[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 59563, member: 9"] Both the Peruvian Paso and Paso Fino are considered to be distinct and separate breeds. Both breeds have several Spanish horse breeds in their distant ancestry (as do all other livestock breeds have mixtures of animals within their breed, species). After several hundred years of selective linebreeding and outcrossing, BOTH the PP and PF have evolved into two distinct "pureblood" breeds with their own unique characteristics. I'm not very up on the Paso Fino breed. But, my impression is that if either the PP or PF fail to exhibit the desired characteristics of their specific breeds they would not be considered "desirable" specimens; however, as long as either were purebred to their own breed they would be eligible for registrtion in their respective Associations as a pureblood PF or PP. Bottomline: It is considered a serious "defect" in conformation, type, or whatever IF the Paso Fino exhibits Termino; or, if the Peruvian Paso FAILS to exhibit Termino. Since these traits are dominant among pureblood PP and PF, either of these defects (respective to the specific breed) would be suspect of either a defective gene popping up; or, evidence of a cross-breeding event.
