I spent a lot of time at a breeder's house yesterday getting an education in what to look for in silkies. There is so much to them and I don't always understand what people are saying. I now understand what they mean by good spacing. If you want to send me pictures of their feet, maybe I can tell you something about them. But I am in no way trying to say I am a know-it-all. I think we are both on the same track trying to figure this silkie thing out. I can send you some pictures of what they are saying by good toe spacing too, because she did have some that weren't all that great and showed those to me. And I can send you some pictures of the color of comb, if you want. My e-mail address is wlsonkim@aol.com. The breeder I met had parent stock from Catdance Silkies, Bobbi Porto's, I know from her Web page she's had Vanessa's from here (Vanessasbuffsnsilkies) and I'm not sure who else. It was all top of the line things that I have been drooling over and to see these birds in person was an incredible experience. And if you have a question about showing or silkies, let me know. It's possible I asked her and might have gained the information. Oh, and the thing I really liked about this person was she was middle of the road, not too laid back in the way she raised/showed and not too strict and rigid. Her philosophy was if you're not having any fun doing it, then something isn't right. It's supposed to be fun. She also had a lot of experience with show dogs and I'm not sure about horses. So she was someone who liked that competition of having good quality and competing.
