Origin:
Bred in Thuringia and middle Germany since ancient
times.
Overall Impression:
Medium-sized pouter with erect station, elegant
appearance, well-developed globe, and a somewhat
wide-ending peak crest.
Breed Characteristics:
Head: Proportionately long and narrow, forehead
moderately curved. A well-developed peak crest sits on
the back of the head and makes the narrow head appear
longer: The peak of the crest does not come to a point
and forms the so-called "comb" on the back of the head.
There should be a distinct parting of the feathere of
the crest and the back of the neck. This "break in the
mane" should be about even with the height of the beak.
This breed peculiarity should be found on every
specimen.
Eyes:
Bull in whites and monk-marked. All other colors to have
orange eyes. Narrow eye cere corresponding to feather
color except for whites and monk-marked, these have
flesh-colored eye ceres.
