Old Dutch Capuchin is the name of a domestic pigeon breed . The Capuchin Doves owe their name to a resemblance to Capuchin monks with their brown frocks and hoods. This breed is one of the oldest pigeon breeds and was introduced to the Netherlands by seafarers from Bombay ( India ) at the beginning of the 16th century . The Dutch painters Jan Steen and Melchior de Hondecoeter depicted these pigeons in their paintings in the 17th century; the first animals in black and red, the last in blue with black bandages.
On January 18, 1959, the Dutch Capuchin Club was founded on the occasion of the “Avicultura Show” in The Hague . The special association Altholländischer Kapuziner Club has also existed in Germany since 1966 .
