How far can you keep breeding within an inbred-linebred family of pigeons and keep up breeding winners out of them,has anybody done this for years with a family of pigeons that has come down from the same origine or are they still doing it and having success. :)

With great losses and 'Fly aways' .... but that is another topic.

One must not get confused with Inbred and Line bred. They are two completely different things.

Basicly most don't  know the difference, and very few understand what and why one has an 'Inbred' family and the reality of why.

Take a look at the Janssens of Arendonk. They only started out with a handfull of base pigeons and have inbred for generations! The base pigeons have to be stong enough to sustain this though as inbreeding will bring out the best of the genes in some birds but the worst in others - the capital B (basket) gene should weed out the weaklings

Exactly, every 'Champ' was from the outcross! Then Line bred til the next out cross. The 'Blood Pool' was added to constantly too. Why his sons went far and wide in search of new blood.

inbreeding can either make or break your family of birds .i beleive its a good thing to fix characteristics that you have a preference for. or your original base birds dont have to many of the same lines in them ! but to inbreed with  already inbred base pigeons is asking for trouble.....ray

i have found success in the past , with an inbred cock of one winning  family ,paired to an inbred hen of a different winning family,,,but its after that, that problems can occur ,, but the as old saying goes ,,,, the hybrid vigour :)

Personally I don't see what you are trying to achieve by this pairing. You may well consider pairing the two to unrelated birds then crossing the good ones from those pairings together and to the original two.

It may be that you have some yearlings from the first bird already?

Like I say most don't have the first inling why they Incess their birds and what are the actully reason in what they hope to acheive.

Incess pigeons - especially after a generation aren't for racing.

The Idea is to generate a 'Blood pool or two or more of the 'Blood' you wish to keep in the loft so OUTCROSSED decendants do the racing.

Yes you can keep going back to them, and you have to introduce more good blood lines regularly ...

inbreeding and linebreeding has its ups and downs, you can double the good points and in some cases double the bad points internaly and externaly, some you don't see. you have to be ruthless with your selection , they have to be perfect in every way.

apart from the janssens and some other genius out there i agree u have to have a gene pool to fall back on but wouldn't be breeding constantly from the same family of birds in my op ion u have to  introduce new breeds constantly to see what crosses well with what u have sum will work sum wont

the only thing i like to do is get my top hen or cock  in the ped three times within the grandparents and then cross out this is what ido seems to work for me that all i can say
