Conclusion

An exceptional young pigeon combining proven racing quality with outstanding breeding potential.

On the sire’s side, “Piet” has established himself as both an outstanding racer and a top breeder, producing multiple winners, including two impressive half-sisters of this young cock. On the dam’s side, “Tsunami” descends from the loft’s foundation pair “Linus” x “Katja”, responsible for numerous winners and top breeders.

A very promising pedigree, combining proven performance, outstanding bloodlines and the breeding potential of two exceptional pigeons.
