Best pair a breeder to an out and out racer to produce duel purpose. |

Ah that's the way to go eh! Now why would anyone want to pair a proven breeder to an unknown racer -Breeding wise. If the racer also was a proven breeder then you would be pairing to proven breeders  |

most eye sign men say pair light eyes to dark eyes , but never the same eye together , but i have paired same eyes and had winners , but i believe you should pair on size as welll as the eye i.e a big cock with a small hen , and a big hen to a small cock . |

If somebody managed to pick up a proven breeder i never said pair it to an unknown racer, i said an out and out racer, i.e a good winner to produce dual purpose birds. many producers are found once bred from!! |

Sure many fantastic breeders have passed through many lofts but you still need to know how to race the produce! |

i am a big believer that for racing , it helps if they have 2 eyes !!! for breeding take the pigeons shape, conformation, "winning genes"and try to re - produce what you would like yourself, best to best is a good theory !! |
