AUT-2026-609-363 (AUT-2026-F282-10)

Missing pigeon pedigree. Bidding is not available without the pedigree of the pigeon.

A609-26-363 — full sibling to an 11th-prize Extra Super Derby performer at 505 km. Bred by Gratzer - Racing Pigeons, this bird combines close-family Derby results with documented Prange breeding and a pedigree featuring successful performers at Ukraine Master and Moledo.

The standout recommendation is full sibling A609-26-362: 11th in the 505 km Extra Super Derby and 66th in the 410 km FCI Final Race at Derby Halkidiki 2026. Both results belong to the same sibling, bred from the same parental pairing as the pigeon offered here.

The father is “Oradea” A609-24-378, bred by Gratzer - Racing Pigeons and recorded as having flown from Oradea over 500 km as a young bird. The mother is DV02241-22-165, a blue hen bred by Simon Rausch. Their offspring’s Halkidiki results provide direct evidence of this pairing’s breeding potential.

Further performance highlights recorded in the pedigree include:

  • UA-20-3339096, bred by Buzey Olexandr: 25th Ace Pigeon at Ukraine Master 2020, with 31st in the 420 km semi-final and 75th in the 510 km final.
  • “Hardy” DV03718-20-250, bred by Bernd Immeln: 7th Middle-Distance Ace Pigeon at the Moledo Yearlings Championship 2021.
  • A609-25-318, a sibling of the pedigree hen A609-23-381: 8th Ace Pigeon at AviRings Derby 2025 and 7th Ace Pigeon in the 3 × 500 km Cup.

The documented Prange connection runs through A609-23-381, described as Prange strain and bred from Prange’s DV01233-17-1676 paired with “Daughter Trizi” A609-22-257. A. Klaassen, Berth Knaven and Hardy Krüger breeding adds further depth to a pedigree whose strongest appeal is its close-family Derby performance.

The Gratzer loft from Köflach, recorded in AviRings competition data as Werner Gratzer, has delivered standout performances in demanding derby competition. Highlights include 2nd place in AviRings Derby 2024 Race 3 over 250 km against 1,784 pigeons and 2nd place in the 2023 Ultimate 600 Race over 605 km against 305 pigeons. In AviRings Derby PRO 2025, AUT-2025-609-318 confirmed its class with 17th in Final Race 1, 29th in Final Race 3, 8th Ace Pigeon, 10th Average Speed and 7th in the 3x500 competition. The results show a loft capable of competing at the front from middle distance through tough 500–600 km derby races.
