Origin: Los Angeles, California

Parent Breeds: Jacobin, Indian Fantail, and Saint.

General Appearance: A hooded, muffed fantail. Hood somewhat resembling a Saint. Tail and stance somewhat like an Indian Fantail. Body a bit longer and slightly taller, showing a little of its Jacobin ancestry.

Hood and Crest Structure (10 pts.): Crest or top of hood highly placed. Feathers as thick and as high above the head as possible, blending smoothly into the front side feathers (chain). The crest and chain should form an arc or open faced hood, narrowing at the throat so that the eyes are visible from at least a 45 degree angle from the front. The feathers on the back of the head (mane), shall be long and thick and blend smoothly into the crest and chain. Hoods imperfect in shape or size should be penalized but not disqualified.

ail (25 pts.): In specimens approaching perfection, the tail should be large,

fully rounded, and held upright. Birds with scooped or less than perfect tails
should be penalized but not disqualified.

Muffs (15 pts.): Two types of muffs are acceptable. Small boots under 2 1/2" and large muffs over 2 1/2". Both types should be as thick, rounded, and as symmetrical as possible with toes well covered. Breeders of the large muffed type should strive for length. Breeders of the short muffed typed should strive for perfect shape and toe coverage.

Stance (25 pts.): Includes..
Neck: Medium to medium-long and full, perpendicular to ground and held high.
Chest and shoulders: Full and medium wide.
Feet and legs: Medium to medium long and flat footed. Back: Medium length. Head: Medium to medium large with frontal. Proud looking alert, dove-like. Eyes: Any color providing both eyes are the same color and bright.
Wings: Carried well under tail but not touching the ground.
Size: Medium to large preferred.

Color (10 pts.): The Indian Fantasy may be bred in any color or color pattern that enhances the natural beauty of the breed. Colors should be clear and bright. Intense colors should have as much sheen as possible.

Acceptance of Varieties: Beak crest: Should be symmetrical. Frillback: Frilled or curled wing feathers.

Judging Guidance: A well balanced bird is the ultimate goal. Hood and tail being most important, next stance, muffs, etc. If two birds are equal in points, difficult markings, frills, new colors, etc., should be given an edge. Fanciness, length of feathers, and color patterns enhancing this super exotic breed shall be encouraged. Due to the newness and complexity of the Indian Fantasy, tolerance should be used before disqualifying. Neck trembling is allowed. Rearing back is a fault.
