001 AU 23 "Ring Toss" is built for the competitive OLR environment. His pedigree is saturated with birds that didn't just race, but won at the highest levels—including 1st Place Final Race winners and Ace Pigeons. This cock offers the physical muscle and genetic depth of the Houben strain, sharpened by the speed and tenacity of the Van Loon cross. He is an ideal foundation candidate for a loft looking to add proven American OLR winning blood.
