Jaap and Adriaan Scheele (Terneuzen, NL)
What a season!
We have been writing about the impressive achievements of the Scheele Brothers a few times already this season. They had first of all their two NPO wins in just two weeks’ time, but there is more. The team added several championship titles to their palmares this season as well, including for instance the title of 11th best Fancier in The Netherland in the WHZB/TBOTB competition. In this report we will be looking at a few of the leading names of the noble Scheele Brothers pigeon family.
Cheryl
NL15-3509881 Cheryl was the very best pigeon in Province 1 Zeeland ’96 this season, winning the title of 1st Ace Pigeon Allround in Province 1. Cheryl is a daughter of the team’s number one breeding pair Sonny x Cher.

Macho
Macho NL16-3615271, a pigeon that belongs to their neighbour and good friend Simon van Hoeve, is a reference to be proud of for the Scheele Brothers. Macho became 2nd Ace pigeon Allround Province 1 Zeeland ’96, finishing just behind the team’s own Cheryl. The dam of Macho is a direct Scheele Brothers: Juli NL15-1770490. She is another daughter of top pair Sonny x Cher. The sire of Macho is a son of Esmee, the world class pigeon of the Elzinga Combination (Harkema, NL). Click here for Macho's pedigree.

Timo
We already talked about Timo in one of our previous articles but he had such a successful season that we wanted to include him in this report as well. He became 16th Ace Pigeon in the prestigious WHZB/TBOTB competition in 2017. This is a great result, especially if you consider that he was among the best pigeons in The Netherlands in that same competition in his year of birth as well, as 6th Ace Pigeon YBs. He has performed at a high level for many years now, which shows how talented he is. Timo is a son of that other top pair of the Scheele Brothers, Jeroen Jr. x Hanny. Click here for the pedigree of Timo. The aforementioned Jeroen Jr. comes directly from Willem de Bruijn (Reeuwijk, NL), and his partner Hanny is in turn a granddaughter of Superboy.

Magnificent with the young birds
The young birds of Adriaan and Jaap were in particularly good form this season, especially in the middle distance. We were rubbing our eyes when we saw the final results of the middle distance championships in Province Zeeland '96. The first four places, as well as the 6th, 8th and 10th prize were won by pigeons of the Scheele Brothers. On top of that, the fifth prize was won by their neighbour Simon van Hoeve, who happened to be racing a 100% Scheele pigeon.
De jonge duiven van Adriaan en Jaap waren dit jaar in zeer goede doen op met name de midfond vluchten voor de jongen. Als u hieronder de eindstand van de Midfond duifkampioenen ziet van de afdeling Zeeland "96 zult u misschien een paar keer in uw ogen wrijven. Maar u ziet het echt goed. De plaatsen 1 t/m 4, 6, 8 en 10 zijn voor duiven van de Gebr. Scheele. En dan is de duif op plaats 5 van buurman Simon van Hoeve ook nog eens een 100 % Gebr. Scheele duif.

Confidence in the future
This overview of championship titles and the respective pedigrees gives us an idea of the level of quality in the Scheele Brothers pigeon loft. Adriaan and Jaap have a wonderful collection of breeding birds, including number one stock sire Superboy, whose bloodline can be found in many of the team's racing birds. And the team has a bright future ahead with their young stock pair Sonny x Cher, as well as the equally valuable pair Jeroen Jr. x Hanny. We are convinced that Adriaan and Jaap will continue to get excellent results in the years the come.
