Argovien White-Tail
The Argovien White-Tail is a Swiss regional fancy pigeon name, with Argovien referring to Aargau and white-tail describing the key marking. It fits the color-pigeon tradition, where a local body type and sharply defined markings are maintained through careful selection. The breed is not primarily a performance pigeon; its value is regional identity and precise appearance.
Argovien White-Tails need normal good pigeon care, including dry lofts, clean baths, balanced feed, and protection from overcrowding that damages tail feathers. Breeders should select for the white tail, clean body color, type, fertility, and feather quality. Marked pigeons often produce imperfect youngsters, so honest sorting is part of breeding. Source records matter because white-tail markings occur in many regional breeds that are not interchangeable.
