The Art of Breeding

The principle of the art, skill or science of breeding of outstanding racing pigeons is simple: put the odds in your favor for breeding good ones. This one sentence sums up the entire essence of all the breeding issues.

The laws of nature are the same for all of us and we cannot change them. Nature's laws will prevail and will be followed. We cannot change the inheritance process but we can manipulate it into our favor if we understand the process and take advantage of it.

The question becomes: how can you put the odds in your favor?

Mating Best to Best is the simplest form of selective breeding to sway the odds more into your favor. It is however a far cry from the optimum. You can purchase outstanding bloodlines or gene pools but you cannot purchase the skills and talents of the master breeders and strain developers.

This is something you have to learn.

All the strain-makers had breeding strategies that produced far more than their fair share of outstanding birds. Many flyers have had the material on their loft to build a world-class champion team but failed to do so. Typically the pigeons are blamed because they were racers and not good enough breeders. The more honest evaluation should ask the question: did the breeding skills of the owners match the quality of the pigeons?
