THE PAIRING
The hen carries one of the strongest Zwols top lines in the loft: a full sister to Sophie’s Girl, by The Amal Cock out of Guernsey Princess. Behind her sit Rekkem 083, Prince of Rekkem and Dreamy — three of the most productive breeders in the Frans Zwols family.

At stock, sire of 2 × 1st and 2nd Open National and grandsire of 1st, 2 × 2nd, 5th and 7th Open. His sire Rekkem 083 is sire to at least 30 firsts, three 1st National winners and five 2nd Nationals; his dam 056 is dam of 1st Amal 4,800 birds and grandam of two 1st Nationals.
Guernsey Princess (GB16S61958) — in a single season as a yearling she won 1st and 3rd Open BICC National. At stock she is dam of 1st BICC, 1st BBC and 2nd NFC, and grandam of 1st BICC and 2nd. Her sire is Prince of Rekkem — 2nd Rekkem against 19,409 birds, 3rd against 9,166, and now sire or grandsire of 8 × 1st National winners and a UK Olympiad pigeon in 2019. Her dam is Dreamy, a direct daughter of Amor and Dream Girl 200 and a superstar breeder behind 8 × 1st and 2nd Open National.
In short: three consecutive generations of National-winning Zwols breeding, and the same top line that produced Theresas Boy.
