Jerezano Pouter
The Jerezano pouter is a Spanish pouter associated with Jerez and the Andalusian tradition of cropper and thief pouter pigeons. Birds in this family are selected for an inflated crop, confident carriage, and expressive courtship behavior. The breed is not simply a large-chested show pigeon; its type is tied to a culture of handling, display, and in some lines the old practice of attracting or working other pigeons.
Jerezano pouters need lofts that allow display without crowding, because crop condition and stance are central to judging the bird. Breeders watch temperament closely, pairing for vigor, fertility, and a crop that is strong but not cumbersome. Buyers should distinguish active pouter families from birds kept only as decorative crosses, since behavior and handling style are part of the breed's identity.
