Shakhsharli
Shakhsharli appears to be a regional pigeon breed name from the broader Caucasus or West Asian fancy pigeon tradition, but detailed public standards are limited. In that setting, local pigeons may be known by village, family, color, or flying style, and the same English spelling can hide several transliterations. It is safest to describe Shakhsharli as a locally maintained domestic pigeon strain rather than to assign it a precise show type without a breeder's standard in hand.
Careful breeders can still manage such a line well. The useful questions are whether the birds are bred for flight, for a visible color pattern, or for a neighborhood exhibition type. Pairing should protect the traits the local name is meant to carry, and surplus birds should be described honestly when passed along. Good ventilation, moderate stocking, clean water, and a quiet settling period for young birds are more important than forcing the line into a better-known category.
