Altholländischer Kapuziner - Capucin Hollandais - Old Dutch Capuchine - Oudhollandse Kapucijn

Theis an ancient breed dating back to the early fourteenth century when it was taken to Holland by Dutch sailors returning from India and the Middle East; it has a long and fascinating history. In appearance the breed has a well developed crest with a tightly filled mane and elliptically shaped rosettes on either side of the neck, forming a defined chain when viewed from the front. The feather is compact with well-defined webbing and there should be no tendency to soft loose feathering.
