hi guys ,
if you could have any breed or breeds of pigeon what would they be,?

my all time favorite is the valencian pouter , a spanish theft breed , i hope to someday have a small flock of them ,

there a crop pigeon , but unlike most crop pigeons there crop hangs down low on the body near the breast , were most crop pigeons have a crop right under there beak,

they were breed , so that a cock bird would fly from his loft and find a hen and bring her back to his loft , hence the name theft pigeons , anyone whos hens were stolen would have to pay a small fee to get there birds back ,

here is a pic of what there like ,

I have a pair of white long faced tumblers I am yet to breed them because the hen is too young but looking forward to some squeakers

When you say pigeon breed do you mean domestic or any type of pigeon???

If just domestic then i would have to say the
Ice Pigeon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ice_Pigeon.jpg
and the Nun Pigeon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nun_pigeon.jpg

If all pigeons then Nicobar and Victoria Crowned

I assume by breed you mean domestic pigeon type.
Species would include the fruit pigeons, ground pigeons etc.
