Are there any Houdans that look like the APA standard?

No. I don't own any, but am very interested in them after reading their profile in the BYC database. After that, I was reading elsewhere and found the link to the standards book. Started reading up on the breeds I was interested in, and then came back here to search for threads on the breeds. I found this thread that asked the same questions I had and resurrected it. And here we are, wondering if the standard is lost.

Where do we go on that link? These are houdan (well maybe not the black one) just not very good representations of them, that is what we are talking about here.

BantamF, Can you just post a picture from that site? Even when translated, I don't know where to go to find a picture.

I found some, if you look down the right side you will find a post titled " My dwarf houdan cailloutees" . These houdan I believe have a different comb than ours do here. I think this is the butterfly comb? Wait, let me try the link.

I would love to actually be able to see a picture of Barb Piper's birds.

Thanks bantamF for showing us those pictures. Their combs are very different from ours.

I would love to be a part of trying to get the breed to where it needs to be! But right now I'm completely focused on my "high quality EE" project. I just love houdans; I have loved them ever since I found out about the breed. I'd love to have some.
