NEHU 26 DAR1517 winner of 15th Grand Final 2026 Purbeck and she was 9th Ace Pigeon for ‘The Pot Of Gold Diggers’.

NEHU26DAR1517 — “PURE GOLD”

BLUE HEN — NORTH WEST BRED

A very consistent North West One Loft Race hen who improved as the distances increased.

Her results:

HOTSPOT 1 — 49th — 62 miles
HOTSPOT 2 — 13th — 96 miles
HOTSPOT 3 — 10th — 146 miles
FINAL — 15th — 200 miles

She is bred from one of the producing stock cocks used successfully on the bull system.

Her sire is:

GB19S12345 “STORM”

A Best Kittel blue pied purchased from A & L Painter.

“STORM” was a Federation winner himself, achieved in a very difficult race, and has gone on to become sire of winners and very good One Loft Race pigeons.

The dam is:

NWHU25C1591 “DARK DELILAH”

A quality chequer hen who was injured early in the Old Bird Series but still produced an excellent set of OLR performances:

HOTSPOT 1 — 62nd
HOTSPOT 2 — 34th
HOTSPOT 3 — 41st
HOTSPOT 4 — 50th
HOTSPOT 5 — 23rd
SEMI FINAL — 5th
FINAL — 11th

“DARK DELILAH” is by GB22N62981, a son of the Jamie Langrish £30 Cock and himself a sire of winners.

Her dam is GB23S47498 “JULIE’S STRAG”, a dark grizzle who survived a severe setback before returning to race as a yearling.

“PURE GOLD” therefore combines a Federation-winning and proven producing sire with an outstanding OLR dam that finished 5th Semi Final and 11th Final, while she herself finished 10th Hotspot 3 and 15th Final.

A proper performance family rather than a pedigree built on names alone.
