THE PIGEON STANDARD. 7 
THE PIGMY POUTER. 
The above standard applies in every respect to the Pigmy 
Pouter with the exception of size, which should be as small 
as possible, some of the best specimens standing scarcely 9g 
inches from the ground. The Pigmy is, in fact, a miniature 
Pouter from tip to toe, the flight and tail feathers should 
be rather short than the reverse. 
THE BRUNER POUTER. 
The Bruner Pouter is very similar to the Pigmy, but should 
be clean limbed, i. e. free from feathers below the knee joint. 
The Bruner is seldom seen as slim in girth as the Pigmy, and 
are mostly shown in self colors, white being the most pop- 
ular. 
THE NORWICH CROPPER. 
Croppers resemble Pouters in many points, while in some 
they differ completely. In color, markings, action and crop 
inflation there is little difference, the limbs are shorter and 
free from feathering; the body is short, and shoulders com- 
paritively broad, In other words the Cropper is a ‘‘slumpy”’ 
Pouter with clean limbs.
