“No matter if I went to Schellens, Gerard Koopman, Dirk van Dyck or later Kees Bosua; I always tried to purchase pigeons as close as possible to the super family - like top racers, acebirds or Olympiad toppers – only to reach that ultimate goal; becoming the top of European pigeon racing.”
A goal Dieter Siebert works for very hard … passionate and with a deeper thought. “I tried to create a family of pigeons based on the very best in sport and capable of breeding and winning new toppers. That is not easy, but thorough selection helps me along the way. With as most important criterion; performances of offspring. Only the best racers & breeders survive; that makes of family of exceptional quality.”
Quality that keep on bringing successes to Meinhard-Jestädt, where Siebert lives. There he races in RV Sontra under his own name – in RV Eschwege he races in partnership under the name Team Siebert-Bindbeutel. On both lofts they win over 60% prize cards every year and just a small selection of the best races in 2009 +2010 show the great class of these teams of pigeons:

Super combination “For me this is a result of a fine interaction between the elite of European top pigeons that I combined in my lofts,” says Dieter. “It really started in 1991 with a round of youngster from my parents and some given breeding pigeon, with amongst them a 16 year old son and a 9 years old granddaughter to legend ‘531 Smeulders’. You can not have a better start. Even now their bloodlines can still be found amongst my racing team.” In 1991 Dieter was crowned as 1. region young bird champion (RV) directly and from that moment on it only got better and better … not in the last place because of the super pigeons Dieter purchased. Like in 1995 at Heinz-Willi Ritz from Jüchen. “The first fancier I fully trusted and for some work I did, he bred me 40 eggs from the widowhood cocks. Ten of them where real toppers, in racing and breeding and in 1996 and 1997 I went to Ritz again.
In 1998 another wish of Siebert was fulfilled: “I just had to have a direct son of ‘National I’ of Schellens. In 1996 already I asked Herbots for a possibility and in 1998 I could come and get one. He was B98-2214442 ‘Witpen National’ and became my sensational nr. 1 breeding ace. In 2000 direct yearlings sons were crowned 2.-4.-6.-7.-35.-50. Best yearling cock in RV Eschwege.” Always looking for the best, Dieter purchased 4 direct Koopman pigeons at an auction in Frankfurter and later, as Dieter got to know Gerard Koopman better, in 2002 more Koopman pigeons were bought. “A super investment, as in 2004 already yearling crossed Koopman pigeons were a/o 1. yearling ace hen RV and 1. Yearling ace cock RV Eschwege.” The colony was eventually made close to perfection so far with the entrance of Kees Bosua toppers; with ‘Panini’ as head of the master class … she won 1. Bourges against 3,020 birds and is a direct daughter to Autokoppel ‘Late van de 04’ x ‘Uno hen’.
This super family of pigeons showed to be up to fine works of art the last years and placed Dieter Siebert in the regional & National highlights several time! Some of the most impressive highlights:

Wonderful racing stars 2010
Looking at the very best performers, directly the supreme bloodlines at Siebert come in sight … Like checking out the best 2010 performers:
- DV06723-08-126 ‘Nabalo’, a top racer and crowned as
15. Nat. ace cock 2010 2. old ace cock Hessen approx. 2,750 birds 2. ace cock region North-Hessen approx. 425 members Winner 1.-2.-2.-3.-3.-3.-4.-5.-7.-8. against average 850 birds
He is half brother to ‘Nofretete’ who won 1. Sarrebourg against 4,589 birds and bred from ‘Kees’ x ‘Noblis’. ‘Kees’ is original Bosua and full brother to other Siebert top breeder ‘GeschelptRaketje’, perfect breeder & mother to a/o amazing ‘Sunset’, who we meet later. ‘Kees’ is bred from ‘Kannibaal’ (Olympiad Porto 2005 & 4. Nat. acebird middle distance 2004) x ‘Raketje’ (1. Olympiad middle distance Porto 2005). ‘Noblis’ (from ‘Noble Blue’ x ‘Annelies’) was purchased at Koopman and she is a full sister to top breeder ‘Queen of The Netherlands’. This hen bred ‘Miss Wonderful’ (1. Nat. acebird long distance 2006) and is grandmother to ‘Varela’ (1. Nat. acebird long distance 2007) and ‘Mr.Allennig’ (1. NPO Blois 6,279 birds).
- DV06723-08-77 ‘Sunset’ is probably one of Germanies greatest racing cocks & winner of
1. yearling acebird Hessen 2009 approx. 2,803 members 23. Nat. acebird Germany 2010 3. ace cock region North Hessen 2010 approx. 425 members 4. ace cock Hessen 2010 approx. 2,750 birds 5. ace cock region North Hessen 2009 approx. 450 members 1.

