Here in the Pacific Northwest there have not been a great many sumatras shown. Judges have there own views and since I know the judge and he might have missed it that day. There are a couple breeders of large in Vancouver area that have some decent LF.

Looking for some good quality largefowl black sumatras from either Richard Schock lines or Carl Fosbrink. Also some good quality black sumatra bantams. Looking for either a male or female in each. As well as anyone from Pacific Northwest driving back. Thanks

Not too many years ago the PNW had some very good American breeders especially in LF RI Red poultry. Times have changed though unfortunately.
