From the O’Donnell card: Rolf Berger’s "Blacky" over a sister to Miss Maurice
The Sire — DV5832-20-0496 "Blacky"
Rolf Berger, Germany
Blacky is the sire of 56th Open in the Pattaya International National OLR and the winner of a team prize against 9,000+ pigeons. His breeder, Rolf Berger, also bred Marple — winner of the Victoria Falls One Loft Race.
His sire is NL16-1546866 "Champ Nani"; his dam is DV5425-19-0583 "Schwarz 1".
In short: the sire line is the O’Donnell foundation, and it is the reason this family sells worldwide.
