It is clear to me you have decided that it is acceptable for you to buy and import Fjords with a pedigree complete only to the 3rd generation. You are also sufficiently confident in the pedigrees of these horses to register them with the NFHR on the basis of a 3-generation pedigree. And, finally, you are quite willing to represent these Fjords as 100% purebred to your buyers. It has been my observation that the reputation of Beaver Dam Farm as a breeder and importer of quality Fjords hinges in large part on the sterling pedigrees of your stock. If it's not necessary for you to do the research to fill in all those glaring holes in the 4th and 5th generations of your horses' pedigrees BEFORE YOU purchase them, then why should anyone else, including the Registrar, be concerned after the fact?
