Notes
Like the Gaditano Pouter this breed was originally bred for the game of pigeon thieving.

The Granadino Pouter is a breed of fancy pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Granadino Pouters, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants of the rock dove (Columba livia).[1]
