Pure, you say?!? Have a look and think about it.

: of pure blood and unmixed ancestry

 

If anyone uses “pure” when trying to sell some a bundle or horse, ask them if it has “unmixed ancestry”.

 

According to the correct definition from the dictionary, there is nothing pure, regarding these horses.

 

I know this post will likely upset some folks, but life is tough. When the word “pure” is used, it is disinformation and untrue. It is not doing the product OR community OR new breeders justice.

 

Here is why… a new breeder sees a “pure” black walker sibling set. Does a little research, likes the way they look and the owner of the set sees this potential new customer, comes and raves that they are “pure”.  If this new customer knows what pure means, then what is he going to think when those walkers drop a white\brown\golden pinto, 2 months after starting the breeding?

THIS is why it is not a good idea. Folks are led to believe something and when that does not do what the seller indicated would happen, then the new breeder is soured.

 

My experience has shown that at any time anything in the background, can possibly pass at any time, and I believe this is by design. Only Josie and the scripters will know as to whether this is accurate. However, experience is a great teacher.

To be honest with you, you are only partially accurate. 

A pure bred, in horses as well as other animals such as dogs is not 100% pure. A pure bred is in fact 87.5% of a specific breed. Purebred are those animals that have been bred-up to purebred status as a result of using full blood animals to cross with an animal of another breed. The breeders association rules the percentage of fullblood genetics required for an animal to be considered purebred, usually above 87.5%. - ASPCA

Following this - A purebred is considered pure after 3 generations of the pedigree - this means that 3 generations of the pedigree must be in both mother and father before it will create a full pure bred offspring.

So in actuallity the horses being mentioned can indeed be pure breds if they are above 87.5% of the breed and are 3rd generation or more of said breed

1st gen black walker with 1st gen black walker - whose parents were white walker and brown walker = not pure but produces a black walker

2nd gen black walk with 2nd gen black walker - both parents were 1st gen black walkers = not pure but produces black walker

3rd gen black walker with 3rd gen black walker - both parents 2nd gen black walker = not pure but produce black walker

4th gen black walker with 4th gen black walker - both parents were 3rd gen black walker = pure black walker.

Then, I will be happy to be "partially correct" and honest. And, I will remember how "pure" is defined.

And, I will also point out that Josie has confirmed that these scripts were done in such a way to mimic\replicate Mother Nature, as closely as possible.

And, I do believe that Mother Nature was here LONG before all these folks put these standards in place.
