Simone,

Are those your birds or just pictures that you found? Awesome pigeons in either case. I think George Simon on this list might be able to help you a bit.

SIMONE, The AMERICAN SHOW RACER is not a racer .The bird was developed from racing homers ,thats why the word racer appears in the name of the breed.I hope you have gone to the web site.The pictures will tell you much about this truly fine bird.You will be able to contact some one through this site that can better help you in your quest for a show homer type.The big shows in GERMANY have many of these birds. Once again good luck in your quest for a show homer type. GEORGE SIMON

Hi George,

Therefore SHOW RACERS are SHOW HOMERS? Can we make that conclusion?

[Jiggs]

Well whatever they are they are good regal looking birds!

I have never seen them unfortuanatly Can you loft fly these birds at least???

Here are some Homers I rehabbed years ago, and they were show homers.

They are stocky & heavy set birds that look like homing pigeons, but they don't have the short beaks.

They are named after tanks...

The first picture is of "Panser" she is quite gorgious, the pic doesn't do her justice.

The second picture is of "Metilda" on her "party nest." I call her "Tilly" for short. She is a doll with wonderful personality. The owner was going to destroy them, because they were not going to be shown anymore.

SIMONE, The pictures that you show are GERMAN BEAUTY HOMERS which is one of the show type homers.Some of the other types are ENGLISH SHOW HOMER, GENUINE HOMER" , "ENGLISH EXHIBITION HOMER", " AMERICAN SHOW RACER " and the "GIANT HOMER". The German Beauty is a very nice bird. The American Show Racer is also a very fine bird I belive that either one would be a good bird for you,I must tell you that the American show racer is a differcult bird to breed,I do not know about the German Beauty. Both are good birds.Good luck. GEORGE SIMON
