NL-2026-8463698 – “T. Koele en Zoon 698” is a chequer pigeon bred by T. Koele en Zoon, combining Rik Ros’s proven marathon breeding pair with the outstanding Barcelona performer Milou. This pedigree brings together national-level family results and international Barcelona quality through direct grandparents.
The sire, “Rik” NL-2023-9329048, bred by Rik Ros of Lekkerkerk, is a direct son of “Stamdoffer Gijs 27” NL-2017-1296827 and “Stammoedertje Ros” NL-2016-1882610, the pair identified in the pedigree as Rik Ros’s super couple. Their offspring, also recorded as siblings of Rik, achieved 4th National Dax, 4th National St. Vincent and 4th National Libourne—compelling evidence of the breeding strength behind the sire. This branch also carries Jan Ouwerkerk’s foundation family through Stammoedertje Ros, a daughter of “De 13” and “Super 063”. Another direct ancestor is the Koele-bred great-grandmother “Super 827” NL-2015-1404827, herself winner of 5th National St. Vincent.
The dam, NL-2024-8199046, is a direct daughter of “Tonnie” NL-2016-1097494 and “Milou” NL-2018-1614560. Milou’s Barcelona performance in 2022 earned 17th National against 4,842 pigeons, 32nd International against 16,832 pigeons and 16th International hens against 6,168 hens—three rankings from the same exceptional race. Maternal grandfather Tonnie, bred by A.J. van Dam, adds 8th NPO St. Vincent and 9th NPO Dax, together with the title of Marathon Champion Pigeon, Section 8 GOU, 2019.
A particularly appealing pedigree for the marathon enthusiast: a grandchild of Rik Ros’s productive breeding pair, and a grandchild of both Barcelona standout Milou and marathon champion Tonnie.
