Laffy Daffy!!!!

[Bugsy]

One of the best lofts ever to fly in this country flew a combination of the LD's with Verheye's & G.Josefs and thats LEE & COOPER, they owned one of the best stock cocks ever and he was bought from Massarella and it was known as 'SUPERSTUD' and was from direct Dhaenens. These boys could really fly a pigeon and the same pigeons raced from 50 to 600 miles.

Not sure for definite but I believe the great 'Adams Boy' raced by the late Mostyn Owen was a LD, and this pigeon topped the mighty Welsh Combine twice, from Crieff and New Pitsligo (320 & 410 mils).

hi grasshopper lofts, as members have already told you the laffy daffy are lefebre-dhaenens which are short to middle distance birds up to approx 350 miles.....and as the game keeper told you are named after corn merchants roger lefebre and daniel dhaenens.

tha basic bloodline is desmet-matthys x roger vereecke, with introductions from beulque, m verheye and r verstraete.....

and as others have said, they also have stichelbaut in them.

i keep this breed myself and my stock are nigel cawood, jimmy richards and louella lines, below is a dark yearling cock bred from stock birds.......

 

The lefebre Dhaenen pigeons were one of the best familys of pigeons to come out of belgium in the mid seventies seemed to win for most fanciers that had them.I was a big fan of them at one time and i actually raced the lanark hen 1st fed over 11,000 birds before her return to louella.
