KONICA × GOLD DUST — AZTEC DAM
Sire: NL 17-1826068 — Konica × Gold Dust
Dam: AU 22 AZTEC 503 — Kittel–Prange–Koopman

A rare chance at the blood that built modern Van Den Bulck racing: Konica and Gold Dust stacked on both sides, then crossed into Kittel, Prange, and Koopman.

The sire, NL 17-1826068, comes from the Konica × Gold Dust mating. Konica is a full brother to Olympic Rosita, the 1st Olympiad Ace at Nitra 2012 and dam of the Kittel dynasty. Gold Dust is a full sister to Kittel — 1st National Ace KBDB Speed 2013 — and is widely regarded as one of Kittel’s greatest breeding sisters. Her children and grandchildren have produced ace pigeons and first prizes against thousands.

The dam, AU 22 AZTEC 503, is a Kittel–Prange–Koopman hen and a granddaughter of Konica and Gold Dust. She was bred by Aztec Loft (Ramiro Herrera), a loft known for putting this European blood to work in American competition.

This is not a thin pedigree. It is linebred to the pair behind Olympic Rosita, Kittel, Greipel, and Gold Dust, then opened with Prange and Koopman for extra race toughness. Use this bird as foundation stock, or pair it back into Van Den Bulck, Kittel, or Koopman and keep the family tight.

A serious breeding piece from a family that already proved itself in Europe and was finished in a well-known U.S. loft.
