mini mancha cross

[OneFineAcre]

I know what you mean. Someone asked us once why we wouldn't just register our unregistered kids under one of our registered does... I couldn't believe that they would ask that. I just looked at them and said, "Why would I do that? That is unethical and I would know the truth." It's scary to think there are people out there like that. Next thing everyone will need to start doing DNA because of the few that abuse the system. Sad really.

ADGA does do a random sampling of DNA testing of bucks registered every year. It's like every so many animals registered get picked. Not sure if it's every 10th, 20th or what ever that's registered but something like that.

I was thinking that the original OP wants Minis as the post was titled mini manchas

I think you are correct.

Not quite sure about that... if so looking at mini's that is not the right direction the percentage must be lower and and all criteria must be met. It takes about 5-6 generations and a lot of work.
Just in case this is the best place to go...

How adorable! Just a warning though, most F1 Minis I've seen get nearly as big as their standard parent! Especially that high percentage ...

Yes that percentage is high and will cause the size to be larger. Our mini's... we have 5 are all 24" and under and are about 60-65 lbs. We specifically focus on keeping them mini... but it is an issue. I see no point in a mini that is just shy of 27" and 100+ lbs... that IMO isn't much of a mini.
