Seeking advise for breeding prospects

[cgipson]

Her dam is Rowdy Lil Rosebud (Little Bo Badger by Peppy San Badger out of Robyns Rowdy Rose by Lil Robyns Pep by Peppy San Badger). Her pedigree is on Allbreedpedigree.com if you'd like to look at it. Her tail female line goes into some racing pedigrees but those bloodlines have always been so good to cross onto. It's Super Go Man by Go Man Go. In 2007 she had a buckskin colt - he's sold to a gentleman in the Netherlands but he is staying in the US to be trained and shown by Sam Smith (he's the guy that trained and showed Hollywood White).

The dam is sorrel - her dam and sire are both sorrel. Hollywood White is a perlino/dun and he is not homozygous - so he sires both buckskin, palomino, dun and not dun, and he's sired a smokey grulla. So far my 2 Half Arabs have been buckskin duns - all of my QH foals have been palomino duns but as I said we still have some to go so I'm sure we'll get some buckskins. Last year we had a bunch of buckskins and then the last half of foals were all palominos! It's like opening Christmas presents - you never know what color or sex you'll get!!

Here's a photo of Rosebuds filly just after birth and you can really see her dorsal.



Yes she is for sale.

So he's heterozygous for Dun (Dndn) and red/black factor (Ee) and homozygous for diltion (CrCr)? This has been confirmed via the phenotypes of his get? Do you have any knowledge relating to agouti?

If I have it correct, Hollywood would be Ee aa/Aa/AA(?) Dndn CrCr. Is that what you've concluded as well?

While I'm at it, do you generally find his physical attributes (confirmation) showing over the mare's or vice-versa? In otherwords, is he prepotent?

Have you confirmed he's HYPP nn and HERDA nn via genetic testing?

HW has absolutely no Impressive - my info is that no need to HYPP test with no Impressive and I've not had him tested for HERDA either. He has had close to 80 QH foals now and with the HA's it's well over 100. No HERDA problems - and if I heard right - the HERDA connection is through Doc Olena descendants - I'm not sure but it's what I've heard.

Being a double dilute - he's, of course, homozygous for the cr. His dam is Smokey Black, and his sire a palomino dun. He is definitely a dun as he sires duns from Arab mares, that breed has no dun gene. He has sired buckskins out of many sorrel mares and of course palominos out of bay mares - he has one smokey black filly (QH) (out of a dark dark chestnut mare) and one smokey grulla filly (QH) (out of a sorrel very loud paint mare). He's been bred to only one black mare from what I know. People don't have the right colors on their mares papers even when they know that the color on the papers is incorrect. One client sent me papers on a grulla mare - the next year called me saying her mare had a double dilute - then also told me that the mare wasn't grulla but black - she'd never changed the color - then in a few days when the fillies skin turned black around her eyes she realized that the filly is a palomino. So you never know.

I don't describe his color in those alpha terms as most people I talk with don't understand them so I don't know if you - alpha terms - are correct but I've described him, and you seem to know that description so I'm sure you understand his color.

Congrats on the N/N on the HYPP and HERDA for your mare! Have fun shopping for her boyfriend and may you find a perfect mister with N/N on his tests too!

I'd be interested in talking to you about the filly. Perhaps, we could chat offline and you could tell me more of the details.

My email is bfrench@chartermi.net.

Thanks!
