Has anyone had any luck verifying parentage via grandparents and other offspring for older (over 4) horses?
I read this on their website "Another hindrance with older horses can be the necessity of parentage verification. AQHA has required breeding stallions to be DNA typed for quite some time, but the requirement for a mare to be DNA typed was age and year specific. In some cases, it is not possible to get a DNA type from one of the horse's parents. AQHA can sometimes achieve this by building a DNA type through grandparents and other offspring. This is never a definite, and is handled on a case-by-case basis. AQHA charges an extra $100 fee that is non-refundable for horses whose paperwork requires in-depth research and manpower"
I know both sire and dam and both were registered, but the dam died before they got her DNA typed.
