AU 25 HERTZOG 38 BB Cock
(Young bird sexes not guaranteed, sexed as accurately as possible)

His father was a consistent performer in the 2024 season, racing week after week in the GHC, FSI & Tampa Bay Combine and hitting solid placements of 6, 6, 8, 8, 38, 44, 99, 105, 113, 127, 157, 182, 191, 202, demonstrating reliability, durability, and competitive positioning across the entire race calendar.

His paternal grandfather was a proven producer, breeding birds that repeatedly placed in the 2024 GHC, FSI & Tampa Bay Combine with consistent results including 6, 6, 8, 8, 38, 44, 99, 105, 113, 127, 157, 182, 191, 202, showing strong genetic transmission of race steadiness and durability. A full sister to this line also bred a wide spread of competitive racers, landing placements of 6, 6, 15, 15, 25, 25, 27, 35, 36, 41, 41, 56, 59, 66, 68, 72, 77, 80, 90, 93, 98, 101, 104, 111, 124, 131, 137, 138, 161, 175, 175, 176, 179, 181, 184, 200, 211, further proving the depth and reliability of this breeding family.
His maternal grandmother proved herself as a breeder across multiple seasons. In the 2023 GHC she produced racers that placed 24, 25, 94, 95, 107, 147, 201, showing early reliability. She followed that with an even stronger producing year in 2024, with offspring placing 6, 6, 8, 8, 38, 44, 99, 105, 113, 127, 157, 182, 191, 202, 229, 240 in the GHC, FSI & Tampa Combine — demonstrating that her breeding value is consistent, repeatable, and improving through generations.

His mother raced the 2024 season in the GHC, FSI & Tampa Combine with solid front-half placements of 21, 23, 32, 41, 70, 96, 99, 108, demonstrating reliable speed and strong routing. She is also a full sister to birds that achieved 1st Combine against 1178 pigeons, 1st FSI, and additional competitive results including 11, 21, 23, 29, 30, 32, 41, 43, 50, 56, 69, 70, 71, 87, 90, 94, 94, 96, 99, 105, 108, 116, 117, 118, 140, 146, 164, showing that her family consistently produces front-pack finishers rather than single-race anomalies.
His maternal grandfather was one of the most impactful producing cocks in the loft. In the 2024 Florida GHC, FSI & Tampa Combine he bred birds that earned 1st Combine against 1178 pigeons, 1st FSI, and a deep list of competitive placements including 11th, 21st, 23rd, 29th, 30th, 32nd, 41st, 43rd, 50th, 56th, 69th, 70th, 71st, 87th, 90th, 94th, 94th, 96th, 99th, 105th, 108th, 116th, 117th, 118th, 140th, 146th, 164th — the kind of results that signal repeatable genetic performance, not one-hit luck. His siblings also produced a wide range of strong racers, with placements such as 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 18, 21, 24, 26, 31, 43, 44, 49, 53, 59, 61, 62, 76, 83, 87, 91, 94, 96, 103, 104, 107, 112, 113, 115, 118, 121, 132, 140, 149, 154, 165, 174, 196, 197, further confirming that this line doesn’t just produce birds that come home — it produces birds that compete.
His maternal grandmother has a unique background — originally purchased as a late-hatch entry for a special young bird race, she suffered an injury and was moved to the stock loft rather than flown. That proved to be the right decision — in just her first breeding season she produced five youngsters that raced in the 2024 GHC, FSI & Tampa Combine and delivered a string of impressive results including 1st Tampa Combine against 1178 pigeons, 1st FSI, as well as 11, 21, 23, 29, 30, 32, 41, 50, 56, 69, 71, 73, 87, 90, 94, 94, 105, 108, 116, 117, 118, 140, 146, 164, 179, 200, proving that even though she never raced a mile — she breeds birds that can compete at the very top level.
