A well-bred young hen combining two established Belgian performance families: the Dirk Van den Bulck sprint family on the sire’s side and the Stefaan Lambrechts “Lincia” family on the dam’s side.

Her sire, NL20-1331620 “Mister Greipel,” is bred from a direct son of “Greipel” BE13-6139849 and a direct daughter of “Gold Dust” BE15-4264261.

• 2nd Noyon – 1,559 birds
• 5th Noyon – 1,371 birds
• 5th Noyon – 1,603 birds
• Full brother to “Kittel,” 1st National Ace Pigeon KBDB Sprint 2013

“Gold Dust” is a full sister to “Kittel” and became an important breeding hen for Marcel Sangers. Her descendants have won provincial and national ace titles, NPO victories and first prizes in large competition.

The dam, BE18-6049886 “Lincia 886,” is an original Stefaan Lambrechts hen. She is a daughter of BE17-6084300 “Brother Lincia,” a full brother to “Lincia” BE15-6108145, winner of:

• 5th Quiévrain – 893 birds

The maternal line also contains “Kleine Dirk” BE09-6293900, an important breeding cock from the Van den Bulck family.

This pedigree combines the speed of Greipel, Kittel and Gold Dust with the short-middle-distance performance family of Lincia. A suitable young hen for a sprint or middle-distance breeding program.
