I also think breeding to the SOP is pointless.

Glancing at it, that appears to be what it is saying, and my general understanding is that poultry can be shipped with individual health tests and certificates verifying the bird is disease free.https://www.mbah.ms.gov/regulations/chapter-12/
Trying to translate the legalnese but seem like if the birds have tested negative with right paperwork it's fine? >.< my braincells are running short due to life stuff.
I think this summarizes why I even think twice about the SOP. My daughter enjoys showing and it's something we can do together. We are homesteaders, homeschoolers, and have no neighbors. Chicken people are our community. Short of inviting people to my property which I'm very unlikely to ever do, showing through the APA seems like the best way to show the next generation that there is value in keeping these birds around and thriving. They are a living piece of history, and there's simply no other backyard chicken like them. In a league of their own. However I don't care for the APA politics and I think that there are finer complexities to breeding that can't be described in a paragraph of a book.I do believe the future of gamefowl in Western Europe and the United States is getting them in the hands of average hobbyists who can learn about their positive traits and the utility of keeping them gamey.
Imo breed some for show and others for preservation. I do believe breeding to standards can have benefits, specially in the age of all the fad breeds and crosses but we have to not be so harsh on ourself to cull quality birds because they have a very minute flaw.I think this summarizes why I even think twice about the SOP.

I could see this. Seems like a sill pursuit to take away the very spark inside these birds. I’d certainly never choose that path to take the game out. However, at least in the northern Midwest, there’s nobody showing any oriental games, the oriental game fanciers association dissolved, and I don’t see anyone in any group about games showing a kick of interest in exhibiting. Modern games on the other hand…they need their own building to fit them all. SO MANY. I honestly doubt most judges even know what they are looking at with Aseels.So I'd rather see birds further away from the standard, that still hold true to their fighting ability. Or, I'd like to see more show breeders prioritize temperament
Modern Game fanciers are extremely popular, and in part their club members were smart and got the 4H and FFA crowd hooked. Similar to how Seramas are growing quickly in popularity.I could see this.
