Performance & Pedigree Details
BE26-6180357 “Ace Argenton” is a direct product of a structured Van Roy–Rochtus breeding base, strengthened with Bakker–Brukman blood and reinforced by De Rauw & Sablon influence.
This is not a random pedigree. It is built on tested combinations known for producing consistent race pigeons.
On the father side, we see Van Vliet / Albrecht combined with Van Roy–Rochtus, delivering a stable base for middle distance and endurance racing.
The Bakker–Brukman line introduces proven Dutch performance blood, known for reliability and consistency across competitions.
Further in the pedigree, De Rauw & Sablon appear through the “brother of Bleu Ace Limoges”, directly linking this pigeon to one of the strongest long distance performance families.
This connection is critical — it brings in real race-tested genes, not just names.
The Argenton reference appears in the family through close relatives, confirming presence of national-level competition genes in the background.
The mother side supports the structure with Vanherck blood, adding additional stability and proven breeding value.
This pigeon is built on:
– Performance-based Dutch base (Bakker–Brukman)
– Belgian proven strength (Van Roy–Rochtus)
– Long distance reinforcement (De Rauw & Sablon)

– 1st Champion Old Birds
– Strong Quiévrain race performances
– Top 10 Young Bird classifications
