This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've been reading all the posts on the unregistered fjords and at first I was a bit taken aback. I "thought" all fjords were registered. Then I realized "duh"...look at all the unregistered arabs, TB's , QH's...the list goes on and on. I am thankful that the breed I love has such distinguishable traits that you know what breed they are. I have never seen a cross (maybe someone could send me a pic so I can see what traits dominate), but if what we saw in the gelding was a cross then I can see what characteristics are lost.
What I did object to was how the MARE was advertised. Puppy dog? She was made out to be the perfect little pony...at 5. This is a wonderful, people oriented breed. But it is still a horse. I think ads like that hurt the breed more than the fact that these fjords were unregistered. One other question...are breeders required to keep a log of breedings? As in who/what/when? I know a responsible fjord breeder would never breed to another breed, but there are unscruplulous people out there as well as people who who may have bought stud colts, left them entire and just don't know about the policies regarding breeding fjords. Just food for thought... Kate
