CAMPINE STANDARD 



America's First Campine Standard 



Note: — This Standard is copyrighted by the American Campine Club and Is reprinted here for its historical 

 value. This Standard was submitted to the members of the American Campine Club and at the annual meeting 

 of the club, Madison Square Garden, December, 1912, a committee was appointed to revise and perfect this Stand- 

 ard, and the committee met in Buffalo, January, 1913, and the Standard that this committee drew up was submitted 

 to the club and accepted by a mail vote, March 17th, 1913. 



The club, through its secretary, Mr. Jacobus, made application for the admission of the Silver and Golden 

 Campines to the American Standard of Perfection. This Was in the spring of 1914. The question of standard came 

 before the Standard Revision Committee of the A. P. A. at its meeting in Chicago, May 11-12, 1914, and the Cam- 

 pine Standard was referred back to the writer for such changes as would make it conform to the general character 

 of the A. P. A. Standard. 



The application of the Campines to the Standard was voted on by the general convention of the A. P. A. at 

 the annual meeting, which was held in Chicago, August 10-14, 1914, and the Campine became a Standard breed rec- 

 ognized in two varieties. Silver and Golden. For the new and complete Campine Standards see the American Stand- 

 ard of Perfection.- — Ed.
