Inbreeding and Linebreeding........?

whats the difference...............

IMO, i class inbreeding as brother/sister, father/daughter, mother/son etc

i class line breeding as uncle/niece, half brother/half sister etc

mmmmm, i see what your thinking mark....but theres a fine line between line and in if that is the case.

i thought it would have been more difine, if you know what i mean

could be wrong mate, but my thought is if direct blood relation "inbred" etc

any other thoughts?

remember years ago, with the old lefebre's we paired a brother/sister of the victrix/geisha lines...........bred mosaic pied, bronze, cheq pd crest and a blue

The Blue won, the others useless

funny you should say that mark, one pair of my lefebres have bred this season (2010) ybs with frill chests and also an opal cheq, had a frill last year but this year i got most of them off this pair with a frill, plus for the first time in three years i got the opal cheq.

The best artical i saw about breeding was done by M and D Evans and that was done a few years ago

some of the old lefebre lines were prone for throwing the frills & crested yb, also opals (but tend to look for the blues/chequers & darks for racing)

this is the opal cheq, he was a lter bred bird but is very different to the usuall ybs off this pair.........he is broad shouldered and quite short cast and has a very dark iris.

strange little bird really....

looks in good order David.......like the exchange bird you send down earlier this year, the chequer was a promising looking yb but lost training when got smashed with the hawk.

yes i remember you saying during the season you were plagued with hawk/bop attacks......it must be dissheartening when it gets like that, i get it every now and then but the uncertainty is always there when they are out.

Agree with Mark nice pigeon mate

its a lunatic don, fights with every other bird in the loft and even attaks me when i put my hand near it............he`s got some guts i`ll say that for him, see how he does when he`s in a race tho`

im positive my new neighbours are inbred there a scary looking bunch ov halfwits to say the bloody least!!
