Preparing for the Breeding Season

Okay so now the racing season is behind us, we now get the chance to delve into the subject of breeding. This give us the chance to play creator (in a lesser sense off course!) and if we get this right we can lay down the building blocks to have truly great pigeons in a few months’ time.

It would be silly to concentrate on training or nutrition if you were to ignore genetics. You could have a fit healthy pigeon but if its genetics mean it has a slow heritage then it may be outperformed by an average shape pigeon with good breeding.
