Colors and Markings- grizzles, splashes, prints, saddles, almonds, blacks, bluebar, Checks, baldhead, Color is not of great importance as long as pigeon is a strong flyer.

Both breeds are performance pigeons. These birds love to fly and tumble. I breed for color and flight. I believe perfect marked pigeons can fly just as good and strong as any. But then again every pigeon is diiferent in flight.
