Prishtina Roller
Prishtina Roller (Akrobatiku i Prishtinës) is a specific and particular breed of pigeons from Kosovo, whose origins date from 19th and the beginning of 20th century. Because of the long tradition of breeding (more than a hundred years), this breed is also known by several other names: Prishtina Donek – Doneku i Prishtinës, Kosova Donek – Doneku i Kosovës, Prishtina Tumbler, etc. In the process of creating the 'Prishtina Roller' breed, the donek breed was a favourite and from this has developed the 'Prishtina Roller' which takes its name from Pristina (Prishtina), the capital of Kosovo, where it has a breed standard and is registered as a breed there with the Federal Commission.

What to Know Before Buying a Prishtina Roller
Finding a responsible Prishtina Roller breeder requires more than browsing classified ads or responding to social media posts. The USDA requires any breeder who sells pigeons commercially — especially those selling online or through third-party dealers — to hold a federal license and submit to regular inspections. A legitimate breeder should be willing to provide their USDA license number, invite you to visit their facility, and show you where the animals are housed and socialized.
Before committing to a purchase, ask the breeder for veterinary health records, vaccination documentation, and any genetic testing results relevant to the Prishtina Roller. Reputable breeders will also ask you questions in return — about your living situation, experience with animals, and ability to provide long-term care. A breeder who asks no questions and is eager to ship an animal immediately is a significant red flag.

Look for patterns of violations, pay attention to severity levels, and compare their compliance grade with other breeders in the same state. This due diligence takes minutes and can save you from supporting a facility with documented animal welfare problems.
