About The President Of
American Game Fowl Society
Anthony Saville
Born in South Africa in 1944. Has kept
and shown Game fowl for fifty years. Moved to the USA in 1993 and is a
proud Naturalized American.
Became a Judge in South Africa for Game fowl
in 1977. 3 Hour written examination and passed with 96%. Then to
qualify had to judge the class at the Championship show after the other judges
already had judged the classes and had to be at least 90% the same as the other
Judges If there was any discrepancy had to defend the reason for
differing from the other judge.
Judged and Qualified other new Judges at
the Championship show and has taken Major awards at the South African
Championship show when showing and not Judging..
Helped the
Association for the Preservation of Game fowl (APG) as a judge at their shows in
California.
Just in case you think Anthony does not know other
poultry he is also a qualified Australorp Judge as well.
Anthony was
accredited as a Judge to Judge the Oxford Old English Game Fowl for the Oxford
Old English Game Fowl Club in South
Africa.
The American Game Fowl
Society has appointed Anthony Saville as the first Oficially Qualified American
Game Fowl judge qualified to judge American Game Fowl and American Game Fowl
Bantams.
In 1994 at an American A.P.A. show Anthony?s bird shown was
disqualified for Yellow Legs and an inferior bird with white legs was placed
First. ?Why should showmen like you all have to put up with some trait
that some individual thinks we need.?
American Game Fowl are not Old
English Game and need to be accepted as a stand alone breed.
The
reason Anthony compiled and produced the Standard of Perfection for the American
Game Fowl was to ensure that some or other person who does not KNOW one end of
an American Game Fowl from the other supplies a Standard which does not
apply to our American Game. Then we and all our Future Game fowl
enthusiasts are stuck with a Standard that could not work.
Worse than that the AMERICAN Gamefowl in all their beauty could be lost
forever.
The specialist Breed Society the AMERICAN GAMEFOWL
SOCIETY. Has been formed to look after all the needs of the American Game Fowl
and to submit the Show Standard for affiliation with the A.P.A. American Poultry
Association. Our Gamefowl are not just some other
chickens. They are part of our Proud American
Heritage.
That is the reasoning behind Anthony's decision to present the
Show Standard for AMERICAN GAME FOWL.
Our Game fowl need some help
now and for all the pleasure they have given me it is my pleasure to return to
help our Proud Heritage. GOD bless America and our American Game
fowl.
