This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does the Registry consider breeding to an UNREGISTERED Fjord to be cross breeding? A friend has a mare who is purebred but unregisterd because of the break in the transfer of papers, etc. of her dam. We know her parentage, both were registered with NFHR but the the dam's papers were not properly tranfered and the mare in question was never properly registered. The owner is now trying to get her registered but is having difficulties.
The question comes up because my friend who has the only Fjord stallion in Alaska (that I know of) has said he is afraid he will be penalized for "crossbreeding" if he breeds his stallion to this unregistered mare. The mare owner, while she would prefer to have her fjords registered, is mostly interested in breeding her mare for a another fjord for herself. But she would like to be able to register the foal also. I am concerned that if she is not allowed to breed to a fjord stallion she will simply choose a non Fjord! I wouldn't think there should be any penalty for breeding to non registered purebred fjords. Can you clear this up?
