AU 19 GHC 6939 Mealy Cock.  Late hatch.  Bred and donated by Mike Cortes, "Renegade Loft."  Mike has been having great success racing in the GHC since he moved there from his native Puerto Rico. One of his most successful breeders has been a super Janssen hen whose recent ancestors

were still in Louie Janssen's loft at the time of his final sale.  That

hen Mike has named the "Red Wonder" because that's just what she's been.

Mike and his brother Marbin, and many others, including me, have had huge

success with children and grandchildren of "Red Wonder."  My cock

"Renegade Red " is out of her, and he sired an AU Qualified Ace just

missing Hall of Fame status, along with 1st O.A. Arizona Open Classic. 

Marbin in Arizona has been clocking the grandchildren of Red Wonder

regularly.  Mike recently had a cock that qualified AU Hall of Fame and

was one of the final best birds in the Racing Pigeon Digest awards, a bird

he named "Perseus" who was a grandson of"Red Wonder." So the sire of 6939

is a direct son of "Red Wonder."  The dam is also very special, because

it is an inbred Heremans, half sister to a bird that is also currently in

my breeding loft, a cock I call "Charger."  "Charger" flew for Richard

Geurts and was the #1 Ace Pigeon MD GHC, and #2 Nationally.  The dam of

6939 is an inbred half sister to "Charger" from "Charger's" mother mated

back to one of her other best sons, full brother to "Charger."  Since the

Heremans birds go back to Kannibaal blood and the Kannibaal blood goes

back eventually to... Janssens, it only makes sense that this blood will

work.  Mike has been having great success clocking birds bred this way,

and I certainly feel as though whoever buys this young cock will also.

He is a very nice handling bird.
