Mark it down, highlight it, or tattoo it on your forehead if you must, November 17 to 30, 2025 will be one for the history books. Because when Kris Cleirbaut opens the doors of his legendary loft in Putte for a total sale on PIPA, the pigeon world will witness the closing chapter of one of Belgium’s most powerful allround dynasties ever built.
For over a decade, Kris has been the fancier everyone had to chase, and rarely caught. His results didn’t come from hype or luck, but from method, selection, and a relentless hunger for perfection. National winners, Ace pigeons, and world titles have poured out of Putte like medals from a champion’s factory.
And now, every single one of them will go under the hammer.
A Dynasty of National Power
Let’s get the facts straight, the Cleirbaut record list reads like a murder scene for national competition:

Nat. Tulle Old 5,912 b. (2025)
…and the list keeps going — a flood of top-10 Nationals that made headlines year after year.
Names like “Great Wall”, “Miss Argenton”, “Alina” (1st World Best Pigeon Fond 2023) and “Bjorn” (2nd Nat. Ace Allround KBDB 2024) headline the sale, each representing a piece of the Cleirbaut legacy.
Just One Of The Super Stars: BE18-3130835 “New Bliksem’s Son” – The Highlight Among Highlights
Among all these stars shines one gem that connects two of Belgium’s greatest bloodlines: BE18-3130835, “New Bliksem’s Son.”
A perfectly built cock, direct from Gaby Vandenabeele’s New Bliksem, the living legend who won 1st Nat. Tulle (5,731 b.), 5th Prov. Bourges (3,039 b.), 10th Prov. Tours (2,064 b.), and was later sold for 376,000 on PIPA, one of the most expensive pigeons ever sold.
The mother of “New Bliksem’s Son” is Camilla, sister to Ester (6th Nat. YB Belgium), and granddaughter of the iconic “Kaasboer” of Gaston Van de Wouwer the super breeder whose genes dominate modern European competition.
This bird isn’t just a beauty on paper, it’s the perfect blend of power, heritage, and proven class. A true original Gaby Vandenabeele, standing tall in the total sale of Kris Cleirbaut, one of those once-in-a-lifetime chances to own living racing history.
A Loft That Defined an Era
Kris Cleirbaut didn’t follow trends, he created them. His pigeons dominated the national scene with allround strength: speed, middle distance, and fond performance combined. The structure, balance, and muscle tone in his birds are the result of years of uncompromising selection.
When these pigeons hit PIPA on November 17, it won’t just be an auction. It will be a celebration of mastery, a grand finale worthy of one of Belgium’s most complete fanciers.
So here’s the question: Will you be watching history… or owning a piece of it?
Visit www.pipa.be from November 17 to 30, 2025, and bid for your share of the Cleirbaut legacy, including the one and only BE18-3130835 “New Bliksem’s Son.”
Be there….
