This dark chequered cock was obtained from K. Akkermans (Nieuw-Vossemeer, NL). He became the sire of NL01-1110402 Saffier (1st NPO Ruffec ’03), NL01-1110401 Orion (6th Nat. Bergerac 4588 p. and 7th Nat. St. Vincent 1373 p.) and NL04-1369280 Jade (the dam of the 1st International Barcelona 2014). Jelle Jellema won a teletext prize from St. Vincent and Bergerac in 2015. His NL12-1056946 Tara, winner of a 7th NPO and a teletext prize, belongs to the fourth generation of Zwart Goud. We will take a closer look at these four Zwart Goud generations but we start with an overview of the best results this season. Notice the high prize percentages and the ease with which Jelle's pigeons return home, one of the characteristics of his pigeon breed;
