Stupid Breed Question

[The Wolf Queen]

What is the difference between Japanese and Seramas?

Anybody???

Well, they do have similar stances, but here are a few key differences.

1. Seramas are supposed to look like this: (thanks, Ondra's Seramas!)

2. Japs are a little bit bigger, I believe. Seramas can be as small as 2 lbs!

That's all I can tell you for now, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along soon!

By the way, the only "stupid" question is the one that doesn't get asked.

Ideal size for a serama is 14 oz, 2 oz less than a pound! They are disqualified if they are over 16.8 oz.

I do not know much about japs, but if you get a pic of a good quality chabo and a good quality serama, they do look different. And the japs are bigger and built lower to the ground.

Somewhat but I think I could still use some help.
