The "white" (pearl to gravel) type. Cere should be flesh
color.

no gullet
Beak and Wattle
(5 pts.): Beak should be flesh colored. Wattle
is smooth and flesh colored.
Flights and Tail

web and carried so that tips almost meet over, and about
½ inch from end of tail, which should be short, closely
folded, and slightly tapering.
Body, Carriage and Conformation
(18 pts.): Medium with straight keel,
wedge-shaped, erect upstanding appearance showing a
capability of great activity. Head up and slightly back.
Legs

any deformity and in a generally hard and firm
condition. Vigorous, clean and alert. Close and perfect
in feathering. Firmly muscled. Light in weight for size.
Color, Markings and Pattern
(20 pts.): In this sporting breed, less
importance is attached to color in this category. Head
white with a line in separation around neck running in a
clean unbroken line 1/8" to 3/16" below eye and beak,
and rising with a gradual curve to back of skull; the
neck to breast bone, shoulders, back, and inner
(secondary) flights to be colored; the ten outer
(primary) flights on both sides to be white; also the
tail and under part of the body from the breast bone and
thighs; more than 12 white flights on either side, or
less than seven to disqualify baldheads for competition
in this class.
Wings
(5 pts.): Held close to body and above tail.
Wing butts should be covered and well tucked in at
shoulders. Feathers should roll over back without
"sail".
Expression
(5 pts.): Smartness, eagerness, but not wildness
should be dominant with no suggestion of dull lack of
interest.
