Rudy Van Reeth Pitbull Dynasty of Rudy Van Reeth (Herenthout, BE) has done tremendously well both at home and abroad It was thanks to Pitbull and his fantastic descendants that Rudy Van Reeth developed into an internationally renowned fancier. And numerous other lofts at home and abroad have been highly successful with the help of Pitbull's descendants. And this bloodline is also very well suited for crossbreeding, as you can tell from the many references.

The fantastic breeding bird 'Pitbull'

This phenomenal breeding bird has won six first prizes as a racing bird, but he proved even more

talented as a breeder. Pitbull descendants have claimed a grand total of 75 first prizes, along with

several ace pigeon titles at national and provincial level. The following titles were won by Pitbull

descendants in recent years:

1. prov. ace pigeon sprint YBD KBDB 2014

1. prov. ace pigeon sprint YBD KBDB 2015

2. Nat. ace pigeon sprint YBD KBDB 2015 (Vermeerbergen-Wilms-Mostmans)

3. Nat. ace pigeon sprint YBD KBDB 2014 (‘Tornado’ – Yves De Wit)

4. NL Olympiad pigeon 2017

And they claimed the following first prizes:

1st Quievrain - 1,022 pigeons

1st Quievrain - 821 pigeons

1st Noyon - 1,012 pigeons

The Pitbull bloodline allows for easy crossbreeding with the lines of two other renowned players

from around the area: Dirk Van Den Bulck and Stefaan Lambrecht’s. And a crossbreeding with the

golden bloodline of the record-breaking Bolt (Leo Heremans) has produced some fabulous

descendants as well.

For instance, Piddock was a 6th National Ace Pigeon sprint KBDB in 2018, while Miracle was a

7th National Ace Pigeon sprint KBDB 2008 for Dirk Van Den Bulck. Both these pigeons are related

to Rudy van Reeth's prestigious Pitbull dynasty for 50%.

guaranteed to deliver one day. The Pitbull dynasty has left its mark on numerous world class lofts

both at home and abroad, in an unprecedented manner. The crossbreeds with the top-class

bloodlines of Goed Rode, Kittel, Olympic Rosita (Dirk Van Den Bulck), the best of Stefaan

Lambrecht’s, and of course Rudy's own champions (including Dikke Duivin, a half-sister of Pitbull),

have proven particularly successful.
