Summary
\nPigeon GB19N 03907 is a 100 percent Baltenburg v.d. Merwe (House of Aarden) hen with one of the strongest Barcelona pedigrees available. Her bloodline is heavily concentrated around New Laureaat, Kleine Jade, and other proven international Barcelona champions.<\/p>\n
This pigeon carries exceptional long-distance genetics, making it highly valuable for breeding and racing at the extreme distance level Barcelona, Perpignan, Pau and so on. The fact that the dam Jelle Baby is from two separate International Barcelona winners makes this bloodline particularly unique and desirable.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":17134,"template":"","meta":{"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15,104],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-17321","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all-auctions","product_cat-l-oneill-sons-total-stock-clearance-sale-3-long-distance-stock-1","first","outofstock","featured","sold-individually","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-auction"],"yoast_head":"\n
