Key
Foundaiton Breeder
One of the key breeding hens from the loft of Ludo Claessens of
Holland. In 1999 I decided to
buy
Ludo's very best no matter what the cost was. So I went to
visit Ludo with a few friends and
Ludo
talked and showed us his very best breeders. I handled
them all and took notes on what he
and
I thought were his very best. A couple of months later I
went back to visit Ludo, mentioned
the
ring numbers of the birds I liked on the previous visit and
asked for a price. It was tough to
bargain
with Ludo but after several hours (and some heated
discussions) the key breeders were
mine
- Olympia Queen, De Juf, Vosje 90. These three girls were
coming to America to join in with
Ludo's
key breeding males - Late Rode 430, Vos 77 and Silver Boy.
Olympia Queen is a medium size, strong body, rich eyed, very
beautiful top foundation breeder.
It's
hard to describe the quality of these champions on paper.
She bred 8 different 1st prize winners
and
is the grandmother to more than 30 top foundation
breeders. You can't ask for any more. Most
lofts
never have the opportunity to experience a hen of this
quality. Olympia Queen is a full sister
to
Late Rode 430 (NL 8926430-89) who bred Red Devil (NL 9014050-90)
- a multiple 1st prize winner.
Red
Devil then bred: NL 9187783-91, winner of 1st Golden Crack
Award. Another son of the Late
Rode
430 won 1st Chateauroux vs 2069 birds, 2nd Tours vs 1883 birds,
2nd Limoges vs 1981 birds,
6th
La Souterraine vs 2404 birds. Another son, Silver Boy, won
1st Prov. Chateauroux vs 2060 birds
and
sired 10 top winners. Olympia Queen and her family are key
members of my breeding program.
Youngsters $1500 each.
Grandchildren $400 each.
