Donk, a district of Herk-de-Stad and home base of the pigeon racing couple Kristin & Robert. The performance of the pigeons from this man/woman combination in recent years is truly fabulous and can be traced back to the lineage of their foundation doffer NL17-1339105 “Argenton”.
This top auction features only the best that Kristin and Robert have to offer, including 4 offspring from “De Mooie” (son of “Argenton”), 2 offspring from their foundation doffer NL17-1339105 “Argenton” and 1 grandchild of this foundation doffer.

This top doffer descends directly from the foundation doffer NL17-1339105 “Argenton”
The pedigree of this “Argenton” reads like a fairy tale and proves once again that supers come from supers. In this pigeon, we find the best of the Gebroeders Scheele (Superboy) combined with Verkerk, Hooymans, and Koopman. You won’t find better on the market.
The father of “Argenton” himself flew 5 times in the top 5 in the popular teletext races in the Netherlands. The fruit didn’t fall far from the tree, and “Argenton” proves to be a true foundation breeder for Kristin and Robert. The following impressive list was flown by his offspring:
