Dear sport friends,

we present to you XXVI. Catalogue of breeding pigeons 2025, which is also the sixth catalogue focused on quality comparison in One Loft Race facilities - test stations.

The big success in 2024 was that our team was ranked in the top 10 teams in OLR Krakus. There were about 800 teams measuring their strength against each other. Specifically, we were ranked 9th General Team One Loft Race Krakus (Poland) 2024.

In MTS Žilina (Slovakia) we took 1st and 2nd place in the 120 km long prologue. It was youngsters from the pair "Top Eder" x "Blue Lady" and "Wolke" x "New Ynthe". In the final of this OLR our pigeon "Jumper" from the pair "Dubrovnik Fly" x "New Ynthe" took 4th place. He flew from the 480 km long race only 6,9 seconds behind the winner. The remarkable thing is that this is the brother of "Denis", who flew from the final 500 km distance in 2023 to 13th place and at the same time became the 12th Ace Pigeon of MTS Žilina 2023.

In the OLR Derby Zagreb (Croatia) the hen "Zagreb Shot" won the 16th prize in the Super Final 430 km. This hen comes from the pair "Krakus Ace" x "Caroline". In the Semifinal we got 8th and 10th prize. The pigeons from the pair "Top Eder" x "Blue Lady" and "Krakusak" x "New Laura" arrived.

In the Swedish OLR Viking Pigeons Race our pigeon "Viking Airman" took 32nd place. The extra final 457 km was started in the German port city of Hamburg. This means that the pigeons most likely had to fly several kilometers across the sea. This pigeon was bred from the pigeons "Jorg 1" x "Daughter Shogun".

The best for the last. When a local breeder, Mr. Mikuláš Varga, bought several pigeons from us in the spring of 2024, nobody knew that two of them would be very good in OLR Talent Quatro. The others were successful in the competition in the Unicov area, where they became 1. Master of Uničov area, zone Litovel. Siblings from the pair "Ganus Typhoon" x "Eder Ace" named "Hereford" and "Aberdeen" managed to beat most of their opponents. The former won the 1st Ace, 1st Time Ace and 3rd Super Ace titles. He came 3rd out of the final 510km race, just 1.19 seconds behind the winner. Five pigeons flew together. His brother "Aberdeen" won 2nd Super Ace, 5th Time Ace and 6th Ace pigeon.

Finally, it is necessary to mention the success of a young breeder, Mr. David Lamáček from Mutěnice. Two pigeons, grandchildren of our pair "Jorg 1" x "Dora", certainly made him happy. "La Viva" won the 3rd prize from the semi-final 410 km and "La Bali" won the 9th prize from the final 510 km.

New breeding reinforcements for 2025:

One of the biggest additions this year is definitely the Spanish hen "Tarabilla". This gem won 2nd prize in the Spanish OLR Carmello Yuppi from Barcelona 820 km and the title of 1st Ace from all 10 races held for a total of 4.242 km. At the same time it is the 2nd Ace of Extra Long Distance. This competition included races of 500km, 500km, 730km and 820km.

This young hen is mated to the highly bred pigeon "Ace Romario" from Mr. Simon Wolf - pair #10. Interestingly, the mother of "Ace Romario" is the sister who bred the OLR Talent Quatro winner in 2023. Now this winner is at the PIPA pigeon loft in Belgium. Here he got the name "Quatro Romario" and is doing a lot of promotion for Simon Wolf.

Here we come to the next reinforcement. PIPA, in cooperation with Mr. Lubomir Kubacek, sent two sons from "Quatro Romario" to OLR Talent Quatro in the 2024 season. We have purchased one of them. His name is "Thomas 1" and he won the 22nd prize in the Extrafinal Racinovci 560 km.

We expanded the line of the pigeon "Ace Romario" in 2025 with his two sons, which are "Sharp Romario" and "Czech Romario".

The blood of the very successful pigeons "Hereford" and "Aberdeen" from the parents "Ganus Typhoon" x "Eder Ace" was reinforced with two of their siblings. These are "Ganus Girl" and "Ganus Boy".

The excellent dark pigeon "Purple Grande" was released from breeding. Now it is sitting in Kurovice on the pigeon loft of Mr. Pavel Vybíral. However, we have newly strengthened this line with three of his offspring. "Jersey" won the 23rd prize from the Extra Final Račinovci 560 km. His siblings "Henk" and "Simonka" did not race.

From the German breeder, Andreas Möller, we bought the hen "Sweet Gloria", which won the 25th prize from the final race Vrpolje 510 km, OLR Talent Quatro 2024. She is a half-sister of the pigeon "Waterloo Sunset" from the same breeder. This pigeon became the holder of the 1st Super Ace, 1st Ace and 4th Time Ace titles in the 2023 season. At the same time we included his non-racing son named "Bombardier" into the breeding in 2025.

Finally, we would like to show off the result of our cooperation with Academy Loft of Mr. Zdeněk Štěpánek. These are pigeons "Chanel" and "Marcello". From the side of Academy Loft there are three ace pigeons in the pedigree. 1st Ace OLR Talent Quatro 2018 "Bulck", 1st Ace TS Tatry Derby 2019 and 1st Ace TS Řečany 2020. From our side it is the hen "Thalia" from the double winners of OLR Talent Quatro, German brothers Rupprecht. She was the 1st Ace pigeon of Talent Quatro 2020 and she is a cousin of the pigeon "Kati", 1st Final Talent Quatro 2018.

This year you don't see several older and excellent pigeons. Except for the above mentioned "Purple Grande", however, they all sit in Šternberk. They are only reassigned to "The Farm" where they will continue to breed. We also have young pigeons on the "Farm". Their pigeons will of course be used for our representation in other similar pigeon lofts. Partly we will give them away to help our friends.
