In the world of top-class pigeon racing, only a few pigeons rise above the rest to become true breeding legends. One of them is “WILLY” (BE17-6035960) — a foundation cock at the loft of Kris Cleirbaut from Putte, Belgium. A name that will forever be linked to the golden middle-distance bloodlines of Willy Daniels.
From the moment WILLY’s first youngsters hit the racing scene, it was clear that something special had been born. He became the father of BE19-6116207, 6th National Ace KBDB Great Middle Distance 2019, and BE22-6069409, 15th National Ace KBDB Great Middle Distance 2022. His legacy continued with BE24-6163232, crowned 8th National Ace KBDB Long Distance Yearlings 2025. Generation after generation, his descendants deliver at the very top — a sign of true breeding dominance.
Behind this success lies pedigree perfection: WILLY is bred from “Nikolaas x Kaat”, direct from the loft of Willy Daniels — the same line responsible for countless national KBDB race and ace-pigeon titles. The mother, a direct Daniels hen, adds even more genetic power, uniting two of the most reliable sources of consistent performance in modern pigeon sport.
What makes WILLY truly remarkable is that he doesn’t just produce one-off winners — he breeds families of champions. Whether it’s Chateauroux, Argenton, Bourges, or Tulle, his blood flows through pigeons that shine in the toughest races across Belgium.
Now, for the first time, the chance to own pigeons directly from this dynasty becomes reality. Kris Cleirbaut will hold his Total Auction on PIPA.be starting November 17, offering the world access to the breeding power that shaped his remarkable results.
WILLY — proof that true greatness begins with genes that never stop winning.
