Emden Goose

The Domestic Rock Pigeon
![Emden Goose The Emden Goose is a breed of domestic goose. The origins of this breed are thought to be from the [North Sea] region, in the Netherlands and Germany. The eminent author Lewis Wright wrote around 1900 that he was of the opinion that they originated from the town of Emden in Lower Saxony, Germany, although Edward Brown in his 1906 Races of Domestic Poultry believed that the breed was created by crossing the German White with the English White and then, by a process of careful selections, creating the goose as it is today. Others suggest that the English Emden's great weight and size was produced by selective breeding with the Toulouse breed, which was then bred out leaving the large size of this breed. In any case, the continental stock used in breeding the modern birds is most likely descended from the great white landrace of Frisia, which has been attested as early as the 13th century. In German the breed is known as Emder Gans or Emdener Gans; the latter is actually a hypercorrection.
