Paintaloosa?

I've had a vet say he is a paint/appaloosa mix, another say he is just paint...I know a genetic sample will give me the real answer, just wondering what everyone thinks. I think he is mainly paint with some appaloosa in there. He definately has red roan in there too. I love how different his coat is. He doesn't have molted skin or vertically striped hooves like an appy but has appy spots. What are your thoughts?

^^Agreed. He doesn't have the striped hooves because I bet he has white markings on all 4 legs. Not all appys have mottled skin either, but the combination of the odd roaning on his colored spots (looks like varnish roan to me) and the random spots of color on the rest of his body absolutely scream pintaloosa to me.

He looks to be a Pintaloosa to me...has the typical Appy-in-the-rear, Paint-in-the-front markings.

There is no test available yet to determine breed that I am aware of, although an LP test should soon be available commercially...

Old Fred : Sire & dam were QH there was a Standardbred mare as a Grand Dam on the Dam's side.
I believe any breeding from the 1890's has long been bred out of the breed.
I also believe the first 3 generations is all that counts, any thing beyond that is most likely been bred out............

I worked at a barn back in 09 and they had 2 pintoloosas there. I wish I could find some pictures of them. The gelding had paint markings with a blanket on his rump and the little mare had spots of spots . . . the little mare was kinda cool looking but boy could she be a diva, and not in the good way
