Hi my name is cliff and I'm from AUSTRALIA,i WANT TO CROSS ONE OF MY WEST OF ENGLAND TUMBLERS WITH A GRIZZLE(COMMON)TO TRY AND GET THIS PATTERN INTO MY WESTIES,Q]1 will this cross loose the rollover gene,and any progeny from this pairing bred back to the westies,would there be any chance that the rollover gene will return,All my westies are bald cream bars,would some one with a bit of time on their hands and a lot of patience be able to guide me through this.I've bred paint horses for 16 years and my genetic understanding was up there with the best,but the genetic scene of pigeons is a new kettle of fish,and I'm having a hard time with the technical version as it's allmost the opposite to what I thought I could excel at,but to my embarisment I find that I'm a complete dud

Sure go for it , then down the road just claim that it mutated in and that you never crossed anything in.
Then when you are called on it just claim that the Birmingham isnt a breed anyway so it doesn't matter.
Good luck

Tatt,
This is the wrong site to answer this type of question since the majority is for performance breeding. But if you do search on pigeon genatics using Googles, you will come up a cross few sites here in the USA and some good books to help you. Bob or Eric can you give this guy some directions? Thanks.
