Game Fowl combs?

[Illia]

Umm, both of you, not sure where that info came from. I've never ever heard of or seen a dubbed Oriental Game. There's no need to. They have a tight to moderately sized pea comb and very little to preferably no wattles. Naturally.


Even the website for "game" activities with Oriental Gamefowl has absolutely no dubbed birds out of the hundreds shown in their gallery.

I'd speak to your judge about that if I were you. The SOP calls for a pea comb, nothing about it being dubbed.

well here in Nicaragua where they "Game" them, they do... I know they are small but they do it so their opponent can't grabb them,

Are they Orientals?

stupid judge! probley thought he was different breed my sister showed a dutch bantam 1.5 years ago and almost got diquailified because judge thought it was modern game and it wasnt dubbed. she left crying, my mom talked to the judge and reliezed what happened. she ended up getting reserve champuon with that bird

Actually that ONLY is for Modern and Old English Gamefowl.

Orientals like Shamos, Asils, Malays, - Don't need dubbing. Americans aren't APA recognized so you don't often see them in shows but they are showable to their own organization, in which I don't always see dubbed birds.

American Games are indeed recognised; I think it was within the last couple of years for APA; bantams have been recognised by ABA for quite a few years (they are listed in my 2005 Bantam Standard). Like moderns and OE, American Game are required to be dubbed. But you are right about the orientals--no dubbing.

Sounds to me like the judge was not a licensed judge, and doesn't know squat about the breeds. My suggestion is to invest in a copy of the standard and keep it with you at shows. If there are any really OFF judgings, you can always protest. Usually have to put up a fee of about $25, that you may forfeit if your protest is not upheld. But if it is, your money is returned. Judging rules include how protests are handled--not just the same judge, but a committee to review the protest. Must be done almost immediately after judging--definitely not the next day.
