Azziz.. 1st Nat.NPO 18,406 birds!!

Yesterday Maurice Van Der Kruk from Tiel, Holland emailed to say he won 1st National NPO Mantes la Jolie in Afdeling 7 in Holland against 18,406 birds. The race was very hard in a headwind and showers that resulted in around 50% day returns and very slow and tired returns next day.

The winner is AZZIZ a two year old blue pencil hen a previous winner from Epehy,Strombeek and Nanteuil and she is a half sister to PRINS SENS winner of 1st NPO Sens Afdeling 7 against 2450 birds and 2nd Pommeroeul against 17,563 birds.  

Sire of AZZIZ is the super 'ZIDANE' cock of the Van Der Kruks a winner of 2nd Dutch National Ace WHZB Natour 2004. He is bred from the multi performance bloodlines of Klinkhamer and Son crossed with Admiraal - Padding.

Dam of AZZIZ is '14 KARAT' the super breeding daughter of the 'YOUNG COUPLE' that Maurice bought at our Blackpool auction in 2006. She is already responsible for some really top performers including the famous 'OBAMA'.

In his own words " Supers paired to Supers breed more Supers!!"

Dutch Master

4th May 2010

Dutch Master

This is a really nice cock to have around. He is tame,full of intelligence, handles exeptionally well, has a super race record and a fantastic pedigree being bred from the famous Marijke Vink couple 'Tips' x 'Geschelpte Kannibaal'. 

We named the cock 'Dutch Master', however maybe we should have kept his original name. Marijke called him 'Future' and he is certainly a part of that in our breeding plans.

It is now very pleasing that his grandchildren are having the racing succes we hoped for.

The latest performance is reported by the very succesfull Doonan and McGuiness partnership from Northern Ireland.His grandson (when he was paired to a daughter of 'Samson' of Marina Van der Velde) won 1st club 625 birds and 1st section D 3,512 birds from Rosrea last week.

Many congratulations Wayne...you really deserve it with the effort you put in.
