Hello,
To get started here is some info.
You will need a affidavit from 5 breeders who have raised Orloff's for
5 years and they will need to swear that they reproduce 50% true. This
is for each variety/color. There is also a fee which I believe is
$500.00 for each variety/color. I will check the exact amount and get
back to you if this is what you want to do.
You will also need to start showing at least two of each: C, H, K and P
and have them evaluated on a form that I will provide by the judge that
judges them. How many people do you have that have raised these for 5 years?
Do you have a written Standard for each color in the APA Standard
format? Do you have a 2010 APA Standard in your possession?
There would be a qualifying meet for the Orloff's and you will need to
have 50+ birds equally distributed between C, H, K and P. It is wise to
have extra birds as poor examples will not be counted.
Are you an APA member and if so how long?
FYI: no one really knows why they were removed from the Standard, but
what is known is that they were different than the birds of today and
had a different comb as well, so you will be qualifying a breed/variety
that was never in the Standard.
Let me know where you stand with this and if you need more info to start.
