[quote="Don Webb"]If i wanted to keep the blood strong with in the loft then i would pair mother and son together and visa versa then them youngbirds would go into the stock loft and used as an out cross
But will say have known this type of pairing produce very good racing pigeons[/quote i dont think i would purposely intend on very close blood pairings if i could help it, but if i had to birds which had excellent racing performances and they just happened to be father and daughter i would give them a try as my rules would be pair best to best/winner to winner..........
