Anyone know the Araucana Standard of Perfection?

[Illia]

Okay so I'm really curious on this - You know, the size and definition of their neck, back, legs, etc. Anyone have it handy? I've seen an old APA book and they aren't in there because they were only recently accepted to the APA, so. . . Could anyone give me some info on the SOP of Araucanas?

The club site only mentions the most obvious things.
