Ive heard and read over the years several fanciers who proclaim the pedigree doesnt fly.These peaple are as wrong as a person can be the actual piece of paper with the writing on doesnt fly however, the blood that courses through the pigeons veins is the pedigree by another name.The genes bound tightly to the pigeons makeup a pedigree by another name.The blue print enabling us to reproduce ability type shape size conformation,A pedigree by another nam. A certain age group will remember two guys made out of plant pots.There names Bill and Ben.These were inactive till the gardener went off for his dinner then they had a whale of a time.Little weed was led a merry dance.I will concede that while you aint there strange cocks can tread hens not asigned to them however by and large the pedigree is a handy tool. HUMAN HONESTY I CANT SPEAK FOR.
