Splashes
Beth C:
I can kick in some, too. Are we hoping to get both the splash & splash wheaten recognized at this time, or just the splash? I don\'t have any blue/splash but should have a fair number of splash wheatens this season, since a lot of my breeders are blue wheaten.
Jean:
I just received information back from the ABA, it is $250.00 or $500 for the fee and it is nonrefundable. I am awaiting clarification of which fee is applicable.
The APA fee is $200.00 and is refundable.
I am thinking we are only going to try and get lavender and regular splash birds recognized for the time being. Splash Wheaten, to my knowledge, is not recognized at all. I have not seen any shown in the past five years.
I am also awaiting conformation from Sam Brush on how we should be entering our non standard varieties correctly in shows. I have always entered them under AOV - (insert color here) and have been told this is incorrect.
Again, all final decisions will be made by the Board. I am just thinking out loud.
Sharon Yorks:
If you get both Lavender and Splash recognized, is it $200 each or a one time fee for both if both changes are made at the same time? Also, is there a problem with the APA paying the fee? If so, there may be enough people who would join together to help. It would only take around 10 people with $20 each. I will help. --Sharon
Jean:
I believe it\'s per variety, per size. So LF splash would be $200.00 and bantams would be another $200.00 with the APA and another $250.00 with the ABA.

It is. Just use the variety name when filling out entry forms. The show secretaries may or may not include \"AOV\" on the coop cards, but that would be for their own information and is never part of the variety name. When in doubt, just check the standard for correct spellings and proper variety names. Don\'t write \"self black\" if the variety is \"black\". Keep it simple and don\'t add any extra descriptive words that aren\'t required. ;)
