Now, is that a fault for showing, or is it dictated that basically if Swedes have brown feathers they are not considered swedes? It's not like that up here in Canada. We have some of the world's last populations of Chocolate Swedes. Very rare, and still very authentic Swedish. I take it that you aussies don't have any Chocolate swedes?
I did reply to this bit earlier but I stuffed it up and BYC ate it, LOL.
Brown in the feathers is a fault for showing here. If a bird had brown, it would still be considered to be Swedish, just a Swedish with a fault. Unless it was brown all over... No chocolate Swedish in the Standard here but that doesn't mean someone might not be working on them. They'd look pretty nice!!!!!
