Emir Timur

Many of the Uzbek Crack Tumblers breeds originated in Uzbekistan, city of Bukhara. The 
Emirs of Bukhara brought` several Different Breeds of pigeons From Persia to Their Lofts. 
For MANY years, They Cross bred These pigeons With The Local Bukharin Breeds Resulting 
in A great Variety of new Double crested and muffed Long Breeds. For over Three Centuries, 
breeders in Samarkhand, Tashkent, Namangan, Fargona Valley, and VARIOUS Other 
Regions of Uzbekistan Acquired These Breeds From The Emirs of Bukhara and Continued 
to Breed These Birds. Following the World War II, many of these breeds disappeared. In 
The Late 1960, These Breeds began to reappear in The Private Lofts of Uzbek fanciers. By 
1990, several clubs of Uzbek Crack Tumblers Were Established. Now, The Uzbek Crack 
Tumblers are very popular Breeds in Russia and Europe.
