PROFITABLE PIGEON BREEDING 



DRAGOONS 



What lover of pigeons could look upon a pen of Dragoons and 

 not admire this grand old breed? In their several colors these 

 birds of medium size are most attractive. We find the breed 

 in the following varieties: Blues, Blue Chequers, Grizzles, Red 

 Chequers, Mealies, Blacks, Silvers, Reds, Yellows and White. 



The head of the Dragoon is wedge-shaped and broad and has 

 a gradual curve from the beak to the back of the skull. The 

 wattle is fairly large and is described in the standard as "Peg"
