Old Dutch Capuchine ( Oudhollandse Kapucijn )

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

The Old Dutch Capuchine is 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.
