MAXIM 830/26 — GR-2026-2942830, bred by Kontogiannis Sakis, is a blue white-flight pigeon combining documented one-loft racing performance with the Wolverine, Leideman–Van den Bulck, Tom van Gaver and Comb. Mantel families. The standout credentials include a grandmother ranked 9th Ace Pigeon at Golden Race Algarve, another grandmother placed 3rd in a 530 km OLR final, and a great-grandmother credited with a South African final victory.
The sire, MAXIM 814/25, brings together AMERICANOS, GFL 18-125, bred by Ganus Family Loft, and GRIZZLE 4989, DV-2024-6723-4989, bred by Dieter Siebert Taube. GRIZZLE 4989 achieved 9th Ace Pigeon, Golden Race Algarve 2024, from a field of 7,182 pigeons. Her pedigree records the Leideman–Van den Bulck combination, with further ancestry through GRIZZLY ADAMS, Grizzly Lady, Sun Rise and Dolle 810.
AMERICANOS is a son of WOLVERINE, BE-2009-3181936, and LAURA IS A BIG WINNER TODAY, GFL 15-267, credited with 1st in the South Africa Million final race. This makes MAXIM 830/26 a great-grandchild of both birds. AMERICANOS also has documented breeding success as the father of a pigeon placed 41st against 643 pigeons over 509 km at Avi Ring in 2025.
The dam, NL-2025-1525989, bred by Comb. Mantel, is a daughter of BROTHER LITTLE FINN, DV-2024-02752-275, and VARDESS, NL-2021-1484515. VARDESS won 3rd in the 530 km Corabia Winter OLR final in the 2021–2022 season. The other maternal branch runs through Tom van Gaver’s Hyper Little Ricky and Last Always Finn, the latter a daughter of FINN, BE-2015-4211540, and Always There.
A pedigree-led selection with substantial OLR credentials close behind it, uniting Algarve ace-pigeon performance, final-race success and clearly documented descent from influential breeding families.
