HOSO CANARY BREEDERS ALLIANCE COMPANION BREEDS
RHEINLANDER & RAZA ESPANOLA .
Adoted by the H.C.B.A. at the 2009 A.G.M .
The Rheinlander was originally called the Eurasier and was developed by German breeder Horst Noffke in the early 1980's.
Horst set out to develope a miniture 'Lancashire Canary' after visiting the 1979 World Show and did so by using the Gloster canary of the day ( much slimmer than the Gloster we see today ) crossed to the newly accepted Hoso posture canary .
Accepted by the COM the Rhienlander comes under the posture canary group as a bird of shape . Only clear birds are accepted for exhibition with no ticks or melanin present at all and the colours accepted are white , yellow or red .
The body should slim and cylindrical with the tail travelling slightly under the perch . The feather should be short and compact and only a slight gizzle is allowed in the crested version . The crest should be horseshoe shaped hanging down but not covering the eyes . The stance should be upright (the curve formed by the tail) . The palinhead version is exactly the same but with a small neat head. It should not exceed 12cms in size.
It is shown in the Border/Fife show cage (although some countries require it to be shown in a lancashire show cage ) and is rung with a 2.7mm ring.

It is common practise in mainland Europe for the Raza Espanola to be kept as a companion bird to the Hoso , not least because both breeds use the same show cage so no added expense is incurred by the keeper.
Developed by Spanish breeders from 1930 onward the Raza was accepted by the COM in 1956 , again a miniture breed that should not exceed 11cms it presents a 45 degree angle to the perch whilst in show pose.
All colours except red are allowed and it is rung with a 2.5mm ring. The potential keeper should never be tempted to cross any of the companion breeds with each other as all are distinct and unique breeds of exhibition canary.
