Performance & Pedigree Details
BE26-6180358 “Rochtus Legacy” is a textbook example of a performance-driven pedigree built on Van Roy–Rochtus foundation, reinforced with Aelbrecht, De Rauw & Sablon blood.
This pigeon is not built on names — it is built on results.
On the father side (B11-6278460), the line connects directly to the famous Argenton 740/08 family, a well-known reference in Belgian long distance racing.
The grandmother (B13-6229486 Aelbrecht / De Rauw) brings a strong list of race performances:
Argenton 23/2903
Nevers 16/1785
La Souterraine 6/185
Orleans 10/234
Bourges 86/1121
These are not isolated results — they show consistency across multiple races.
On the mother side, the performance continues:
B15-6239398 “CAV” (Van Roy–Rochtus):

Further strength comes from:

This is a direct connection to elite long distance performance.
