Leon Roks from Standdaardbuiten (NL) with his fantastic breeding line of “Don Leo”
25 Feb 2024
At the 2017 edition from Barcelona, Leon Roks received the highest honor of his career by winning Barcelona International with his superstar “Don Leo”. A powerhouse who showed his talent several times and on which Leon's colony is still based. He has already achieved the ultimate goal, but he certainly wants to get a taste of it again and with the latest current results he is on his way to definitely making a shot at it.
Leon himself has won the top 100 National Barcelona several times over the past 7 years

NL 10-3025405 “Don Leo” (Sumerian Fighter)
At the age of 7, this crack won 1st International Barcelona against 17,094 pigeons in a very tough edition. He previously also won 1st NPO Dax 1,880p – 13 Dax 8,398p – 34 Tarbes 1,196p – 71 Tarbes 2,538p - ….
He is a 100% pigeon from Leo Kouters.
His breeding results have made him a super breeder in the extreme long distance in the short term. Unfortunately, he won at Barcelona at an older age, so he did not breed for long afterwards.
Below is a list of pigeons that have achieved great references in several top lofts thanks to “Don Leo”.
