Current performance

• 21st Final — Marlbank OLR 2026
• Hen, “Isolde”
• Blue Bar, bred by Rous Pigeons.

Sire: 3665 CAS 16 — “Pragtige Oog”

The sire is recorded as a Best Bird in the Union and is described as producing offspring that perform well in long and difficult races.

His pedigree contains the Tom Lock / Rous foundation through 808 11 CAS and the 1017/07 family. The pedigree also includes 1063/07 NOK, recorded as a Best Bird in the NOK, and 1003/07 NOK, which is from the Tom Lock line.

Dam: 4645 NOK 17

4645 NOK 17 is one of the strongest performance pigeons in this pedigree:

• 3× winner
• Dam of ZA CAS 500, which was 2nd Ace Pigeon Marlbank OLR 2025
• Dam of Mega Queenie, 4th Ace Pigeon Genetic OLR 2023
• Dam of ZA CAS 9316, a 6× winner
• 9316 subsequently bred two Union winners and four Club winners in 2023
• Granddam of 253, a 5× winner
• 253 subsequently bred an 8th Ace Pigeon Dinokeng OLR 2023 and a 25th Ace Pigeon AfrikaPro 2023.

The 4645 family is independently recorded as a proven producer of OLR performers and winners. Her daughter Mega Queenie was recorded as 4th Ace at Genetic OLR 2023.

ZA CAS 500 — particularly important sibling

The dam's offspring ZA 24 CAS 500 had a major Marlbank 2025 season:

• 2nd Ace Pigeon Marlbank 2025
• 22nd Final — 647 km
• 1st Noupoort — 565 km
• 2nd Hanover — 585 km

The bird was later sold for R146,000. Its sire was ZA CAS 3665 16, making the 500/802 family connection particularly significant.

ZA CAS 9316 — important maternal relative

ZA CAS 19 9316 is another major direct maternal relative:

• 6× Club winner
• Union winner
• Recorded wins at 542 km, 465 km, 416 km, 619 km, 220 km and 596 km
• Scored 24 times in the Club Top 10

The 9316 family has also produced OLR performers. A full sister of 9316, ZA CAS 108, was 49th Ace Pigeon AfrikaPro OLR 2022.

Tom Lock / Rous foundation

The lower maternal pedigree contains several important Tom Lock/Rous birds:

• 121 14 “Lappies Cock” — described as a very good breeder and sire of numerous winners.
