The strong hereditary qualities of foundation cock Linus from Will & Falco Ebben continue to prove themselves internationally. Recently, they received another impressive reference from Robert Maaß from Waldhufen, Germany, who achieved an outstanding result on Sunday, July 6th, 2025, in the race from Lowicz (425 km).

Competing against 1,440 pigeons in the RegV group, Robert achieved a phenomenal result: the first three positions, and 20 prizes from 27 entries.
His second pigeon, the outstanding hen “Lolita” (DV 09024-22-2260 W), is a daughter of “Lola” – from Linus x Evolution – making her a direct granddaughter of Linus.

Lolita has already built an impressive track record:

• 1st / 1,534 pigeons – 315 km from Modla Kolew

• 1st / 1,311 pigeons – 427 km from Lowicz

• 2nd / 1,440 pigeons – 425 km from Lowicz

• Along with several other top rankings: 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 16th – all in big competition

Interestingly, the 1st prize winner in the same race – “Camilla” (DV 09024-24-22 W) – also carries 62.5% Ebben blood. Her sire is “Calimero,” a son of Mad Max x Katja, making him a half-brother to Pizza and Pandemic. The dam traces back to Cyrus, the grandfather of Linus – again underlining the deep influence of this bloodline.

For us, this reference is another great confirmation that our pigeons can also perform well on other lofts. It’s always rewarding to hear that descendants of Linus, Mad Max, or Cyrus are holding their own in tough competition – like here with Robert Maaß in Germany. We’re pleased to see our pigeons proving themselves in different lofts and systems.
