But Dagrun, look at his pedigree. By the elite stallion Fjelljon
http://fjordstudbook.com/h-fjeljon.htm (bred, born and approved in
Norway) out of the elite mare Gaea who is by the Danish stallion
Hjerter Knaegt and out of the elite mare Asta. Since Holland does
DNA testing wouldn't his pedigree be without doubt?
Hi Lori,
I was suspecting that some neighbor's stallion had been sneaking in
during the days of the dam being bred to Fjelljon, but if they do DNA
testing that must be out of the question. Hm. Now I'm getting
interested. He really is not a fjord color. I agree that some fjords
have sparkling white guard hairs while some have more of a light tan
color, but never brown.
Would we be able to find a picture of Gaea the dam? I'm curious now.
If he really is a pure fjord, this is a very interesting case and is
worth studying. I am still skeptical since he looks exactly like
crosses I have seen, but I am hoping I am wrong - maybe all the genes
suddenly combined to recreate the darker color fjords from the old
days (there are records in Norway of black and brown fjords).
Wouldn't that be cool.
Dagrun
