The Van Winckel family had a fantastic 2025 season, winning no fewer than 23 first prizes—without doubles. They also achieved international success under the name Noah Loft. They possess a unique collection of pigeons and are home to some of the best pigeons in the world. Among them are "Burj Khalifa", winner and icon of the Dubai OLR, and direct descendants of "Best Kittel II", one of the best breeders in modern pigeon racing. The family also owns direct descendants of some of the best racing pigeons from the famous Flanders Collection, such as direct descendants of "Blizzard King Kittel" and "Phantom Blizzard," as well as pigeons from renowned breeders Dirk Van den Bulck and Pierre Beyl. Other important breeders within the family include direct descendants of "Junior," "White Man," "Best Kittel," "Gargenton," "Blue Best Kittel," "Ernest," and "Grizzly Adams." These exceptional bloodlines form the strong foundation for breeding top-notch pigeons. Pitts is proud to offer its first selection for auction!
