spot on roland to much inbreeding results in inferior pigeons being bred we have all done it remember a old fancier telling me always cross out to breed vigiour into your pigeons this man could always time out the nationals every year
all the old reliable strains of birds that were capable of flying 500+ mmiles are gone maybe some left but fanciers started filling there lofts with inferior pigeons from belgium result we diluted the old hardy doos with the crap from belgium j.m.o
