That is the gamble with breeding. You can’t tell how the genes are going to mix. If you paired a deep keeled bird to a shallow keeled bird you would probably end with 25% shallow, 25% deep and 50% medium. Putting deep with shallow won’t give you all medium.
I love the breeding side and genetics fascinates me, always did when breeding dairy cattle.

never had birds so tame

[Murray]

Lovely pigeons, George. Yes Pete does breed nice pigeons.

Nice that they are tame. It's more fun with quiet pigeons, I think.

I have a few birds here either from Pete or down from Pete’s birds. I have unfortunately lost a couple of the best ones through either the hawk or from the bad trainer after having raced well. All the birds I have here are generally friendly. I haven’t been able to spend as much time with them as I would like and they are rarely handled. But when I’m in the loft they are quite, under my feet and some will sit on me while cleaning out.
