He don't scare me! I'll bring a cute little blue tick hound and some filet mignon for him and my problems will be solved, he'll forget all about me in the chicken coops.

haha...don't underestimate the cuteness...he resembles cujo in a way like I've never seen in his attitude towards people he doesn't like. Our neighbor tries to bribe him all the time...he won't have any of it at ALL. Smart dog! haha

Here is a quick shot of "Dopey". I was out slosshing in the mud that day, trying to get a pic of her sister's crooked toes to post on the SOP thread, so not the best pic.

Vicki you know we are only just funnin' with ya cause we love that girl!

Debbi~ She's a doll!!!!!

 

[Debbi]

Yes, she's a cutie. She comes out of their crate in the morning with such Joie d' vivre! Hope I spelled that right??

She loves to fly, so everywhere she goes, it's always a flutter of wings. She's the goofy one of that bunch.

Lynette ~ Here's one of my Silkie boys for you!

haha I know you guys are totally joking! I just love my boy...and that he does his job so fantastically well! We are on a corner property and unfortunately people seem to target corner properties here...so having a guard dog is essential...esp since we are next door to a historical cemetary...people seem to think that means the fence between us and there are flexible or optional. I've caught people throwing things at my animals and ridiculous other things. Goliath has solved all these problems!

If it is an APA sanctioned show the judge has to DQ a bird with DQ faults. If it is a small fair type show that is not sanctioned by the APA/ABA the judge has some leeway to let certain things slide, but should write on the coop card that it is normally a DQ. If the person does not realize they have a problem and win a ribbon, they will think their bird is better than it is. Can't tell you how many times I have had people come up to me and say "Why did you DQ that bird, he was champion at so and so fair"? BTW: many of these small non sanctioned shows use judges that do not have a judging license, so that adds to the problem.

Hi Walt,

That was an APA show in Newnan. It was the first go around for the Black Coppers to qualify, and they didn't. Wonder why...

The BC's did not qualify the first time at Belvidere IL, but did qualify at Newnan.

Debbi! That little splash girl is a beauty....and so chunky! I love chunky birds!

alright...I suppose my free time ends for a while. Gotta go warm up the car and finish getting ready for work. The house is hoppin with very excited children! When they got in last night they all looked like they were zombies... I'll be back later this afternoon probably. I hope there will be lots more pretty pics to look at on here when I get home!
