GB21 V 61820 CHEQUER COCK · Out of a nephew of Hooymans' New Harry, from a hen whose dam bred a 4th National Ace Bird young birds

GB21 V 61820 is a chequer cock built from two branches of Jan Hooymans' "Harry" family. His sire, "Harry Perfecto", is a son of a full brother to Hooymans' "New Harry" — so he goes straight back to New Harry's own parents. His dam, "Alexia Biesmans", bred by Wout Spierings, is a daughter of "Daughter Alexia", the super breeding hen behind "Princess Alexia", 4th National Ace Bird young birds.

The Sire — NL2019-1023258 "Harry Perfecto" Ch cock · Jan Hooymans · bred from a full brother to New Harry and Max

Harry Perfecto's sire, NL2017-1411114, is a full brother to both "New Harry" and "Max", which makes Harry Perfecto a nephew of New Harry and a grandson of the pair that bred him: "Beauty Harry" (NL2012-1784621) and "Stareye" (NL2010-1881869, C. v.d. Wetering). The card sets out the record of that nest as 1st National Ace young birds on the PIPA ranking, with 1st Niergnies from 14,737 birds, 1st Pont-Sainte-Maxence from 12,894, 1st Quiévrain from 11,337, 1st Quiévrain from 3,513, 1st Melun from 1,046, 1st Sézanne from 740 and 1st Péronne from 329.

Harry Perfecto's dam, NL2017-1409961, brings a second performance line. She is a half-sister to "Blue Brave" of C. v.d. Wetering, described on the card as a top racer and breeder, and a half-sister to "Dion Harry", three times top 10 NPO. She is out of "Jonge Dion" of Heremans and a daughter of Dirk Van Dyck's "Di Caprio", which adds Belgian blood to an otherwise Dutch sire's side.

The Dam — NL2019-3934702 "Alexia Biesmans"

Pencil blue hen · bred by Wout Spierings · direct daughter Gertje × Daughter Alexia

Her dam is the strongest single pigeon on the card. "Daughter Alexia" (NL2012-1783985) is described by the card as a super breeding hen, and her produce supports it. She is the mother of NL16-186…, 1st Ace Bird semi-provincial middle distance and 2nd Golden Crack FZN, and of "Princess Alexia", 4th National Ace Bird young birds and 1st National Ace Bird Topwings.

foot note from the seller below.

These pigeons are on auction as my partner has health issues and I have work commitments. These 6 lots would definitely not be up for sale otherwise! Four of these lots are directly from Leo’s loft just before they were all sold to china. They have all bred winners up to federation level!
