Arjan Beens the best long distance fancier of his generation and all round good guy decided to take a break from the sport for a while to spend more time with his young family. The Duif arranged his clearance auction in January and was without any doubt the highlight of the winter auctions with his multi performance marathon bloodlines transferred to all corners of the pigeon sport world.

The catalogue produced for this auction detailed the top results and breeding methods that made Arjan the long distance champion of the last decade. It also demonstrated how a talented fancier could keep things really simple by concentrating on racing and severe selection through racing to produce just fantastic results from one generation down to the next and the next.

For example Arjans great hen Rika (NL04-1418619) bred from the bloodline of his close friend Jelle Jellema would not only perform at the highest level by winning 1st National NPO Perigueux against 7,581 birds from over 600 miles ,67 th National Limoges 13,239 birds, 80th National NPO Brive 6,872 birds and 95thNational NPO Perigueux 6,303 birds but she would become one of the best breeding hens in Dutch long distance history.

Some examples of her direct children:

As a thank you to De Duif , Arjan presented a really magnificent young hen NL14-1489100 ‘Witpen 100’ to the Golden Duif Auction that was bred from his champion racer and breeder (and son of Rika) Snelle Jelle when coupled to Smart Lady a hen owned by John Aarts that won 1st Dutch National Asduif Marathon in 2011 with these results in just one year…7th National NPO Bordeaux against 3,855 birds, 14th National NPO Bergerac 4,939 birds and 14th National NPO Cahors 4,133 birds.  Arjan and John Aarts arranged this special pairing of two champions paired together before he sadly decided to stop with the sport.

Further details of Snelle Jelle and Smart Lady below.

We were very lucky to be able to buy Witpen 100 for our own breeding loft. She is a really strong bodied , silky feathered young hen with nice rich golden eyes that together with her fantastic bloodline will be a very suitable mate for our good breeding cock Waalre.
