28/05/2010 - 1st, 2nd, 3rd NPO Rekkem against 19,409 pigeons
Frans won gold, silver and bronze on the NPO race from Rekkem against 19,409 pigeons, certainly a wonderful performance.
Another striking fact is that all three of these pigeons have a rich amount of the Hans Eijerkamp and Sons blood flowing through their veins.
The NPO winner is the NL08-2070716 "King of Rekkem".
This cock's father is also the father of the super breeder "Franske", via Jan Ganzeveld, a 100% Eijerkamp Janssen out of the "Gouden Smeulders" x "Wonderboy 05Wonderboy 05" lines.
His mother is inbred to "Dutch Prince" a grandchild of "Boy" x "Queen".
The "716" had already performed well before this NPO win as can be seen below:
- 2nd Boxtel against 11,887 pigeons
- 7th Duffel against 8,886 pigeons
- 19th Arras against 7,781 pigeons
- 22nd Boxtel against 9,525 pigeons
The 2nd prize winner was NL09-1695886 "Prince of Rekkem" and is out of a daughter of "Dutch Princess" (granddaughter of "Boy" x "Queen") x a granddaughter of the "EuroEuro".
The "EuroEuro" is an exceptional breeder for Hans Eijerkamp and Sons, this crack was purchased at the Heremans-Ceusters total sale.
The 3rd prize winner on the NPO Rekkem is the NL08-2070768 "Queen of Rekkem" and is out of the same breeding pair as the NPO winner "716".
