Runner-type ducks have a long history dating back thousands of years in parts of Asia, and the Fawn & White Runner Duck was admitted to the American Poultry Association Standard of Perfection in 1898.

Indian Runner Ducks have long been valued for searching out snails, slugs, insects, and other pests, making them useful around gardens when managed carefully.
