BLUE GRIZZLE COCK
Band #10980 - 2023

Proven race cock with strong One Loft Race performance and elite Nanez/Klaas bloodlines.

As a young bird, he competed in the Potomac River One Loft Race and placed:

• 3rd – 200 Miles
• 6th – 250 Miles
• 6th – 300 Miles

Potomac River - Terrain & Difficulty: The course takes pigeons over mountainous Appalachian terrain, which along with fog and unpredictable weather transforms the event into a grueling test of endurance, navigation, and survival.

This cock has a solid body, excellent muscle, and strong overall condition. He is healthy, active, and ready to breed.

Following the tragic 2024 fire at Rick Nanez's loft that claimed approximately 750 prized racing pigeons, direct Nanez bloodlines have become increasingly difficult to obtain and are highly sought after by breeders and racers alike.

Dam is Blue Snap #3, carrying proven Alfons & Helmut Klaas bloodlines, including Dark Prince, Dark Horse, and The Perfect Storm families. Closely related to birds responsible for major winners, including offspring that won $84,000 in South Africa.

Sire is a direct Nanez-bred grizzle hen and full sister to "Charlemagne," the only White/Grizzle pigeon in the Top 100 of the 2020 Hoosier Final, winning $20,000. Loaded with Constans, Iron Clad, Mind On Fire, and Bandit Janssen blood.

A rare opportunity to acquire a proven race cock with performance, pedigree, and breeding potential.
