Description

ALWYN BESTER LOFTS — “PORSCHE × TURBO KITTEL” GENETICS

2198 ZA 25 ABL is a grizzle bred by Alwyn Bester. The supplied pedigree describes the pigeon as a full-brother-to-sister mating, double grandchild of 998 × Olympic Nicole, and combines two exceptionally interesting families:

Sire: 9644767 NL 23 “Grizzle Porsche”
Dam: 537 ZA 21 ABL

The pedigree specifically describes the sire as Porsche 911 × Goed Grijs and the dam as a full sister to ZA ABL 167, the dam of the famous Turbo Kittel.

SIRE — 9644767 NL 23 “GRIZZLE PORSCHE”

The sire is described as being produced from an inbred full-brother × full-sister mating from Porsche 911, while the dam comes from a full-sister/full-brother mating descending from Goed Grijs × Olympic Nicole.

This means 2198 is heavily linebred to two major families — Porsche 911 and Goed Grijs/Olympic Nicole.

PRINCE PORSCHE — MAJOR SIBLING/FAMILY CONNECTION

One of the most important pigeons in the Porsche side is:

BE 17 4062318 — “PRINCE PORSCHE”

2nd Provincial/Interprovincial Vierzon — 5,462 pigeons
4th National Limoges — 1,129 pigeons
Super OLR breeder

Independent pedigree records also describe Prince Porsche as a full brother to Porsche 911 and document his extremely successful breeding career.

A later pedigree source records Prince Porsche as sold for €435,000, while describing him as father/grandfather of multiple Ace pigeons.

The sire side is not merely “Porsche 911 blood” — it comes through a family containing the proven Prince Porsche racing and breeding line.

 PORSCHE 911 — NATIONAL ACE CLASS

The Porsche family itself has a remarkable European racing record.

Porsche 911 is documented as:

5th National Ace KBDB Middle Distance — 2015
7th National Châteauroux — 25,617 pigeons — 2015
11th National Bourges — 21,484 pigeons

Public pedigree records document descendants associated with:

• 1st Ace Pigeon — Sofia OLR 2022
• 3rd Ace Pigeon — Sofia OLR 2022
• 2nd Super Ace — As Golden Race
• 4th Final — As Golden Race

The pedigree also contains the specially bred:

“COPY PRINCE PORSCHE”

It is described as a direct PIPA Elite Center pigeon from a special:

Prince Porsche × own sister pairing.

That same intense linebreeding philosophy is reflected in 9644767 “Grizzle Porsche”, which is another highly concentrated Porsche/Goed Grijs breeding.

DAM — 537 ZA 21 ABL

Full sister to ZA ABL 167 2021, mother to ZA PWDU 9849 2020 “Turbo Kittel”.

6× SANPO Gold Medal winner
3rd World Allround Best Pigeon 2021

TURBO KITTEL — THE MAJOR FAMILY WINNER

ZA PWDU 9849/2020 — “TURBO KITTEL”

This is the most important documented performer behind the dam of 2198.

Turbo Kittel is recorded as:

• 5× Winner
• 6× SANPO Gold Medal winner
• 3rd World Allround Best Bird 2021
•  Best bird/major Ace credentials in the PWDU family

The family pedigree identifies 63384 GB 18 as grandfather and 1418637 NLD 19 as grandmother.

 THE 167 SIBLING — MAJOR AUCTION VALUE

The significance of 537's full sister ABL 167 is also demonstrated by the breeding market.

ZA ABL 167/20

• Dam of Turbo Kittel
• Produced 8 SANPO medal winners
• Including 6 Gold
• Bred 13 winners
• Sold for approximately R338,000

So 2198's dam 537 is a full sister to a R338,000 breeding hen that produced the famous Turbo Kittel.

The same 63384 × 1418637 family has produced several high-value full siblings.

ZA ABL 168

• Full sister to ABL 167
• Major breeder
• Sold for approximately R242,000

1st Crusaders Best Yearling Pigeon 2023
1st PWDU Best Yearling Pigeon 2023
2nd PWDU Best Pigeon Overall 2023

 THE 63384 × 1418637 FOUNDATION

The dam side of 2198 therefore traces into:

63384 GB 18 X × 1418637 NLD 19

The pedigree records 63384 as:
