AU 2025 HERTZOG 238 – Blue Bar Splash Hen

Pedigree Introduction
AU 238 is a beautifully bred young hen that brings together two of Europe’s most influential lines: Sagan (1st National Ace KBDB, son of Kittel) and De Kannibaal (1st National Ace KBDB 1996). This is a linebred pigeon that doubles back into these champions for both speed and durability. Her pedigree balances the explosive speed of the Dirk Van Den Bulck/Kittel family with the depth and toughness of the Kannibaal and Sablon bloodlines.

Sire Line
Her sire was a proven performer in the Florida GHC, FSI & Tampa Combine, scoring:

• 11th Masters Cup 400 miles

• 19th/1718 pigeons

• 21st/1376 pigeons

• 73rd/1723 pigeons
  plus additional results at 39th, 142nd, 164th, 172nd, and 196th.
  He carries bloodlines of Maverick (Equal 1st Hoosier 350 miles) and Mayhem (Hoosier finalist), rooted in the Magic Maker/Grondelaer base that has proven reliable from 100–350 miles.

Dam Line
Her dam is both Sagan and De Kannibaal, tying directly into:

• Sagan (1st Nat. Ace KBDB, son of Kittel) and Kittel descendants, famous for speed and sharp sprint results.

• Kid Kannibaal × Kenney’s Girl, doubling back into the De Kannibaal family and reinforcing stamina and breeding strength.

• Strong supporting blood from Sablon and Koopman, proven to blend with Bulck/Kannibaal lines for OLR and Combine success.
