Alright, this is the least related stallion.Farant wrote:Okay, I'll wait for your reply. Thank you!
The other ones I got are these: Богдан, and Альберт.
Didn't care much about BR or HGP at the point of breeding the Don (was a side project), so, they're not over the top x) But they'll do, I suppose.

I want to ask, how long does it take to return to purebred from half Don, for example?

Oh, maybe two or three generations; I'm not sure, honestly. Purebred + half is going to get you an 80% foal, like this one. Around 97% you get to purebred again. Proof here.

Well, I'm going to rise them up. I'm looking for Grade horses among mine who will get them to 40-50K HGP and after that return to purebred. I know it's not so fair, but I just can't sit and wait for them to get good stats and quality. What do you think of that?

Definitely.Qim wrote:Well, I think it's a good idea, because that's how it worksCertainly good for the breed. If I had the space, I'd be doing the same thing, so. Let me know if you need any of my stallions in future, and we'll arrange it.
I'll prepare some light Grade horses for this breed, I'm able to get around 50-60K HGP, maybe even higher. We will breed them to your stallion to get 4-6 foals at once. I think I need a week or so to prepare.

You got a good pair of grades there -- let me know when you got some foals out of them, eh


Re: Russian Don
You mean out of your stallion or just any stallion? If you want them, I'll give them to you after 1-2 foals.Qim wrote:He's up.Farant wrote:I'm ready. Please, put this stallion for stud.