Kaiserslautern 468 birds 7. Besancon 552 birds 8. Belfort 818 birds 8. Kirchheimbolanden 212 birds 13. Besancon 3.148 birds
Sunset’ is again from the phenomenal Koopman x Bosua pairing … Het father is ‘Kaka’, breeder of many more toppers and in fact a direct son to Gerard Koopmans ‘Kleine Dirk’ x ‘Gerard´s favoriete’ … mother to ‘Sunset’ is ‘GeschelptRaketje’, full sister to father of ‘Nabalo’ & therefore bred from ‘Kannibaal’ (Olympiad Porto 2005 & 4. Nat. acebird middle distance 2004) x ‘Raketje’ (1. Olympiad middle distance Porto 2005).
- DV06723-09-3009 ‘Chiara’ is a miraculous still young hen & winner of
36. Nat. ace hen 2010 1. yearling hen Hessen against approx. 2,750 birds 2.-3.-4.-4.-8.-10.-11.-13. prize against average 850 birds
Her father is ‘LichteBranco’, one of the fantastic direct children to ‘Branco’ (Koopman), the Olympiad giant and breeder of many toppers for Gerard Koopman. The ‘Branco’ dynasty is also responsible for many great achievements of the Siebert racing team. Mother to ‘Chiara’ is ‘Elfriede III’, from the old ‘Schumi’ (7x 1. prize) bloodlines that also bred Dieter his fantastic ‘Gomez’, 1. young acebird from 1,200 birds with 1. prizes against 3,148 & 2,325 birds
‘Didi’
Future goals? “I enjoy it incredibly much when I help fanciers reaching fantastic performances,” says Dieter. Best example is for sure the story of DV06723-07-1716 ‘Didi’ … tranfered from Siebert-residence to Gabriel Kupka and Adrian Smilowski in Poland. From regional to National top positions were listed … for a great deal thanks to ‘Didi’. Dieter: “Would he have been raced in Holland or Germany, he would have been sold for a record price. He is a real topper!” An understatement, checking the incredible racing record of ‘Didi’:
1. prize 15,663 birds in 2010 with a 3 minutes lead 1. prize 10,583 birds in 2010 with a 14 minutes lead 1. prize 4,837 birds in 2009 1. prize 2,365 birds in 2010 (also 2. from 9,226 birds) 1. prize 893 birds in 2010 (also 2. from 2,906 birds & 3. from 11,367 birds 1. prize 2,249 birds in 2010 10. prize 4,565 birds in 2008 13. prize 4,039 birds in 2009 23. prize 4,305 birds in 2008 25. prize 4,805 birds in 2008
Father to ‘Didi’ is bred from a grandson to ‘Rambo’ Van Dyck x ‘Samoa’, direct daughter to ‘599 Son Branco’. Mother is ‘Lichte 765’, 1. prize winner against 4,035 birds from lines of ‘Emperor Qin’ Koopman x ‘100’ Ritz.
The surplus of quality in Dieter Sieberts breeding loft are motor of his great successes. Ready to again excel in 2011 and to bring other lofts to new highs. His super family of pigeons is the solid base – total dedication puts the cherry of the pie with sweet success.
