This pedigree combines two of the most dominant breeding lines in European racing pigeon history — Star Boy, responsible for international One Loft Race winners including “Miss Maurice” and “Miss Debbie,” and Sophie’s Boy, winner of 1st Open NFC St. Philbert and 5th Combine Guernsey. The result is a bird engineered for elite performance, breeding strength, and One Loft adaptability.
