Perhaps these well known breeders would like to speak for themselves rather than being quoted out of context quite so often. We'd all love to hear from them. I did not bring up the size issue about your birds. I merely made the comment that 2 lbs over the weight limit is a DQ with anyone's birds. I bred rather nice Silver Laced Wyandotte LF years ago from Herb Holtz stock. Overweight was starting to be an issue then, and it has gotten out of hand now. Where does the blame / credit for this lie? With the breeders, or with the ultimate arbitrators, the judges ? If one part of the SOP is ignored, the rest will soon follow, and have no point in existing. Something needs to be done, one way, or another.

I can not imagine why they would not want to join us in this wonderful conversation. 
Maybe you will be the one who makes the APA listen to you and start DQ'ing for size.  UNTIL then I am breeding my birds the way I said.
Again, no comment on tail width, or head size, thickness of bones or perfectly level flat back.  You still dwell on size.  And I guess this means you can not use Monty.  He is 14 lbs.  Pack him up and give him to Don.  He will give him a good home since you will not want to promote size.

My whole problem with this line of conversation is that when Vickie originally gave the weight of Monty she got jumped all over like flies on poo for breeding too big. She stated that she'll never show him. Now she's hearing that she can't show him and that big is best cause they win shows no matter how big. What is it I'm missing here?

I missed it too. Who said she could not show him? Who is sayin "big is best"?
