Proposed Working Standard
Broken Flemish Giant
Bob McBee Alvarado TX
Brokens are to include any recognized variety of the breed, or variety within a group, in conjunction with white. Colored
sections on Brokens are to match, as closely as possible, the standard for the colored variety. The twenty points allotted
to the color are to be applied half to color and half to pattern.
COLOR &
PATTERN – Brokens are to have both ears colored.
With color
around the eyes, and on the nose. (No preference given for a nose
butterfly over an evenly balanced nose marking.) The body pattern may
be spotted, with individual colored spots or patches over the back, sides,
and hips; or a blanket pattern, with color starting at or near the neck, and
continuing over the back, sides, and hips. Preference is for an evenly
balanced pattern. Toenails should be white, but there is no fault or
disqualification for colored toenail(s). Eyes – Color to correspond to the
colored variety requirement.
Faults – Unbalanced nose marking; excessive white in ears; unbalanced body
markings; uneven color. Color, in the judge’s opinion, more than 50
percent.
Disqualifications
from Competition – Color, in the judge’s opinion,
less than
10 percent. Absence of color on the nose (Note: Color appearing in any
area where the butterfly would normally occur satisfies the requirement
for a nose marking.), around the ears, or on the body. Eye color other
than called for. Excessive scattered white hairs in the colored section.
No disqualification for a white spot in a colored section.
