The Alsace Cropper Pigeons – also known by names: Elsässer Kröpfer, Gozzuto dell’Alsazia, Эльзасский дутыш – originated from the northern part of Alsace between Hagenau (Haguenau) and Vissemburgom (Wissembourg), France. This breed was very common on Alsatian farms before 1940 for its meat qualities and ornamental qualities.
Alsace Cropper Pigeons began to be bred before the war, and have been for 35-45 years.
