tail female lines

Postby stancaris » Mon Dec 26, 2011 11:32 am

To all: lets say I find a horse in family 1 who traces in tail-female to Doxa who was a foal in 1901. Can i say with confidence that the horse in question most likely actually had Doxa in tail female or has the number of mistakes in the original studbook based on haplotype DNA research really made the female family not predictable even though the pedigree traces to the above mentioned mare.

The only publicly documented anomaly established by mtDNA haplotyping in family 1 is not in Doxa's branch.

The lines we have tested to Doxa (and by that to the same ancestor of Tregonwells Natural Barb mare) seem to be 'right' in terms of classification.

Why the question?
