“Somerca” — SLO-2026-114-4748 is a chequer hen bred by David Somer, combining her own recorded performances over 401–521 km with a pedigree featuring Derby final success and documented Veenstra-Sangers, Janssen, Heremans-Ceusters and De Weerd bloodlines.

Her own leading results:

  • 109th against 998 pigeons over 521 km, finishing within the top 11%.
  • 283rd against 2,206 pigeons over 401 km, finishing within the top 13%.

Somerca is a daughter of “Štajerski Pitbull” SLO-2024-114-2814 and SLO-2024-114-1613, both bred by David Somer. A principal strength of her paternal family is her grandmother, SLO-2020-107-6426, bred by Miha Sovič: she achieved 31st in the 2020 Derby Zagreb final and a recorded 13th Ace Pigeon ranking in 2020. This grandmother is also a sister to 6557-107-20, winner of the 2020 Derby Brod final. Their dam, Somerca’s great-grandmother SLO-2018-107-3207, is therefore documented as the mother of both a final winner and a final-placed ace-ranked pigeon.

The paternal grandfather, “Kornat” SLO-2019-107-5808, brings the Veenstra branch through Jaap Koehoorn’s NL-2014-1302821, with Veenstra-Sangers and Janssen ancestry behind him. The paternal pedigree also includes SLO-2017-107-2959, explicitly recorded as a half-brother to “Marjana S”.

On the maternal side, Somerca is a granddaughter of CRO-2022-35624, bred by Robert Marjanovič, and SLO-2020-107-6303, bred by Miha Sovič. This branch contains documented Heremans ancestry through NL-2017-1820144 and De Weerd blood through NL-2013-1314431. The Heremans-Ceusters hen NL-2017-1820101 appears in both parental branches, adding a repeated pedigree connection. Somerca offers an appealing combination of personal race results and a family with documented Derby final achievement.

David Somer has shown strong OLR competitiveness in AviRings Derby PRO, highlighted by a 24th place in the 2026 Champion of the Nations with SLO-2026-114-4748. His best derby race results include 109th against 998 pigeons in the 521 km Final Race 3/3 in 2026, 138th against 2,049 pigeons in Race 2 of 2025, and 154th against 2,101 pigeons in Race 1 of 2025. In the 2025 overall standings, he also achieved 57th in the 3x500 competition and 65th in Average Speed with SLO-2025-114-3836. These results underline a loft capable of performing across speed, middle-distance, and demanding final-race conditions.
