Sorry, I'm not online as much in the winter months becuse I'm absolutely rammed with online auctions that need to be created

Yes, I've got very intimate with "Blizzard King Kittel" and the Pierre Beyl pigeons this last 3 years and I've become a bit of an expert on them now. As some will know I work closely with Gary and Niall Gordon and in 2021 we discussed "Blizzard" and I felt he was the natural successor to "KIttel".
We're now seeing that come to play all the more with G.Children of "Blizzard" now selling for anything up to £3500 online

Gary and Niall ordered 6 Direct "Blizzards" in 2021 and received them in 2022. The first YB were raced from them in 2023 with outstanding success. That encouraged us to go back and place an order with Pierre for a full round of 2024 YB from Pierre's Stock team (Including 2 from the No.1 breeder "Super Vale Dirk" who is the G.Sire of Van Den Bulck's KBDB Champion "KING ARTHUR")

In addition to this Gary and Niall have also received a Full Round this year from Dirk Van Den Bulck's Stock loft too.



I know of many peformances that need to be added to that picture that you supplied above Leon.

The most outstanding example is captured below with the incredible success of Gary and Niall's "Supersonic Blizzard" (pedigree below). In 2024 he wins
1st Section 1,744 birds, 1st Open NIPA 18,479 birds
1st Section 1,403 birds, 1st Open NIPA 15,765 birds
10th Section 1,832 birds, 105th Open NIPA 16,663 birds
34th Section 1,965 birds (Beaten by 32 loftmates)

In 2024 there's a right superstar appearing for Yannick De Ridder in the shape of "BLUE WAVE BLIZZARD" B23-4190412

In 2024 the winners continue to ooze out of him

All 3 of them were G.Children of "BLIZZARD KING KITTEL!"

Ironically "Super Vale Dirk" doesn't feature in the breeding of "Blizzard" and "The 208" who is the 2024 KBDB Champion

To do this and win like he does his pigeons have to be switched on (mentally) before they leave the transporter. I've a lot of respect for a pigeon and fancier like that. He doesn't make excuses

Leon : You might learn "a little not much" by the Gordon Bros website https://thehomeofspeed.co.uk/

It's in need of an update, and I will get there to do it at some point, but I can't quite say when

I do know Gary will have 10 birds appear in the next few days on https://www.excelsiorpigeon.com/

Amongst them will be a sister of "Supersonic Blizzard" so I'll be keen to see how that goes


The UK market is a very different beast to the European auction houses. Birds that go well in Europe can sometimes fail here because there's no demand for them. I rarely see a Kruger or a Geerinckx for big money.

I'm aware Steffi has Blizzard because I got the texts of that when it happened. I also know (from seeing screenshots of text messages) that there are some huge names trying to acquire Blizzard bloodlines at the mo.
