A609-26-7 — full sibling to proven one-loft race performers and grandchild of “Trix Champ”, winner of the 500 km Trix Derby final. This pigeon combines a family record of final-race performances over 500–520 km with documented Ernst Nebel, André Roodhooft and Krönert Aarden bloodlines.
The central attraction is the breeding record of its parents, A609-18-38 and “Kleopatra” A309-18-546. Both are recorded as parents of the following successful birds, establishing them as full siblings to the pigeon offered:
- “14”: 8th Ace Pigeon in the AviRings Derby 2022 3-Races-Cup, alongside 29th in the 520 km final.
- “15”: 17th in the Derby Halkidiki 2022 final over 505 km.
- “Augustus”: 14th in the Talent Quatro final over 510 km.
- “Caligula”: 35th in the Talent Quatro 2021 final over 510 km and 24th Ace Pigeon.
These full-sibling results are a major selling point: they demonstrate the same parental pairing’s ability to produce competitive birds across several one-loft competitions.
On the paternal side stands “Trix Champ” A609-13-365, the offered pigeon’s grandfather: 1st in the Trix Derby 2013 final over 500 km and 2nd Ace Pigeon. The paternal grandmother, bred by Wolfgang Krönert, is recorded as a granddaughter of “Kondor” from his Aarden long-distance family. Her dam, NL-2009-1379362, adds a documented Brockamp × Overwater connection.
The maternal side is built around “Kleopatra”, a Nebel × Roodhooft breeding hen. Her sire, A415-17-1303, was bred by Franz Knoll from two Ernst Nebel pigeons, including a son of “Maximus”. Her dam, DV-2016-653-440, was bred by Hermann Berling and is recorded as 100% Roodhooft, with both parents bred by André Roodhooft.
A compelling family-based selection: close-up final-winning ancestry, several successful full siblings and a clearly documented blend of one-loft performance and long-distance breeding.
