G.SON OF ARTUS, MISTER UNIQUE, LADY LILIANE
BEST OF DEMELY LILLIANE X R.A BAKKER
SIRE IS RODNEY: DIRECT SON OF MISTER UNIQUE AND LADY LILIANE
Mister Unique is widely regarded as one of the most extraordinary Belgian racing pigeons of recent decades.
Top Performances:
1st National Limoges vs large competition — fastest pigeon of the race.
2nd National Brive in the same season, just two weeks apart from his Limoges win — both under challenging conditions.
These results gave him an exceptionally low racing coefficient (~0.0353%), making him one of Belgium’s best long-distance performers ever.
Breeding Impact:
After his racing career, Mister Unique became a highly influential breeder.
His offspring have already started delivering prizes, with daughters and sons winning 1st club prizes and achieving strong provincial/national performances.
His genetics appear to combine both speed and endurance, making him sought after for breeding programs across Europe.
Lineage & Influence:
Mister Unique comes from a long line of top racers and breeders in the Demely loft, including bloodlines known for consistent class at national level.
His pedigree includes birds such as Den Tulle and other proven performers.
Lady Liliane is one of the top national racing hens bred and raced by Demely Liliane.
Major Victory:
1st National La Souterraine — fastest pigeon overall vs 11,668 pigeons in a classic long-distance national event.
She posted an impressive average speed over 1,170 m/min, marking her as a true long-distance classic winner.
Pedigree & Strength:
Lady Liliane is bred from strong middle/long-distance bloodlines within the Demely loft — her sire is Gilbert (multiple provincial wins) and her dam comes from a family line that already includes provincial winners.
Her performances continue the tradition of the Demely strain: quality over quantity — small teams but high-impact results.
DAM IS A DTR OF ARTUS
ARTUS
“Artus” – Grandson of Valitas and sire to multiple 1st prize winners.
Artus — NL17-1101069 — is a highly respected racing pigeon (blue check cock) bred and raced by R.A. (Ruud) Bakker & Zn., one of the Netherlands’ top pigeon racing lofts known for elite one-day long distance performers.
Artus built an excellent record on the national and NPO (Dutch pigeon racing) stage, with notable results including:
1st National Sector 3 — Issoudun vs 14,084 pigeons — a major long-distance victory.
5th NPO Fay-aux-Loges vs 4,050+ pigeons.
9th NPO Châteauroux vs 3,243+ pigeons.
Other strong all-around results in big races like Vierzon and Bourges.
These performances underline his ability both to compete against very large fields and to deliver consistent top prizes — traits prized in serious racing lofts.
Artus isn’t just noteworthy for his own results — his pedigree and impact as a breeder make him especially valuable:
He descends from the famous Koopman bloodlines and includes foundational pigeons like Valitas, a multiple top-10 NPO performer.
Artus’ genes have produced numerous top-placing offspring in major races, including NPO victories and top national rankings.
His bloodline is widely used in auctions and breeding lofts across Europe, with many younger pigeons marketed as sons and daughters of Artus (“Artus line”), prized for inheriting his racing prowess and consistency.
At R.A. Bakker & Son’s loft (Ruud and his son Dolf), Artus has been a cornerstone breeder in a dynasty of elite racers. The team has produced standout results in major NPO races and often dominates in big contests thanks to careful selection and breeding strategies.
Overall, Artus NL17-1101069 is recognized in European pigeon racing not just for his competitive successes but also for the genetic strength he contributed to future generations — a true benchmark in the Bakker breeding loft.
