About the White Runt

The White Runt is pure white throughout, distinguished in the standard by dark gravel eyes, a beet-red cere and pinkish-white beak and toenails. Unlike the coloured varieties it carries no colour or marking cut, so judging falls entirely on the breed's defining traits: massive size, a deep keel and the bold Roman nose of this ancient table pigeon.
