1 Jac. Steketee from Bruinisse The pearl of Dutch long distance pigeon racing. Co-founder of the worldwide fame of the Dutch long distance pigeon based on the Steenbergen long distance strain. At the basis of numerous long distance wins and still present in the pedigrees of many of the current Barcelona toppers! He is the treasure keeper of the Jan Cools (Jan Aarden) strain. Hundreds of fanciers all over the world have had success with his strain! Icons and pure strains are important for the Dutch long distance sport. Dominate role for the Steenbergen strain (origin Jan Aarden)
2 Many now seem to have forgotten how big the contribution was of some of the lofts with the Steenbergen distance strain was in building most of the current top lofts for the extreme long distance (Marathon). More than a half century ago it was Jan Aarden, helped by Piet de Weerd, who blended a fantastic strain of his own by means of crossbreeding excellent pigeons along with birds of Piet de Weerd. He raced well himself but he acquired name and fame later on due to the performances retained after his birds were introduced to other lofts. Many of the leading fanciers in the town of Steenbergen started working with these pigeons. These birds were often obtained via swapping or exchange for doing odd jobs for the Hotel Owned Jan Aarden. Steenbergen was the 1 st place in the world that almost all the fanciers exclusively participated in the marathon races. This broad specialism and the extremely tough selection from the 1000 km. races meant it led to the birth of what is commonly known as the world famous Steenbergen Strain of Jan Aarden. Fanciers like Ligtenberg, Van der Wegen, v/d Par, Bakker Jan Cools, Marijn Van Geel, Meesters, Oostenrijk, Texier, Bakker Barendregt, Van Schilt etc etc. would create a furore with them. Later, Piet Lazeroms purchased the contents of most of those lofts At the time most fanciers believed that strain building was important and that the proper way was closely related family breeding (inbreeding). This Jan Aarden sort, the Steenbergen strain or whatever you want to call it, was an
3 important basis for the Dutch long distance strain. Along with Theelen (Hermans) Van Wanroy it formed the pillars on which the worldwide fame of the Dutch long distance pigeon rests! Via many lines this strain still runs through the current top lofts. For instance, just think of the following examples: Thanks to the Klamper (Piet Lazeroms), Cor de Heijde built his marathon dynasty. Via Van Schilt, the foundation was laid by Wim Müller for his Barcelona sort. Müller bloodlines were present in the NL Barcelona winners of 2015 and 2016! In the latter, there was also the bloodlines of Steketee just like the 1 st International Barcelona Ace Pigeon of Frans Bungeneers! Partly via Oostenrijk and the Müller birds via Moerman, the Brugemann Brothers created a world-famous Barcelona sort that had the Orhan and Myra as flag bearers of the loft. The addition of the Texier birds are still making the headlines for Cees vd Laan The sort belonging to Jan Cools (Baker by trade and friend of Jan Aarden ) is still very much alive in the loft of Ko van Dommelen and via his Zwart Goud in the loft of Jelle Jellema The Van Geel sort was the origin that via Van Loenhout came to the Van Houten Bros. who eventually won International Barcelona with their NELLIE. Batenburg via his WITBUIK (Bakker Barendregt) The sort of Toon Ligtenberg acquired by Nice Volkens partly via Sam de Jong and formed his world renowned BONT KOPPEL (Pied Couple). The Super van Geel directly from Van Geel made the headlines for the Limburg Brothers. And we could go on and on for a lot longer. Nowadays the old strains still form the foundation for the current Dutch long distance pigeon. Naturally a certain evolution has taken place and through thorough thrifting, the introduction of some faster distance birds and further specialism, the type of pigeon has changed, but for the improvement and retention of the strain, the toughness of these old inbred lines are still very important. It has become very difficult to find suitable inbreeding material. The art of breeding with closely related family and the building of a strain/sort has fallen
4 out of favour. The shortest road to success seems to be the crossbreeding of inbred strains. Good x good. Many of the current champions do it successfully! From a good basis, the best is paired to the best. There are still a few fanciers that still use old fashioned inbreeding of closely related birds to meet their objectives. Just think of the likes of Wim Müller Aarden van Schilt), Nico Volkens (Bonte Koppel and Theelen), Jan Ernest, Cor de Heijde, Ko van Dommelen and last but not least, Jac Steketee from Bruinisse (Jan Cools). It is no coincidence at all, that the addition of their inbred strain to the lofts of other fancier has often led to numerous top results being recorded. Jac. Steketee of Bruinisse.
