Thank you so much. It means a lot to hear that my heart felt message has reached its target. I do know of one person who is applying for directorship of Region 4, your region. There are a couple others who have been approached for the position as well. All are wonderful people. I am sure you will be a good hands.

Hi, Susan! I just posted on the Heritage thread. I have just outside of Fort Smith so not in your Region but very close. I am just starting with Red Dorkings. I have a rooster from Hortmann and several juvies from the Tice line and would love to get in touch with some experts in the area to have them help me with choosing breeders, etc. Thanks!

Hi Susan,
Sounds like a fabulous idea, but I am in Washington. Is my regional director doing something similar?
--April

My name is Kim Consol and I am the Director for Region 2 of the Dorking Breeders Club. Region 2 includes the states of AK, AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT and WA.

Director's duties include helping to place meets throughout their region. The problem is that very few people with Dorkings exhibit them at shows. That's a shame. This historic breed deserves to have a presence beside all the other standard bred fowl that are exhibited for the public's pleasure and education.

Why aren't Dorkings seen at shows? Because the breed has been neglected by breeders who know how to breed to standard and bastardized by hatcheries and breeders who don't have the education or desire to preserve the breed true to it's type.

The Dorking breed has deteriorated into a trace of it's true regal form.

The first thing every Dorking owner needs to understand is that the Standard of Perfection is not just for people who show birds. The SOP is the tool with which we preserve the true Dorking breed for prosperity.

All those who appreciate the Dorking can help the breed in some way. Let's work together to give support and education to breeders who need it and offer camaraderie to all who have or revere Dorkings.

If interested, you can contact me at [email protected]

Hi! Mine are doing well. Of what I hatched I ended up with a red pyle cockerel with better leg length than his father, waiting to see if his pattern is as nice. My pullets are pretty decent some nice reds and some red pyles. Not at POL yet. Glad your girl is doing well!
