To
increase interest in and to help preserve Dominique large
and bantam chickens, the Dominique Club of America was founded
in early November, 1973, at Columbus during the Ohio National
Show. Since then the Club has grown well and the number
of people keeping, breeding and showing Dominiques has increased
significantly. Dominique Club activities include publishing
the Dominique News four times a year, offering awards for
Dominique winners at shows and holding an annual meet, at
which friendly competition, fellowship and an exchange of
ideas and suggestions are encouraged.
The
Club also provides a central point for information on sources
of Dominiques for new members as well as for breeding stock
for those working on their own strains. The Club is active
in searching out and assembling historical information on
Dominiques.
The
Club provides tangible recognition, including a Member of
the Year Award, for the member making the most notable contribution
to Dominiques in that year; and a Dominique Breeders' Hall
of Fame, for those who have made a significant contribution
toward preserving the Dominique breed. It also offers a
Master Breeder Award, which members can earn by successful
breeding and showing of large or bantam Dominiques.
