

  • 3rd NPO Issoudun against 2,815 pigeons
  • 6th NPO Châteauroux against 2,037 pigeons
  • 8th NPO Châlons-en-Champagne against 8,285 pigeons

The maternal Pukkel Nicole branch is also credited with breeding a 1st NPO Châteaudun winner. Victor and maternal grandmother Rita descend through two full brothers, NLD-2016-1098798 and NLD-2016-1098799, both sons of De Kannibaal and Olympic Nicole.

Olympic Nicole — NLD-2010-1144563 — appears four times in Ari Pukkel's fourth generation, through both paternal and maternal routes. This repeated ancestry, combined with De 281's large-field victories and the maternal family's NPO results, makes Ari Pukkel an appealing pedigree-based breeding prospect.

Team Knol Pigeons, raced under Gerrit Knol from Zwolle, has built a strong AviRings Derby profile with standout results across several seasons. Highlights include 10th against 2,693 pigeons in AviRings Derby PRO 2026 Race 1 with NL-2026-8578436, 23rd against 1,264 pigeons in the 521 km AviRings Derby 2024 Final Race, and 26th against 2,015 pigeons in AviRings Derby PRO 2025 Race 3. In the 2026 PRO series, the team also recorded 32nd in Champion of the Nations, 92nd in Average Speed and 114th Ace Pigeon with NL-2026-8578436. These results underline a loft capable of producing competitive OLR pigeons at both speed and final-race distances.
