About this episode

Phillip interviews Master Breeder Cadin Jaessing about the Damascene pigeon, covering its history, breeding standards, and management.

In this episode of All About Pigeons , Phillip sits down with Master Breeder and exhibitor Cadin Jaessing to take a deep dive into the Damascene pigeon. We talk about what drew Cadin to the breed, the possible origins of the Damascene name, and how these birds evolved from flying flocks overseas into a refined show breed. Cadin breaks down accepted colors and patterns, common faults, and how the Damascene is judged in the showroom, along with practical loft management, breeding, molt changes, and health routines. We also discuss his work to help build a national club and what it will take to grow the breed in the United States. https://www.rarebreedspigeonclub.com/index.html https://www.facebook.com/cadin.jaessing www.pigeonpod.com #AllAboutPigeons #DamascenePigeon #Damascene #FancyPigeons #PigeonPodcast #PigeonBreeding #PigeonShow #NPA #RareBreedsClub #Aviculture #PigeonStandards #PigeonLoft #BirdBreeding #PigeonCommunity
