Apparently in the UK, Pekins are bred to be upright like runners - how stinkin adorable is that??

Anyone got pics of their own? I wonder if anyone in the US is working with UK style Pekins. Because seriously

They arent bred like that here in Australia... They do look kind of weird standing like that to me - but very cute... I wonder if over time I could get my pekins standing like that If I let them live closer to my Runners!!!

My husband walked past, saw the picture, and said "Ooo! Polar bear duck!"

Really cute!

I remember watching an old movie yesterday and the girl was chasing around a white duck that looked like that. I think the story was supposed to be set in England, too, but I'm not sure if it was filmed there.
