Your title caught my eye, and as I don't stop in here to often, I have no idea what you mean by "beginner", because I don't think we have any posters on this site with a doctorate in the field of genetics, pertaining to the pigeon. So, we are all students here on the subject.

My next question, since you mentioned colors, are you interesed in the sub catagory of color genetics, or are you looking to breed better "fancy" pigeons, or like me, trying to breed a better homing pigeon ? With the Internet, a few choice search words and you can find many hours of reading I am sure. Here are some I can share:

Warren,
Lovely picture of you and your wife. That is a picture of your wife, right?!

Your clothes reminds me of red checker and your wife reminds me of either a red bar with white flight. LOL! We must stick to the topic, you know!
