OLD VARIETIES CANARY ASSOCIATION NATIONAL SHOW RESULTS
his Year’s National Exhibition showed a good increase with 200 birds of many breeds on the show bench. This year’s Judge was WILFRIED SWYNGEDAUW from Belgium. A COM/OMJ for many years it was his first judging engagement in England. Last year saw the two leading exhibits competing for the “Best in Show Award” one from the “Old Varieties Section” and the other from the “Rare Breed Section”. This top award proved popular so was repeated again this year and will be in the future.
T This year’s Best in Show was awarded to B.A.
Hogg’s Flighted Lancashire Coppy Hen, a big, bold Lancashire for a Hen and was a popular choice. The Best Rare breed was an Unflighted Japanese Hoso exhibited by Chris Smith, a lovely small bird with good position. The best Parisian Frill was a Novice bird exhibited by Cemal Cemal. The North Dutch Frill is now seen in greater
numbers, Mr & Mrs D. Brown took best of breed with a smart Flighted bird while Kevin McCallum’s Unflighted clear North Dutch Frill Cock won the largest class in the section with 23 birds. In the Crest section Ian Wright won the top award with a Flighted Crest Cock, Best Scotch
Fancy was another Novice bird exhibited by Donald Skinner-Reid, an Unflighted Hen which showed good position and feather quality. The Belgian Fancy section had a few good
exhibits but many showed poor feather quality. The winning bird was a young Belgian Hen exhibited by B.A. Hogg. In the Rare Canary Section apart from Chris Smith’s Hoso there were some other good exhibits on show. Leading the good entry of Fiorino Frills was Joe
McCabe’s Plain head Hen. This new comer to the Old & Rare Breeds is proving to have a good eye for these breeds as he provided the Best North Dutch at last year’s National. The Best Raza Espanola was exhibited by Fernando Canada, this exhibit was Best Novice Rare. Andy Early won Best Rheinlander with a Buff Coppy. All in all the O.V.C.A was pleased with this year’s entry and would like to thank all exhibitors and looks forward to meeting all again at the 2016 event with an even bigger entry. The Association would like to thank The Parrot Society UK, Judge Wilfried Swyngedauw and all Stewards for their time and help and look forward to an even better event next year.
