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

His father, 0413-24-373 “Geschuppte 373”, was bred by Klaus Paul and is described in the pedigree as inbred to “Blue Sky”, first reserve pigeon in the long-distance category for the 2013 Nitra Olympiad. The paternal family brings together Hardy Krüger and Kreider breeding, with further recorded connections to the Black Power family.

His mother, 07107-22-516 “Grizzle 516”, was bred by Dirk de Beer. Her pedigree records the Gebr. Leideman pairing “Crack 19” × “Goed Grijs”, a notable source of the maternal family’s performance credentials:

• “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 includes “Blue 1310”, credited with 12 prizes as a yearling, including 1st and 38th on two 600 km races. He is recorded as a brother to “Olympia 147”, winner in the Sport category at the 2011 Poznań Olympiad—a collateral family distinction rather than a result of the offered cock.

A compelling combination of his own AviRings final placing, substantial winning fields in the Leideman family and established Krüger/Kreider connections.
