breeding

[Guest karl adams]

whats the best way of breading would you cross 1 family with another or would you keep the family the same

[OLDYELLOW]

depends commercialy most want pure strains these will win , but when you cross they tend to invigourate the birds breeding better pigeons if both familys were very inbred then i would suggest a cross

[tippler1]

i think people cross breed to try and find the best of the best thay is alot of breeds out there so i think myself some ware a breed is out there to do the job you wont it too but thats just what i think most would not agree

First decide whether you want to excel at sprint/middle or long.  Whichever it is, get two families, test them vigorously, keep the best of each, then cross them together.  You create your own family, whils injecting hybrid vigour into the originals.  Job done!
