i really belive a lot is down to luck with pigeons with breeders and racers what can we do only try to what we think are the best birds that we can afford also that will excel that the distance we want take for example the kanniaball and figo two great pigeons that are leaving there mark all over Europe in and further a field two of us could go buy two children off these one breeds great things other breeds noting its just a matter of luck that u can have a bird that carrying the winning breeding genes i select on birds that are winning in 2009 2008 don't really care about what 5 or more generations back also on what management system hes flying lofts as in most cases we cant compete with the type lofts they have foreign and also must be winning in other areas
at home simple really pigeons with results good results stay rest don't i would say i do like to to see certain things in a pigeon how they handle and all that but for me that secondary so my thinking on genes is create as big as winning gene pool as possible and see what happens
any way pigeons look an awfull lot nicer with a few 1sts in front of them
