If you can find it, the White Holland.

It should be noted that while some claim to have this breed or that, they are not true to the breed, having been crossed for genetic diversity in the breed. It may look like a duck and walk like a duck but it may not be a duck.

We started a discussion on this topic a while ago ..
During WW1 and 2 many breeds were lost or reduced to a scant few not enough to keep a breed going , there was a man in germany who was trying to revive 2 of these breeds by recreating them , his results were pretty impressive.

You can search out any one of these rare breeds and see a pic, allen setter are pretty nice looking birds, An old American breed that you dont see much
