Most of the Spanish Cropper breeds are seen here in the UK: Granadino, Gaditano, Marchenero, RafeÃ±o, Jiennense, Gorguero, Moroncelo, Morrillero, Canario, Laudino Sevillano, though not so many Dutch Valencians, although they were popular at one time. At a few UK shows we see fairly good classes. There are also a lot of them flown, and a lot of people fly crosses among these, and crossed with Horseman, and with the Dutch sporting pigeons known as 'Tils'. Probably about two dozen people keep pure races, but many more keep crosses. I wouldn't say heaps, it can be quite difficult to get hold of some of them, they are only in the hands of one or two people, and they only have a few pairs, so you might have to wait a season, much easier than in Australia though, obviously. Lots more in Holland, they have a very large club with strong support: http://www.sisbestuur.nl/

Hi Jason, If you like I can give you some e addresses of breeders in Scotland who will be more than willing to correspond with you on spanish pouters. Most spanish breeders are here in Scotland.
