The Kittel tornado’s from Deridder-Van den Brande have the upper hand within the short distance racing in Flanders – a power display where was no stopping to in 2021

20 Nov 2021

The interprovincial releases out of Quiévrain & Noyon, the kings’ game of the Belgian short distance game, the summum for the real short distance racers. This is where the focus from the tandem Deridder- Van Den Brande is on. Always early pigeons on Noyon, week after week amazing high speed averages, chain results against the mass, this is what they aim for in Liedekerke. The result? 14x 1st prize and 7x 2nd prize in the Union of Pajot-Dender against old and/off yearling pigeons in 2021. 

The Kittel, and his influence on the actual international pigeon sport .

“De Kittel”, born and raced on the lofts from Dirk Van Den Bulck, has results on own breeding- and racing loft but brought also on many other international top lofts to an unseen high level. He became National Ace bird KBDB in 2013 with an unseen coefficient of 0.95% and became later a breeding-icon on the breeding lofts from Flanders Collection. The successes and influence on the national championships in different countries such as Great-Britain, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Denmark, USA, China, Australia, Irak, Egypt, Morocco, Kuwait, Emirates, Poland and Austria is unseen. 


In Great-Britain the Kittel strain won already 2x 1st National Ace bird RPRA the last 4 years and was the key to success for Les Green, Gordon Brothers, Fenich Brothers, John Angwin, Nicklin. Also on the lofts of Macaloney & Ian Stafford the successes didn’t kept them waiting. Now in 2021 at the 1st edition of the TITAN GAMES (national ace birds in UK/Ireland) the Kittel offspring were to be found on the 1st spot and several different top 10 ace birds. 

In Germany  it was Andreas Drapa who has been dominating since 2-3 years the Types National championships with the Kittel strain. SG Steffl, SG Kusser, Hagedorn-Becker, Stiens-Schlief dominate the RV & provincial championships with the youngsters out of the Kittel strain. 

In Holland it was Sangers who was the man to beat with the best of the best from Flanders Collection/ Kittel strain. With a lot of victories against the mass and 3rd National Ace bird was the acquisition of the Kittels’ a hit in the rose. The successes at the Brothers Leideman & Peter Janssen didn’t kept us waiting either, just to name a few that were successful with the super strain of the Kittel. 

In Austria  it were Walter & Karin Essbüchl that have set an incredible stunt by winning the 1st and 2nd National Ace bird with the Kittel strain in 2019. The offspring of a top son Kittel on the lofts of Hagedorn-Becker brought results on national level for Essbüchl & SG Krumtünger.

In Denmark it was a hit in the rose in 2021 with the Kittel strain for Mark Skovbo Madsen who won the 1st National Ace bird. Several big races were won by Mark due to the new acquisitions of the Kittel strains with as reward the golden medal on the national championships.

In the USA pigeon sport is still a beating hart in “Little Belgium”, a term that the Americans give to the ‘hotspot’ of pigeons sport in the US. The famous “Gulf Homing Club” is founded in Brooksville Florida, where the best of the best compete to each other. When the first pigeons of the famous Kittel strain came to Andy Larenztakis & John Marles, it was a hit in the rose immediately. AU qualifiers (national ace birds), GHC champions, Derby Winners & One loft winners became the new normal with the guys who had this new blood. This year it was on the lofts of “Dutchman” & Mike Cortez that the 1st Ace bird GHC was won with the Kittel strain, where also that same pigeon in the running is for the 1st AU qualifier for 2021.

In Portugal the biggest OLR of Europe was won in 2021 by an offspring of Kittel, namely the same son from Kittel that gave the 1st National Ace bird at Pierre Beyl. 1st finale Golden Algarve race over a distance of 500 km and at the beginning of the race over 6,000 pigeons. 

Now there is a good view on the international impact of the “Kittel” strain worldwide, we can close with what this strain has set in own country on national level the past 6/7 years.
