Would you use a bird with bull eye(s) as a breeder?

I would if the bird did everything I asked it to do and shined over the rest .
To me eyes are not as important as (spin, velocity, depth,
kitting,size)

I agree with George, the eyes are not that important to me either, everything else has to be in order first. One of my best producing stock cocks is double bull eyed and hasn't thrown one yet in his offspring, though it wouldn't matter either way if he did. Some people just don't like the looks of a bull eye which is why they won't breed from it.

I have a young baldy with bull eyes. He is doing very good so far. If it continues to improve and has a good package....well, I would not hesitate for a second to breed from it. I really can't see the eyes when they are 400' up in the air...rock n and ROLL N so it does not matter. Unless of course you do not like bull eyes...I feel that it is just personal preference.

I have a bird with a bull eye. When I first saw it,kinda freaked me out. Then I found out it was`nt a particularly bad thing. When I shine a light in it I can see the iris underneath it the gold almost shines through. This bird is dominantly white.Which holds true to the previous post.
This bird is young and performs well. I already had designs on working with this family of birds.
So the occasional bull eye will probably be in my future.

All,
How about the odd eye birds? They have both colors in one bird and sure will satisfy the liking of both worlds(lol).

I have had birds that have bull eyes and have a small amount of colour in the top 1/4 of the eye.
