The Bloodlines Behind our 14. Place Winner: NL25-1095380NL25-1095380
A key to success lies in breeding, and our pigeon NL25-1095380NL25-1095380 is no exception. On the sire side, this pigeon is a grandchild of Son Romario 199, considered one of Simon Wolf’s most superlative breeding cocks, as well as the exceptional hen Runa. On the dam side, it descends from the pairing Bor × Kai Mook, pigeons that have already proven themselves before, as very good breeders, in the Eijerkamp loft.
