    About this ebook

    This vintage book contains a detailed guide to keeping and breeding racing pigeons, with information on selection, feeding, housing, nutrition, common ailments, training, and other related aspects. Profusely illustrated and full of useful information, this book is highly recommended for those with a practical interest in racing pigeons, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “The Dawn of Pigeon Racing”, “Art of Breeding”, “The Practical Selection of Breeders”, “ Breeding a Champion”, “Colour Breeding”, “Breeding Grizzlies”, “Practical Breeding”, et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on pigeons.
