Nechelput-Cornet, over the last five years, have risen to the top with remarkable consistency. They have achieved 1st, 2nd, and 4th National KBDB Champion titles in the speed category for old and yearling birds. Here, it’s not about quantity—but elite quality.
Bred for Glory: Ernest & Yvetta
At the heart of their recent dominance are two extraordinary pigeons: Ernest and Yvette.
- Ernest was the 2nd National Ace Pigeon Speed KBDB 2020, a formidable racer with explosive results.
- Yvette has emerged as a top breeder, and her offspring have already left their mark across multiple top-tier lofts.
Together, their bloodlines formed the base for what would become the most outstanding young bird of 2024.
The Rise of “Golden Ernest”
In 2024, “GOLDEN ERNEST”, bred directly from the family of Ernest and Yvetta, was crowned the 1st World Best Pigeon KBDB Young Birds
Yvetta Shines at Other Lofts
The dominance of this bloodline is not confined to one loft. In 2024, a young hen from the first round at Nechelput-Cornet, named Yvetta, was raced by Patrick Van Den Abbeel and Rony Peleman. She delivered phenomenal results at Noyon (no doubles):
- 1st / 5,245 pigeons
- 1st / 3,654 pigeons
- 3rd / 2,395 pigeons
- 8th / 2,496 pigeons
- 22nd / 3,687 pigeons
2025: A Season of Unstoppable Results
Barely halfway through the early season of 2025, the Nechelput-Cornet team already recorded dominating performances at Noyon (155 km) across seven races, all without any duplicated entries (no doubles):
