The cock IT 359054-23 “NEW HANNIBAL”, owned by Dumitrascu Alin (Turin, Italy), belongs to a very select group of pigeons that have proven themselves at the highest international level. 

A pigeon bred from a son of Linus & Katja, paired with a daughter of Mad Max & Paulina, won 1st Prize in the Activation Race at the Algarve Great Derby Winter OLR. 

The well-known partnership Jo & Florian Hendriks from Nijswiller owns a remarkably talented young bird that carries 50% Ebben blood. This pigeon, bred from a pairing that combines top-class genes on both sides, showed outstanding performances in the 2025 

At Ebben Pigeons, we are always proud when our pigeons prove their quality outside our own loft and race results. It is a great compliment when other fanciers achieve success with our bloodlines 

Recently, we received a wonderful message from Willy and William Geurtz from Haalderen following the final races of 2025. They reported some impressive achievements in both the natour and young bird competitions. 

Yesterday the semi-final of the prestigious Algarve Golden Race took place, with no fewer than 3,864 pigeons competing. The Hoogeveen Brothers from Ochten (NL) achieved a fantastic result by winning 4th prize, earning €8,000 in prize money. 

It is well known that our pigeons have been performing extremely well in the AS Golden OLR in Greece. In recent years, we ourselves only participated in the Winter Race, where we achieved remarkable results – including three consecutive years in the top 5
