TIER 1 · PAIRING DOSSIER The full analysis of what this pairing produces
THE PAIRING
Two very different kinds of winner. The cock is a son of Titan × 63, both Frans Zwols birds with substantial records of their own. The hen is a direct daughter of Lone Survivor, and her sire’s family holds three separate 1st Open NIPA wins.
Nothing is shared between the two sides — Dutch National and UK Federation blood on one, Irish NIPA and SAMDPR One Loft blood on the other.
