DOUBLE CROSSHILL — CROSSHILL ACE / HOLLY / SILK — PROVEN OLR FINAL AND ACE BLOOD

GB26S24464 is bred directly from SU24L6947 — 44th Welsh Elite Final / 18th Ace × SU24L6959 — 7th Welsh Elite Final.

SIRE: SU24L6947 — 44th Welsh Elite Final / 18th Ace.

44TH WELSH ELITE FINAL — 18TH ACE FROM 1,095 ENTRIES

A race-tested Crosshill Lofts cock with both a final placing and an Ace position. His sire comes from CROSSHILL ACE × CROSSHILL HOLLY; his dam raced in National competition before breeding One Loft Race finalists.

A proven Crosshill Lofts One Loft Race cock. SU24L6947 finished 44th Open Welsh Elite Final and 18th Ace Pigeon from 1,095 pigeons entered.

His sire SU20L12230 is from Crosshill’s number one breeding pair, CROSSHILL ACE × CROSSHILL HOLLY. CROSSHILL ACE was Ace Pigeon RPRA One Loft Yearling Race 2015 by 12 minutes and has had a major influence on the loft. The sire is also closely related to Pride of the Potteries winners and Ace Pigeons.

SU20L12230 has already bred serious One Loft Race pigeons: 15th Balkanic Extra Final 2022; 16th Open Pride of the Potteries Final; and 20th Open Who Dares Wins Final. He is direct from CROSSHILL ACE, John Smart’s foundation cock and RPRA Yearling Ace Pigeon.

The dam SU21AV1568 was a proven distance racing hen for Jock Alston, scoring twice from the coast in National racing before breeding winners at Crosshill, including 16th Open POTP Final and 44th Open Welsh Elite Final. Performance on both sides of the pedigree.

SU21AV1568 then proved it in the stock loft: dam of 16th Open Pride of the Potteries Final, 44th Open Welsh Elite Final and 2nd Activation Race Balkanic Fair Play. That gives this cock OLR production from BOTH parents, not simply fashionable bloodlines.

DAM: SU24L6959 — 7th Welsh Elite Final.

7TH WELSH ELITE FINAL — CROSSHILL ACE × CROSSHILL SILK

CROSSHILL SILK is dam of SU24L6959, 7th Welsh Elite Final 2024, and later bred another 15th Welsh Elite Grand Final pigeon in 2025. She is half-sister to CROSSHILL GOLD — 1st Section, 4th Open and 1st National Cock SNFC Gold Cup 2019 over 516 miles.

CROSSHILL SILK is from CROSSHILL 29 × CROSSHILL HOLLY, a foundation pair behind multiple Club, Federation, National and One Loft Race winners.

A grizzle hen with 7th Welsh Elite Final 2024 to her name. Her sire was RPRA Yearling Ace Pigeon 2015, while her dam bred the 2020 Who Dares Wins Semi-Final winner from Chale.

She is direct from “Crosshill Ace”, RPRA Yearling Ace Pigeon 2015, who won that award by 12 minutes and became a foundation cock responsible for multiple winning descendants across different types of racing.
