Self Blue (Lavender) Silkie Thread

[Elite Silkies]

Quote:
Laura, I did not name names of organizations or individuals.....I wasn't involved at that time, and I did not say that the ABA was involved in anything that wasn't proper, but I know for a fact that not all varieties went through the current qualifying process. That is what I KNOW to be true. If someone can prove me wrong, I'll be happy to apologize and own my error, but if you look into the facts as they apply to silkie varieties, I don't believe you can. The fact is that there were varieties that were added, whether they were added by the APA or ABA or whomever, they were added without benefit of qualifying as it is done today. It is not my intention to offend, and I certainly did not know that I was hitting a 'hot button'.

Respectfully,

Deb Steinberg

Deb,

The bottom line is, if you want the Standard for the Grays changed, go through the motions to change it. Slinging mud at the past is a waste of time. You got a problem? Fix it.

Laura

I personally think it's time to back off of Deb, and move on. This thread is not for bashing, and I don't feel that Deb has slung any mud. For all of you that do not personally know Deb, she is a very nice and kind person. We could all benefit from her knowledge of Silkies.

off on a totally different direction- is wry tail or cataracts genetic traits? i am being blessed with some special needs silkies, and am wondering if those are genetic issues?

Wry tail is, not sure about the cataracts, but I would think they would be, too.

I have posted a separate "AOV" thread for the American Paint Silkie.
