G. Genetic Testing and Parentage Verification.
The genetic information for stallions and mares should be on file with the Association before they are used for breeding.
1. General Rule Regarding Genetic Testing.
Each applicant horse must be genetically tested in the method as prescribed by the Association and qualify as an offspring of the reported sire and dam by written analysis from a laboratory approved by the Association. This information must be on file with the Association or with a lab acceptable with the PFHA used by an accepted registry of the Paso Fino Horse Association before the applicant horse will be considered for registration and a Certificate of Registration issued.
A. Pedigree Eligibility.
1. Pure Paso Fino Required.
The horse must be of pure Paso Fino blood as verified by its pedigree. The burden of proof that a horse is a purebred Paso Fino rests solely with the person applying for registration.
2. Registration of Sire and Dam.
Both the sire and genetic dam (hereafter referred to as "dam") of the applicant horse must be registered with the Association or with an entity recognized as an accepted registry by the Association Board of Directors (hereafter referred to as an"accepted registry");
a. If an applicant horse and/or its sire and/or dam are registered with an accepted registry other than the Paso Fino Horse Association, copies of their Certificates of Registration from the accepted registry must accompany the Registration Application. The Certificates of Registration of the sire and dam may be utilized in processing a Registration Application in lieu of signed Breeder's Certificate or the Stallion Breeding Report. If copies of the Certificates of Registration of the sire and/or dam, but not of the applicant horse, cannot be obtained, a signed statement will be required from the accepted registries verifying the registration and pedigree of the sire and/or dam.
b. When copies of Certificates of Registrations or statements indicating the pedigree from an accepted registry are utilized in lieu of a Stallion Breeding Report and Breeder's Certificate, the pedigrees in which the horses listed in the second generation (grand sire and grand dam) or beyond differ from pedigrees previously recorded with the Association, the lower case letters "stb," meaning "said to be," will be place after those names that differ.
c. Only a purebred Paso Fino horse will be accepted from an "accepted registry." If the applicant horse, sire and/or dam are registered with an "accepted registry," the modality of the applicant horse, sire and dam must be listed as "Paso Fino" on their certificates of registration utilized in lieu of a stallion breeding report and breeder’s certificate for registration purposes. If the accepted registry designates partial % blood as purebred Paso Fino, that registry will be excluded as an "accepted registry."
d. A list of accepted registries will be provided by the Association upon request and will be published periodically;
