About the White Dorking
The White Dorking is pure white throughout, free of any straw or yellow tinge, and is generally smaller in body than the coloured varieties. Historically associated with the breed's earliest white-and-five-toed type, it was one of the three Dorking colours in the first American standard (1874) and is uncommon today. It shares the breed's deep table conformation, short five-toed legs and white eggs.
