In the time I have been breeding silvers it seems as though people want the end product without realizing that it takes time, patience, luck, money, etc. to get to it. It gets very frustrating to consistently hear I want a black silver, or I want a silver warmblood that is able to get full registration papers or I want an silver appaloosa that has spots.
I understand, really I do!!!
I want the same things, however, it takes time and people that are willing to breed for it.
Right now, as far as, I know in QH my boy, Champs Guthrie (AQHA/NFQHA) and his son, Andretti MVF (AQHA Appendix) & his daughter, RoseMari MVF (AQHA Appendix) filly can produce black silvers. The others are homozygous for agouti - resulting in bay or brown.
As far as warmbloods of full size are concerned and full registration, the only way I can see that anyone can get full registration with a reputable WB organization is through fillies and is either to find the ellusive silver Dutch warmbloods or to take an appendix QH with 50+% TB blood, have them approved Old NA/ISR, breed to WB and breed the QH out. This will take several years and no QH listed through 3 generations! This was my goal with Amelia MVF & RoseMari MVF as both are almost 60% TB blood. I believe it is Talia's goal to breed her 1/2 Trakehner/Paint filly along this route as well.
Now with appaloosa ... correct me if I am wrong but I believe no one has stepped forward with any registered Appaloosa to date except our Khepri TDS. Unfortunately she didn't get her spots but could be bred to a snow cap or few spot for guaranteed spots with the chance of silver.
Please understand I am not trying to be negative or anything just wanted to remind people that silver is in such early stages of development for black silver, warmbloods and appaloosa that you will either have to wait and hope someone produces what you are looking for or you will need to step up and work on producing it yourself. Ideally it would be nice if we all were apart of developing the final products since we all have different goals not just relying on a select few.
