The American Show Racer pigeon (also known as the Show Pen Racer, and nicknamed the "Bird of Dignity.")[1] is a breed of domestic pigeon that began in the early 1950s with the finest Racing Homers, selectively bred for their breed type.[clarification needed] Pigeon historian Wendell Levi mentions Show Pen Racers in his book The Pigeon.[2] He describes the early development of the breed in the United States and early breeders of the variety.
In 1952, The American Show Pen Racer Club was formed at the National Show held in Des Moines, Iowa.
As years passed, the word “pen” was removed from the club name and it was officially changed to The American Show Racer Association (ASRA).
As the breed developed, the standard was updated and in the year 2000, a new standard drawing was created and accepted by vote of the membership. E
