Every serious fancier knows the feeling. You study pigeon after pigeon, pedigree after pedigree, and most of them pass without stopping you. Then one appears that immediately deserves a second look.
For The Pigeon Boss, BE26-6164428, bred by Van Staeyen J. – De Bruyn P., is exactly that kind of pigeon.
She is a direct daughter of two proven ace pigeons with national KBDB credentials. Her father is “Blue Shadow”, 1st Ace Pigeon Samenspel De Kempen Noyon and 18th National Ace Pigeon KBDB Speed. Her mother is “Lichte Lady”, 30th National Ace Pigeon KBDB Speed.
That combination immediately gives this young hen a pedigree with real substance.
“Blue Shadow”: Proven Performance at the Highest Level
The sire of BE26-6164428 is BE20-6190955 M “Blue Shadow”, a blue cock from Van Staeyen–De Bruyn. His 2021 season was built on consistency, with 13 prizes and 12 results per ten. That campaign earned him the title of 1st Ace Pigeon Samenspel De Kempen, as well as 18th National Ace Pigeon KBDB Vitesse.
Those results tell you more than one big win ever could. An ace pigeon has to perform repeatedly, under changing race conditions and against serious competition. “Blue Shadow” did exactly that.
And the strength of the line does not stop with him.
His father, BE19-6247304 M “Black Shadow”, from Flor and Jo Van Staeyen, also proved himself in competition. His listed 2021 performances include 1st against 1,756 pigeons, 3rd against 996, 18th against 716 and 34th against 509 pigeons.
That is important, because “Black Shadow” was not only a good racer himself. He also became the father of “Blue Shadow”, showing that this is a line where performance has already been passed on to the next generation.
Behind “Black Shadow” we find BE14-6277722 M “Black Tiger”, also from Flor and Jo Van Staeyen. He is listed with 20 times per ten and a 1st against 489 pigeons. Combined with BE18-6143415 V “Grizzle Queen”, this gives the paternal side a clear and repeated speed identity.
The other side behind “Blue Shadow” brings in BE19-6247315 V, a blue hen from Flor and Jo Van Staeyen. She was not raced, but she became the mother of “Blue Shadow”. Her parents include BE16-6174389 M from Frans Fransen and BE18-6143820 V from Van Beirendonck Fran, described in the pedigree as a good racer.
The deeper you study the sire’s side, the more the pattern becomes obvious: this pedigree is built around pigeons that had to prove something.
“Lichte Lady” Makes the Mating Even More Interesting
If “Blue Shadow” were the only major performer behind BE26-6164428, this would already be an attractive pedigree. But the dam takes the mating to another level.
BE21-6170331 V “Lichte Lady” is herself a proven performer and national ace pigeon.
Her recorded results include 3rd against 1,376 pigeons, 1st against 519, 2nd against 336, 7th against 489, 12th against 633 and 10th against 479 pigeons. On top of those race results, she became 30th National Ace Pigeon KBDB 2021.
That is exactly what makes this young hen so interesting.
She is not a daughter of one ace pigeon crossed with an unproven pedigree partner. Both parents bring proven performance directly into the mating.
“Blue Shadow” delivered at ace-pigeon level.
“Lichte Lady” delivered at ace-pigeon level.
And BE26-6164428 sits directly underneath them.
No long distance to the quality. No need to search six generations deep for the first real result.
The performance is right there.
More Proven Speed Behind “Lichte Lady”
The maternal side becomes even stronger when we look at the father of “Lichte Lady”, BE19-6250553 M “MICHEL”, from Flor and Jo Van Staeyen.
His 2021 Quievrain performances include 2nd against 996 pigeons, 3rd against 998, 2nd against 658, 7th against 1,204, 11th against 336, 14th against 509, 10th against 1,756, 35th against 1,074 and 43rd against 399 pigeons.
That is a serious series of results.
Not one lucky arrival. Not one spectacular day. Repeated front performance.
And again, the generation behind him adds more winning blood. The father of “MICHEL”, 15-6249734 from Oorts Michel, is listed as a 6 x 1st prize winner at Quievrain.
- Winning once is good.
- Winning six times is a pattern.
- That is the type of repetition serious fanciers want to see in a family.
The maternal granddam, BE18-6143884 V, bred by Flor and Jo Van Staeyen, adds another ace-pigeon layer. As a young bird she was listed with 10 times per ten, raced from Noyon, became 1st Ace Pigeon Pullederbos and 10th Federation Young Pigeons.
Her parents include BE12-6069754 M, described as a very good pigeon, and BE12-6246119 V, a breeding hen from Flor and Jo Van Staeyen and a white-nosed daughter of “SUPERFLOR”.
Once again, everything points in the same direction.
Speed, consistency and front performance.
This Is What Makes BE26-6164428 Special
For me, the attraction of this pigeon is not one isolated name.
It is the concentration.
A direct daughter of “Blue Shadow”, 1st Ace Pigeon Samenspel De Kempen Noyon and 18th National Ace Pigeon KBDB Speed, crossed with “Lichte Lady”, 30th National Ace Pigeon KBDB Speed.
Then behind them you find “Black Shadow”, “Black Tiger”, “MICHEL”, a six-time Quievrain winner and more pigeons with proven racing records.
- That is how a pedigree starts to build real depth.
- Every generation adds another piece of evidence.
- This was no accident.
- The numbers tell the real story.
A Young Hen With Serious Breeding Potential
BE26-6164428 is a 2026 youngster, so her own future is still open.
- That matters. A strong pedigree is never a guarantee. Pigeon sport does not work that way.
- But a pedigree can tell you whether the foundations are there.
- In this case, they clearly are.
When you are looking for a young pigeon with future breeding interest, you want proven racers close in the pedigree. You want ace-pigeon quality. You want repeated first-class performances and families that have already shown they can pass quality forward.
BE26-6164428 brings all of that together.
She is a direct daughter of two national-level ace pigeons, backed by generations of Quievrain and vitesse performance.
That is why The Pigeon Boss found this one special.
