How to List Paint Stallions for Breeding

1. If a stallion is registered in the Regular Registry or Breeding Stock Registry, there is a $75 (Non-members: $150) stallion listing fee due when the first stallion breeding report is filed*. The fee is a one-time charge to list a stallion as an eligible sire.

*NOTE: Stallion breeding reports are due on or before November 30 of the breeding year. The member rate for filing a stallion breeding report is $10 for each report plus $4 for each mare listed on the report (Paint, Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred). The non-member filing fee is $20 for each report plus $8 for each mare listed on the report. If the stallion breeding report is postmarked (postal meters are not acceptable) after November 30 of the breeding year, a late fee of $25 (Non-members: $50) is also due.

2. If a stallion is registered in the Appendix Registry and has a certificate that was issued prior to May 31, 1985, the certificate can be submitted for change to the Regular Registry at any time; there is no charge for this service. However, the stallion listing fee of $75 (Non-members: $150) must still be paid when the first stallion breeding report is filed. Refer to the section above for due date and filing fees.
3. If a stallion has an Appendix Certificate, is two years old or older and was registered under the hardship clause, please contact our Customer Service Department for the appropriate affidavit to be completed and returned to APHA along with the Appendix certificate.
4. BLOODTYPING/DNA GENETIC TESTNG. Beginning with the calendar year 1993, all breeding stallions must be bloodtyped/DNA genetic tested. The owner or lessee of such stallion shall at his/her own expense, file with the Association a written report of the stallion’s bloodtype/DNA genetic test, obtained from a laboratory approved by the Association and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Association. To request a DNA genetic test kit for your stallion, send the $60 fee to the APHA Field Services Department along with the registration name and number of your stallion. Once a stallion’s bloodtype/DNA genetic test is filed with the Association, it is not necessary to repeat such filing annually, except as required by the Association.

If a stallion’s bloodtype/DNA genetic marker is already on file with an APHA-approved laboratory, it would not be required again if the owner of record gives APHA written permission to obtain the bloodtype/DNA genetic testing results from the appropriate laboratory.

Failure to meet stallion listing, bloodtyping/DNA genetic testing, or stallion breeding report requirements may result in possible disciplinary action (See Rule GR-060.A.).

5. If you do not have a current membership with the Association and wish to take advantage of member rates, you may purchase a membership at this time. A membership is $25 and a junior membership is $12.50. Membership rates will then apply to this transaction and any others postmarked during the membership period. Beginning January 1, 2000, memberships will consist of a 12-month period beginning with the month of the purchase (based on the postmark, postal meters not acceptable), and expiring the last day of the subsequent 12^th month. Multiple year memberships are available. A three year membership for $65, a five year for $100, a lifetime membership for $300, and a lifetime junior membership for $100.
