Team Van de Pasch (Grubbenvorst) moves up a level with 3 national ace pigeons in 2025

The Olympiad pigeons at the Van de Pasch household are in any case the most in the history of the entire Dutch pigeon sport. The record is in their name and they will add another one to it next winter. Their “Unlimited Dream” will become 1st Nat Olympiad Pigeon Netherlands middle distance 2026. This top hen will also become 1st Nat Ace Pigeon Netherlands middle distance PIPA 2025. In addition, they have found a successor to “No Limit”, their “Bella Ben” brings a new ace pigeon title in the sprint to Grubbenvorst. This hen wins 1st Nat Ace Pigeon sprint Npo / WHZB 2025 and last year also became 6th Nat Ace Pigeon sprint Npo / WHZB 2024. A wonder hen in the hand and in the air that can now strengthen the rock-solid breeding loft. In second place in these rankings is another Van de Pasch pigeon, belonging to Wim Van de Pasch and an original Team Van de Pasch pigeon that won silver. This hen will also be joining the breeding loft, and her future will only be stronger from it.

If you look at the pedigrees of these three pigeons, you'll always find the lines of "Big Ben" or "No Limit." These are the standard-bearers of this colony. "Big Ben" was bred from a joint breeding with Willem De Bruijn. Here, "Olympic Hurricane" was paired with "Olympic Argentonneke," resulting in "Superkweker 289," the sire of several super breeders in the breeding loft. The dam of "Big Ben" is a daughter of stock sire "Jupiter," who was paired here with "Bolero Girl," a descendant of Maurtis Haesendonckx.
