'''Dresden Trumpeter''' is a breed of [[domestic pigeon]].
====Origin====
[[Saxony]], in the region of [[Dresden]]. Tenkasi
====Overall Impression====
Only slightly sturdier than the Field Pigeon, low carriage, a rather long than short effect required. White wing shield. Double-crested.
*''Head:'' Not quite so powerful as the double-crested Trumpeter. The shell crest should be broad and unbroken. The beak crest should be somewhat oval in shape, as unbroken as possible all round; the larger, forward part covering the beak wattles and requiring some foundation to avoid unsightly hanging.
*''Eyes:'' Dark orange iris, somewhat lighter iris allowed in reds and yellows. Cere fine, flesh-coloured.
*''Beak:'' Dark in blacks, flesh-coloured in reds and yellows; in reds a somewhat darker tinge is permitted.
*''Neck:'' Short, fairly rounded, throat full, rounded.
*''Breast:'' Broad as possible, full and pressed well forward.
*''Back:'' Fairly broad at the shoulder, slightly sloping.
*''Wings:'' Fairly broad, with long primaries reaching almost to the end of the tail.
*''Tail:'' Long.
*''Legs:'' Thighs well feathered. Feet thick and full-muffed. However, muff feathers should not be excessively long. Muffs must spread to the side rather than to the front.
====Colours====
Red and yellow, very occasionally black.
====Markings====
White wing shields. All other feathers coloured.
====Defects====
Thin or weak body, upright stance; too much of a blue tinge in the colouring, white feathers in the primaries, muffs, tail, thighs and head; distorted beak crest; narrow, distorted or incomplete shell crest; muffs which are too short or full of gaps.
Order of Evaluation: Overall Impression - body size - carriage - markings - head adornment.
