Thuringian Spot
The Thuringian Spot is one of the named pattern pigeons from the Thuringian fancy-pigeon tradition. Spot labels usually refer to a specific colored mark on an otherwise contrasting bird, but exact placement and size are matters for the breed standard. The value of the Thuringian Spot lies in how a small marking detail is held on a compact, balanced pigeon without losing color quality or general type.
This is a breeder's patience bird. Too much color, too little color, or a spot placed outside the expected area can separate a pet-quality youngster from a show prospect. Because markings may shift in appearance after molt, early culling based only on nest feather can be misleading. Keepers should maintain clean lofts, steady feed, and sensible family records so successful pairings can be repeated. For buyers, it is worth asking whether the line is bred specifically as Thuringian Spot or has been mixed with other Thuringian marked varieties.
