I had sent you a PM before reading this asking about Dottie. Yes she is a breeder of Bantam Cochins. She is one of the 3 names I sent you. Here is a paragraph written by Casey a while back that really sums up breeding frizzles.
One parent has to be frizzled. If you take two smooth birds from a frizzle x smooth mating and cross them together you will not get frizzles. In order to breed frizzles, one parent has to be frizzled, not just carrying the gene for frizzling, and one bird should be smooth. You dont have to have a smooth bird carrying those genes to cross over a frizzle to get nice frizzles, but if you do have a bird carrying the frizzle gene and breed it over a frizzle the feathering will be of better quality. When breeding or showing frizzles, the key is to not sacrifice the type of the breed its representing at the same time controling the quality of feathering. Frizzles feathers should be very wide/broad and have a nice even curl. And when showing, its important to bathe and dry the birds thoroughly. A frizzle will not show its real potential unless its feathers are clean.
