[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1790917, member: 40587"] I think you are correct. The reason APHA ( American Paint Horse Association) exists is because of the excessive white rule in AQHA. When AQHA was formed in the 40's,there was no DNA testing. There is no tobiano coat patterns in any existing horse breeds. Tobiano is only found in pony breeds. So, excessive white was a strong indication that somewhere in the pedigree wood pile was a pony. Quite often, breeding two AQHA sorrels with white stockings and a blaze face, would result in a foal that had too much white to be registered AQHA, so APHA was created to register those horses, About 15 or so years ago, a prominent and wealthy AQHA breeder had a fols that had too much white, and decided to sue. The court ruled that with the DNA testing that AQHA had required for years, that a QH x QH = a QH, and the white rule was thrown out. And many a registered APHA paint horse went back and got their AQHA papers, too. I too, see DNA testing become a criteria for some branded beef programs, and a cheap and quick DNA test will be developed. This will allow many red Angus to be included in the programs that want them, but will exclude all of the breeds that have been " bred up" form Angus. You can have red and spotted Simmentals again, red Gelbievs and limis again, etc. ! Where as Balancers and SImmAngus would probably still qualify. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
