Can a paint horse give birth to a welsh?
The Paint registry is stricter in breed credentials. To be considered a Paint, the sire and dam must BOTH be registered with either the American Paint Horse Association, the American Quarter Horse, Association or the Jockey Club (TBs). One of the parents MUST be registered with the APHA. As Welsh is not an accepted breed for the Paint registry, you could not have a purebred Welsh double registered as a Paint, and a Paint could not give birth to a purebred Welsh foal. If your sire is a Welsh, and your dam is a Paint, then the Paint mare could birth a half Welsh foal. The baby, however, would not be considered a purebred Paint or purebred Welsh.
