His pigeonloft is for 95% based on two strains: SUPER BARCA 621 x MONT VENTOUX of Gebroeders Jacobs and the GOLDEN SUPER COUPLE 100 x 10 of Nico Volkens!
Having put the Jacobs pigeons from Gertjan Rigter and the Volkens pigeons from his pigeonmate Hennie de Vries together and crossbreeding with them, soon it was clear that the offspring were super! The orientation skills & the willpower of the Jacobs pigeons combined with the endurance of the Nico Volkens pigeons created a kind of pigeon which is hard to beat.

How did his successtory start? Gertjan Rigter purchased 7 children of the SUPER BARCA 621 and 4 children of the MONT VENTOUX from the Jacobs brothers ten years ago. The SUPER BARCA 621 was a big champion at the ZLU flights (winner of 1st National Ace Perpignan 3 years ZLU, 9th National Perpignan and 15th National Barcelona) and later he became the stock pigeon of theGebroeders Jacobs. But let’s not forget to mention the other super breeder of the Gebroeders Jacobs, the MONT VENTOUX ! Two sons from the MONT VENTOUX are the fathers of the two 2nd National winners on the loft of Gertjan in 2018!!
- The SUPER BARCA 621 is a direct son of the famous breeding couple BETUWEKOPPEL. Offspring of the BETUWEKOPPEL win: 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5 NATIONAL !! 1.International Pau 2020, 1.International Narbonne 2015, 1.National Narbonne 2017, 1.National s2 Bergerac 2013, 2.International Perpignan 2016, 2.National Barcelona 2018, 2.National Agen ZLU 2018, 2 National Pau 2020, 2.National Bergerac 2013, 2.National Bordeaux S2, 3.National Agen ZLU 2015, 3.National Bergerac S2 2013, 4.National Barcelona 2022, 4.National Pau 2015, 4.National Perpignan 2015, 4.National (6.International) Barcelona 2015, 4.National Cahors 2010, 5.National Marseille 2019, 5.National St Vincent ZLU 2019, 6.National Sint Vincent 2012.

The input of Hennie de Vries in the breedingloft are children of CHAMPION (1st National Ace ’09) and JELTE (1.National Marseille ’08) but especially Hennie’s pigeons of Nico Volkens from the 100 x 10 couple are superb. Many toplofts have great success with the legendary Nico Volkens’ BONTE KOPPEL and “100 x 10” which are direct Sam de Jong pigeons. Some references are: MONTAR KOPPEL of Jan Roelofs, the Agen and Pau victories at Leo Pronk, Comb. Verweij-de Haan with their Balotelli (1st International Agen 2015), Levi vd Weijden (1st International Narbonne 2015), Kees Droog (1st International Pau 2016), Mevlut Tekin (1st International Perpignan 2016), Ed Maat (1st International Pau 2017) and the GOUDEN 10 of Fre de Boer.
