A. & B. LEIDEMAN BROTHERS,
HARDENBERG
The brothers André and Bert
Leideman started in pigeon racing in 1979 and from the beginning on they
were successful. But both brothers wanted more!! Inspired by the
performances of toppers their quest for better birds began. A quest
however that remains until the present day!!
THE OLD STOCK PAIR
At the base of the present
successful colony is the old stock pair:
‘TIP TOP’ X ‘ZEEUWS MEISJE’ |

‘TIP TOP’, now deceased, was bred from the lines
of ‘Van Damme’, Olympiad bird Utrecht for the H. & O. partnership
from Nieuwendijk. He descends from the strain Jan Zoontjens from Riel.
‘ZEEUWS MEISJE’ is a direct hen through Koen
Minderhoud, from the lines of the famous ‘Picanol’ from Gaby
Vandenabeele.
At this moment already 10 children and some
grandchildren of the old stock pair house the breeding lofts of both
brothers. |
As times passed, several toppers came to Hardenberg,
that excelled in performing, especially when crossed to offspring of the old
stock pair:
- A brother to the well-known ‘Armstrong’
of the Van Uden-Kivit partnership from Oss. ‘Armstrong’ was
classified as 1st Olympiad bird at the Capetown Olympiad.
- Through Frans van Dorpe from Borsbeke (Belgium),
an amazing specialist on races up to 300 kilometers, descendants came of his
so well known ‘Kannibaal’. This class bird won 13 pure first prizes and
he was crowned as 2nd and 4th provincial acebird.
- At A.J. van Dam from Hattem the best of
the best was purchased of his famous middle distance stock, that originates
from the strains Janssen x Dr. Linssen.
And still the quest for better birds continues. The
latest acquisitions are:
- The notorious tandem Lambrechts-Lismont from
Kortenaken (Belgium).
The pigeons of the Leideman brothers are birds with
mordant, that excel especially with real pigeon weather. The more difficult the
circumstances, the better their pigeons perform!
Year in, year out the pigeons perform fabulously!!
But also other fanciers perform extremely well with pigeons of the two
successful brothers.
What to say of the extraordinary performances of the
Leideman pigeons at champions like Frans Zwols from Gramsbergen, mrs. T. Meringa
from Odoorn and Bart Reurink from Klijndijk.
Look further in this loft-presentation and convince yourself of the class
of the Leideman-birds!!
