History of the Jellema Marathon Pigeons
Ultsje Jellema, started to compose a very strong long distance pigeon breed that has been able to win top prizes throughout the past decades, both in his own loft and in the loft of his son Jelle Jellema (Nijverdal, NL). The Jellema pigeon breed has had an excellent reputation in the long distance competition in The Netherlands for years. Both Ultsje (Steggerda, NL) and his son Jelle (Nijverdal, NL) have managed to excel in the extreme long distance for many years. They started racing in the program races in the early 1960s before they started breeding, racing, and selecting pigeons for the one day long distance competition in 1985. This led to the creation of the typical Jellema racing pigeon, which is another version of the modern day long distance pigeon. One of the characteristics of this type of pigeon is that they are small in size, while being capable of maintaining a high speed for a prolonged period of time. It is thanks to the breeding strategy of Jelle and Ultsje that these pigeons can fly really hard. The pigeon breeds of both father and son Jellema are based on the bloodline of stock sire Zwart Goud and pigeons from the line of Beerda: the introduction of Zwarte Goud has enabled this breed to cover longer distances, while the introduction of the Beerda bloodline (notably Fondkoppel and the 02) has given it the ability to take the lead in the most important races and to fly overnight. The so called Fondkoppel of Beerda consists of Bergerac doffer NL97-2229689 x Blauwe Dame NL99-5974843.
Zwart Goud, the 02 and Fondkoppel provide the basis for almost every Jellema pigeon. The 02 was paired to Zwarte Goud for a few years. This pair has bred only 12 youngsters together, but each of them proved a world class pigeon. The pigeons that originate from Fondkoppel in combination with the bloodline of Zwarte Goud x 02 proved to have great determination; they fly until they drop. The most important youngsters of Zwart Goud x 02 include Orion, Saffier, Jade, and Kiara. Saffier has been particularly important in the further development of this breed: her genes have been passed down to as much pigeons as possible via her son Hellas.
The most important youngsters of Fondkoppel are Dirke, Hilton, Mirna, and Ninte. Another important pair in this breed was Oiron x Mirna: Orion stems from Zwart Goud x 02; Mirna was bred from Fondkoppel. This combination of Orion x Mirna has bred several great racing birds, including Nirvana, Sophie, Witstaart, Iceman, the 603, and the 894.
Orion, Saffier, Jade, and Kiara have quickly become the foundation base of all jellema champions, either bred direct from them or passed on for many generations..

The search for new blood to add to the Jellema pigeons did not stop there, The next important addition for Jelle was introducing new Blood from the very successful Arjan Beens marathon Pigeons,
Jelle decided to add 3 grandchildren of Beens base-pair (‘Mr Bergerac x Rika). This super breeding pair was quoted by Jelle as “One of the best Marathon breeding pairs for Arjen Beens, If not the best marathon breeding pair ever!”. ‘Rika’ was bred from 2 Jellema pigeons).
This super pair was the foundation Base for Arjen Beens until his entire clearance sale serval years ago which mostly went to Asia. This super pair bred multiple winners and breeders such as….
