Such world class fanciers as the Eijerkamp family have invested into the Leiderman pigeons in recent years with incredible success.
Only last weekend (13th May 2023) the Eijerkamp family won 1st Morlincourt against 2,309 birds - the father of the winner is a Leiderman pigeon
This is just one of many wins that the Eijerkamp family have achieved with the bloodlines from the Leiderman Bros
When you think of the Leiderman pigeons there's a natural tendency to think of the famous "GOED GRIJS" hen.
That's a fair comment as she's one of the greatest racer/breeders in the world at this present time but It would be unfair to label the Leiderman's as a "one pigeon loft though". They have an array of good pigeons.
Look no further than the breathtaking mating of "ARTURO" x "TILA". This pair are absolutely worth their weight in gold together.
They can rightly be classed as a "super pairing"

Introduction to A & B Leideman
It must have been about 3 years ago when Thomas Gyselbrecht drew my attention to the name Gebr. Leader. He told me that the brothers from the Netherlands belonged to the top 3 of the West European pigeon fanciers for him.
I contacted the brothers and it clicked from the start. There are now quite a number of pigeons from them in my lofts, including the best.
In the time that followed, I not only saw the results of the brothers, but also the references. I now know that Thomas didn't say too much.
For example, they have bred 'Olympic Wolfgang' Olympic pigeon for Wolfgang Roeper from Germany. This crack won no less than 5 first prizes.
A friend of Wolfgang Roeper, Friedrich Neuhaus bred from an original cock of the Gebr. The 1st and 7th national ace pigeon of Germany in 2022. (category hens) In the same year, Neuhaus also had an Olympiad pigeon. Just like 'Olympic Wolfgang', this pigeon was born in the lofts in Collendoorn.
The brothers moved to their current address in December 2019 and have had to make a restart. All racing pigeons were sold at the end of 2019. Father and son Westhoeve from the Netherlands then bought a cock and hen. Put these together and bred from this the 1st national ace pigeon sprint over the years 2021 and 2022
Thomas Gyselbrecht himself provided the combination Dehon Demonseau with ‘Grizzle Best Kittel’ and became 2nd national ace pigeon KBDB cat. speed (yearlings)
This Pigeon was bred out of an original Leideman hen that comes out 'Ace 820' with 'Good Grey'
So in a short time in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium a national ace pigeon
