Splash Silkies APA Accepted?

[M To The Maxx]

Are Splash Silkies an APA accepted breed?

So what is a Non-Bearded Splash Silkie?

Colour and variety are NOT different; at least not as far as the standards consider. Variety takes both physical differences such as comb type or muffs/beard presence/absence as well as plumage colour/patten into consideration.

I agree with Sonoran.

Premier,
If you go to the front of the American Standard of Perfection you will find the ASoP's definition for Variety.

Variety:
A sub-divisioin of a breed. Differentiating characteristics include plumage color, comb type or presence of beard and muff.

With Silkies a Variety would be Bearded Black or Non-Bearded Black.

Oh, thank you! I didn't even see those 5 pages.
OK, Maxx, then add to my list .... Bearded Splash Silkie.
It doesn't have the Non-Bearded Splash listed though.

Ok, here we go.
We have Color and we have Variety.
Two different things.
Nonbeard Silkies are a variety and accepted.
Than you have White, Black, Blue, Splash, Gray, Buff, and Partridge for color.
These colors are accepted.
Everything else is a AOV.
