The Sire — 23-4189570 "Flanders" FBI
Grandson of Liberaal · Dirk Van den Bulck lines
A grandson of "Liberaal", and related to Kittel, De Goede Rode, Olympic Rosita, Sagan and Golden Leo — the card calls them simply "fantastic lines."
His sire is "Summer Buzzard" (B22-6216125), original Van den Bulck; his dam is "Olympic 014" (B21-6201014), a full sister to Liberaal.
In short: the sire line is the O’Donnell foundation, and it is the reason this family sells worldwide.
