Lately the Peruvian game fowl has caught the fancy of many Filipino breeders, the very high cost of the Peruvian notwithstanding. However, information about the fowl is scarce. This led to some breeders taking advantage of beginners and those who wanted to start up with raising the Peruvian Game fowl.

Adding to confusion is the fact that breeders of often Peruvian quarrel with one another. Read the post on the web, including the FB, to Peruvian game fowl oriented threads and you will see various disagreements about the Peruv. One calls his own as authentic, and those of the others as fake. Quarrels among Peruv breeders are also common in the US and Peru.

A decade ago, controversy erupted among breeders in Peru themselves. In one interview, a well known Peruvian breeder commented that a couple of books about the Peruv had no value. He also accused another famous Peruvian breeder of falsely claiming that a strain of Peruvian gamefowl bearing his name had been created. (These controversies are incuded in Notes on the Peruvian.)

Not long ago a breeder Ron Giron said that he is the only breeder of pure authentic Peruv in the US and the rest including some known breeders are selling mere crosses if not fakes. Giron even mentioned a few Filipino Peruvian breeders as dishonest to buyers of their Peruvs.

In the Phiippines, a winner of the Bakbakan stag championship who claimed to have fought Peruvian graded stags, was criticized because his stags didn’t look much of a Peruvian to many observers who claimed to be experts in the Peruvian game fowl.

All these because, unlike other breeds of fighting cocks or chickens in general, there are no clear cut breed standards for the Peruvs yet. It might be that there no such breed as a Peruvian. They are assortment of gamecocks or strain of gamecocks from Peru.
