He is the most gifted pigeon ever to have raced around Belgium. Best Kittel won a title of 4th Ace??

A new world class pigeon has come to the fore: Best Kittel. This fantastic pigeon was able to win the title of 1st National Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB with the lowest coefficient in the history of pigeon racing in Belgium (0.89%). He is indeed a truly unique champion, perhaps the best ever.

Records are meant to be broken, although one has to wonder if we can get our pigeons even better, even faster. Top class pigeon Best Kittel showed in 2017 that there is still room for improvement. He delivered some exceptional results, with which he was able to set a new record on his way to his national ace pigeon title sprint KBDB.
Best Kittel, the best sprint pigeon ever
He is the most gifted pigeon ever to have raced around Belgium. Best Kittel won a title of 4th Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB as a yearling in 2016, showing a first hint of his enormous potential. He gave it everything he had in 2017, outperforming the rest of the country with a title of 1st Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB, which he won with the lowest coefficient ever, achieving the lowest percentage (of 0.89%) in the history of pigeon racing in Belgium in a national sprint championship!

These prizes were won in the lofts of Daniel and Mee Hae Dehon-Demonseau from Thulin (BE), very close to the well known release site from Quiévrain-Pommeroeul, in the province of Hainaut. The sprint competition is stil very alive in this region, which is home to many sprint fanciers. This is also the home base of sprint champion Marc Capelle (Baudour), winner of 3 x 1st Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB in 2002-2008-2014 and triple winner of a 1st Nat. Champion KBDB 2012-2013-2015, as well as a six time winner of a 2nd Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB. In ohther words, there is some fierce competition in this Belgian province.

Not a coincidence
The achievements of Best Kittel are by no means a coincidence. His family has been winning several national ace pigeon titles, and his pedigree is a fine combination of ace pigeons. Ace pigeons breed ace pigeons, and their race winning abilities are an integral part of an ace bird's bloodline; any experienced fancier can tell you that, and it has been said in numerous race reports as well. Best Kittel clearly illustrates this: he comes from a pairing in straight line to stock sire Méchant BE05-9081201, as a youngster of a son x granddaughter Méchant.
If any pigeon fancier would master the art of creating breeding pairs that are 100% guaranteed to deliver national ace pigeons, that man (or woman) would probably be a millionaire. Still, breeding ace pigeons is not really matter of coincidence but rather a matter of luck. As a fancier you can try and increase your luck by pairing two gifted pigeons, or ideally two race winners or two ace pigeons. It all depends on what you have available. A carefully thought out pairing will increase your chances of success, and could make the road to the top a bit shorter.
When the team from Thulin decided to pair the two parents of Best Kittel, they did not expect (or hope) to be getting such a fantastic, record-breaking racing bird. But that does not mean this pair had been put together just like that; there was a clever breeding strategy behind it. The two parents come straight from the team's number one provider of national ace pigeons: stock breeder Méchant. They are in fact a son x granddaughter, making for two super class pigeons.
Le Méchant, a key figure in a fantastic ace pigeon dynasty
Méchant won himself a title of 1st Prov. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB in 2007, before developing into the all-important breeder that would play a fundamental role in the success story of team Dehon-Demonseau in recent years. He is truly an invaluable stock breeder. He was paired to two different hens (Super Breeding Hen BE05-9080824 and Mother Niko BE06-9009750), and their descendants have won quite a number of national ace pigeons KBDB. Méchant's descendants have won:
1st Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB 2017 olds (with Best Kittel)
1st Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB 2015 olds (with National Ace 2015)
4th Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB 2016 YL (with Best Kittel)
6th Nat. Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB 2017 YL (with BE16-973, a youngster of National Ace 2015)

13th Nat. Asduif Snelheid KBDB 2017 Oude (with BE14-372)

Does it get any better? Méchant is the grandfather of not one but two 1st Nat. Ace Pige
