The Hint Horoz and his fighting style
In Islam, animal fights of any kind, as gambling or amusement games are prohibited. Ring battles, however, are allowed. The difference between a wrestling match and a wild struggle is that, in case of wrestling there are rules and in case of wild battles, there are none Even in free nature animals fight according to rules. Sometimes the fights are shows or pseudo fights, or real conflict struggles. In case of a real battle mostly the losing rooster escapes.
In the arena the losing animal can not escape, so the cockfight rules were introduced so that no animal can be killed. Stamina struggles have been organized, thus pious Muslims were able to calm their conscience. For this spores were filed down or tied up with rags.
As far as technique is concerned, the fighting races are divided in defensive struggling and offensive struggling breeds. The fighting technique is genetically determined and can not be trained. The Hint Horoz, as fighter with natural spores is a defensive fighter, the Thai fighters with artificial pores is, for example, is a faster offensive fighter.
Since the fighting behaviour can hardly be trained, the mere hint Horoz is bred on perseverance, struggle and vitality. In addition, the animals are trained on strength and endurance. With constant training to cock develops new combative skills and can use them in the tournament. Only intensive training in conjunction with a good breeding brings successfully winners.
The hint is a natural spore fighter. He fights with beaks, spurs and wings. The latter two are needed at the beginning of the struggle. The beak should be short and, like the bead of a bird, slightly curved. Because the shorter the beak, the more force when the cock has when biting and tweaking. Long beaks can be concealed with good training and by overcoats. To the animals learn the open battle, in which they should not bite. They shall learn to attack the enemy with wings and the spurs. When the animals get tired, they begin to fight as head fighters. The Hint Horoz is a passive fighting animal he can fight over three hours. For the fight with artificial blades the hint Horoz is not suited because of his fight style.
The plumage of the Horoz Hint is short and closely attached. The color does actually not matter the main thing is that the animal has fighting spirit and the will to be a winner. The weight is between 2.5 kg and 4.5 kg. There are, however, also hint with a weight of up to 5.5 kilograms. These animals are usually only head fighters and often too difficult for the battle. The most popular weight classes are from 3 to 3.5 kilos. Light animals are very quick, but have no power. The very heavy animals, unfortunately, are often too slow and quickly tired by their weight.
In Hintfights professionals take care on differences of 100 gram. That means, the opponent may not have more than 100 grams in weight than the challenger. If on both sides there is a consensual agreement, then the weight difference may also make some more grams. Generally young animals do not fight against old animals. If they do, for reasons of equal opportunity the spores have to be covered.

A successful modern fighting cock in Turkey must have won at least 3 fights in the arena under 60 minutes. 30 years ago in Turkey, the fights lasted 3 hours, today they still last 2 hours. If a modern fight lasts more than 60 minutes, then it means that the modern fighting cock has failed. A modern cock should have a good technique, should be intelligent, should have a very muscular body and bird like instincts. Only winning modern struggle taps are used for breeding, but it does not matter how they look. If you take a cock from another breeder in your own breeding, it is important to you to have seen with your own eyes, that the cock has won, because every fight cock breeder believes his rooster is the best ..

What ist different between a modern fighting cock (Dögüs Horozu) of a new Hint figting breed, and a mere hint Horoz? In a modern Hinthoroz fighting line, the blood of several fighting cock races flows, whose racial characteristics such as fighting style, stamina, speed and accuracy in a modern fighting cock will be united. The breeding of such CrossMix hybrids demands excellent animals of each starting race, a lot of experience and a good eye for the characteristics of different breeds for a successful winner animal.
Today's successful fight cocks modern battle lines have a very high accuracy to hit the head of an opponent, an extremely high rate of strokes and struggle in a very aggressive manner. Hint Horoz fighting cocks of older lines can have very long struggle in their defensive style. They will struggle but at the beginning of a struggle by the aggressive behavior of modern fighting cocks they are highly challenged.
To compare Hint Horoz of old lines, with modern Hint Horoz lines is as if you would compare apples and pears. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the breeding of pure Hint Horoz is very important. The breeding of pure Hint Horoz should not be intended on beauty but on the promotion of steadfastness and perseverance. Previously the Hint Horoz have been famous for your steadfastness and known for its great fighter's heart. The Hybridisation of various breeds in the Horoz Hint diluted these properties, Breeding of Hint Horoz can ultimately mean only pure bred.
Established breeds are the best starting position for the breeding of modern fighting cock lines, even years after they are for breeding or of great value. Often the best breeding animals are given away for the offspring to get more room, perhaps after years the breeders will noted that with this animal genetic resources and valuable part of his success are lost.
