Heidi - I'm curious - I seem to remember there's a rule of thumb about
how many generations it takes to be at the point where the breeding is
"true", where the genes are "set".  QH & TB have Arab blood, but no one
would consider them to be part Arab - they're their own breeds.  But at
what point does a cross become a breed?  (I mean from the genetic
viewpoint, not the commercial!).  Thanks, Lif
