Ironically, the major breed- ers of these early Phoenixes were top show breeders of leghorns. First there was Dan Boone and then his flock was passed on to John Kriner Sr. John Kriner Sr. passed his birds on to his son, John Kriner Jr. and it is from him that Cy Hyde bought his first birds and from that line that almost all the birds called phoenix in America descend. Of the Minohiki, Shokoku and Satsuma type birds, the Yokohamas were made through crosses with game breeds in America and Europe, although none of the American lines of Yokohamas survive to my knowledge.
