So can you give us, we'll go into the details of it, but can you give us a breakdown on what is required to get a master breeder certificate?

Yes, there are some requirements.

Hard and fast rules, some of which are not very difficult.

You have to be a member of the National Pigeon Association for three years.

You have to have a 10-year record of successfully showing your pigeons.

But the biggest thing, the absolutely biggest thing, is you must improve the breed significantly.

And you've got to make the breed better than it was.

Can you give us a little bit of a breakdown as far as what inspired you to write this book?
