Dick has been involved with the breed for decades, serves in multiple roles with the National Chinese Owl Club, heads up the judging program, and has earned multiple Master Breeder Lifetime Achievement Awards.
They get into how Dick first got started in pigeons, what drew him to Chinese Owls, and what makes this breed so unique. He shares the surprising history behind the name, how the breed developed over time, and how Chinese Owls have changed in the United States through selective breeding and careful refinement.
The conversation also covers temperament, housing, breeding setup, fertility, fostering, bath routines, parasite control, vaccinations, and how to properly prepare birds for the show cage.

If you are interested in Chinese Owls, fancy pigeons, breeding for the show room, or learning from someone with a lifetime of experience, this is an episode you will not want to miss.
They also discuss Dick’s book, A Guide to Success in Breeding and Exhibition of the American Chinese Owl, along with how listeners can connect with the National Chinese Owl Club and learn more about the breed.
