Thank you for sharing!

[@jamesclark8484]

Hard in my ignorance here but would you classify what you're showing as in line breeding or some other name? It would seem learning this would be helpful in the show world as well.

Great informative video

Glad it was helpful!

[@briceflores3528]

I'm also new and looking to start racing. What are your bloodlines that you race with? I like middle distance to long flyers. Any suggestions?

[@vfloft5125]

thanks for watching! I suggest a mix of both for your loft for best results!

[@josephreyes3227]

Thanks for this video and for the illustration..much easier to understand...4th generation is the key to maintain the original bloodline...keep it up and more power!!!

[@vfloft5125]

Absolutely!

[@aniltherthally9074]

I love your videos , so informative
I have a doubt Can female pigeon sit and hatch eggs alone if male is missing?

[@zdribac700]

Much more better is to pair the cock to 3 different hens and do the system like you did and to do it with pigeon friend in other loft so you can do that in shorter time and do not wait for so long years. To start the system we do in Europe rise Sommer youngsters so you are one season more in time. But very good explanation sir very good and for beginners very good they don't know about incest of pigeons.

[@junluc5464]

👍

[@ibrahimbenjamin9168]

Good

[@leunisvandewege9651]

I did this in 1970, first result in 4th generation one of the best short distance birds in the Netherlands. BUT.... his brothers and sisters were not good enough. Some years later prof. dr. Alfons Anker teached me that the problem most probably was the inbreeding that was there already before the first generation. So as always things are more complicated. If you start this scheme you should be dammed sure the two pigeons you start with are as unrelated as possible! If not, most probably vitality will suffer too much.
Furthermore I don't know of any fancier in Belgium (where competition is very fierce) that does this kind of schematic breeding. Simply because the results are not good enough.
If something like that is done, it's for breeding breeders; not for pigeons to compete with.

[@smoovejay122]

Great point... It's exactly what this system is for, to breed stock birds and to add new blood into families or create one. They key is to have two families and he forgot the super hen side of the chart.... At the 4th generation you need to breed the nest mates to lock-in the "Black Rhino" blood same on the "Super Hen" side and that's your duplicate stock pairs of your original cross....
Now cross your new Black Rhino x Super Hen pairs and those babies are your racers....2 pure families = hybrid vigor at it's finest....takes a long time, lots of testing and excellent selection for this to work but it works.....

[@ericmagsombol3874]

Do you sell birds?
