Is DNA testing only for colour or can it determine parentage (if the parents are registered)?
I received an Appaloosa gelding who is drop dead gorgeous and very well bred. The person who gave him to me told me he did come from a breeder but was unable to tell me more than that. I would love to find out who this boy is.
So my question is this - if the dam and sire are registered, can a DNA test determine who they are? Or are DNA tests on horses only for determining colour?
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.
