09459-25-711 “Sohn 373” — 58th in the 2025 AviRings Derby final. Bred by SG A. Hahn & S. Klein, this cock combines his own documented final performance with Hardy Krüger/Kreider breeding on the sire’s side and Dirk de Beer’s Gebr. Leideman-connected family on the dam’s side.

His sire, 0413-24-373 “Geschuppte 373”, was bred by Klaus Paul from Hardy Krüger stock and is described in the pedigree as inbred to “Blue Sky”. This paternal family connection brings an important long-distance reference: Blue Sky was the first reserve pigeon in the long-distance category for the 2013 Nitra Olympiad. Krüger/Kreider breeding is recorded further within this branch.

His dam, 07107-22-516 “Grizzle 516”, was bred by Dirk de Beer. Her pedigree carries the Gebr. Leideman connection through “Grisje 470” and “Pei Jun”, alongside the documented “Crack 19” × “Goed Grijs” family. The standout performances recorded for these ancestors include:

• “Crack 19”: 1st Regional Ace Pigeon, middle distance, 2016.
• “Goed Grijs”: seven first prizes, including 1st NPO Laon against 6,371 pigeons, 1st Duffel against 5,821 pigeons and 1st Heusden against 2,775 pigeons.

The maternal family also features “Blue 1310”, credited with 12 prizes as a yearling, including 1st and 38th on two 600 km races. These results add a valuable distance-performance element to the pedigree.

A 2025 AviRings final performer combining Krüger/Kreider breeding with de Beer and Leideman-connected ancestry—supported by regional ace-pigeon honours, substantial-field victories and documented 600 km performances.
