Starting bid of $1. Hatched: 16 March.

75% Clausing Houben, 25% Alphons Klaas

Note the end date of the auction is 27 April. I am unable to ship out early the previous week.

Sire (21 IHU S 077222) is the line of Clausing’s “410” with an elite Irish twist. He was bred by Hennie Kallmeyer (IRE). His sire is a Clausing cross named “Silver Boy”.

Silver Boy is son of “Maximus” who was bred off of two super Alphons Klaas birds; “Mr Bolt” x sister of “Purdy”

• Mr. Bolt was 1st Regional Ace Bird 2009 vs 35,196 birds of 838 fanciers and his offspring have bred many OLR prize winners and ace birds such as Bamberg (1st Ace Bird Hot Spot Averages Million Dollar Race 2015) and Bamberg I (3rd Ace Bird Grand Averages Million Dollar Race 2018).
• Purdy was the SAMDPR sensation in 2013, claiming 1^st overall grand avg and 3^rd (e1st) on the final, winning Hot Spot and top average along the way. He was so consistent some have claimed he’s the best to ever race the SAMDPR course.

Silver Boy’s dam is “Ginger Spice” another Clausing bred potent rockstar – In a 4 year period, Ginger Spice bred FIVE OLR winners with 4 different cocks!! She is off “David, Jr” mated to daughter of 410.

The dam of 077222 is Hennie’s incredible hen “Baby Blue” (04 CLAUSING 64), who was bred by David Clausing. Baby Blue is off a full bro/sis mating from “410” and “300” (Never Say Die, winner of $200,000 in SAMDPR), making her a dbl g’dtr to two of his most prized birds ever. Baby Blue would go on to breed multiple big race winners for Hennie and became a foundation hen for his loft. To name one, she bred the Ace LD Pigeon for the Golden Race Algarve vs over 4,300 entered from 27 countries - "Superman Dan" 15 IPB B 7881.

PIPA has an article up that says Hennie ‘has the greatest collection of Clausing pigeons in Europe’, and I had to get some of these prepotent genes for myself! 077222 is a bit on the smaller side, slender build, and has an Alpha’s attitude claiming top box and perch almost immediately after arriving.

As strong as that pedigree is, I believe the gem of the parents is the dam (21 CLAUSING 114) who is also Clausing bred. Her sire is his current “#1 Super Star Breeder”, the proven 16 CLAUSING 230. The prepotent 230 has bred 5 different OLR champions with different mates for David himself. No idea how many additional winners for his customers! 114’s dam is also daughter to one of David’s top breeders; his 2020 Apple Cup winner (20 CLAUSING 93) who claimed $77,500 and has also bred winners. She is a medium sized, slender hen who has a very docile personality. 114 represents the best of today’s Clausing Houbens wrapped in a package.

Both parents eat from the hand, and their young are as relaxed and confident as the parents. No guarantee on the young bird’s sex. Copies of parent pedigrees are shown. I’ll post an updated photo during the week. No guarantee on the bird’s sex.
