Combinatie Wakker: only looking out for the best

One auction we'd like to draw your attention to is that of the Wakker Combination from Urk, the Netherlands. Gerrit Wakker has invested heavily in recent years in the very best international pigeon racing has to offer, and he's offering pigeons from this strong foundation.

The foundation pair is "Saint Pierre" x "La Grande Dame."

"Saint Pierre" B19-4184583 is a direct son of two world-famous pigeons, namely "Porsche 911" x "New Kim."

"Porsche 911" B14-2230911 
won 5th National Ace Pigeon KBDB longer middle distance '15 
bred in two generations: 
3 x 1st National, 5th, 7th, 9th and 9th National Ace Pigeon winner KBDB.

"New Kim" B18-6063796 - originally from Gaston Van de Wouwer and sold for €1.6 million to Kaier. 
Won: 1st National Ace Pigeon KBDB young birds and bred in two generations:

"La Grande Dame" NL20-1775678 is a direct Willem de Bruijn hen, bred from "Secretariat" x "Francis." 
"Secretariat" NL19-1667269 won 1st National Ace Pigeon Young Birds WHZB and is one of Willem de Bruijn's most famous foundation pigeons.

Gerrit Wakker offers the following offspring from the pairing "Saint Pierre" x "La Grande Dame":

Another golden opportunity was the purchase of direct Ad Schaerlaeckens pigeons. Both purebred and crossbred, this proved to be a bull's-eye. And the best part is that Gerrit is offering the proven breeding hen "Maiasaura" (NL21-1248726).

"Maiasaura," a direct Ad Schaerlaeckens hen, is a proven breeder as she is the dam of:
 

2nd Boxmeer 18,906 b., namely "Kimba" (also offered in this sale)
5th Marche 1,955 b.
5th and 6th Luyksgestel 1,566 b.

"Maiasaura" is the dam of "Triple One" (also offered in this sale), winner of: 
1st Duiven 378 b. (31st Combine 6,232 b.) 
22nd Weert 1,528 b.
46th Heusden 4,893 b. 
69th Heusden 1,248 b.

Another proven breeder - also an original Ad Schaerlaeckens - are "Appa" and "Thor". What a luxury that such pigeons are for sale.

And toppers such as "Osiris" and "Bonte Klaasje" certainly deserve extra attention.

This auction ends today at 2 p.m. (c.e.t.)
