Ibikus - Donauwind; how close is too close? « on: May 17, 2003, 07:15:36 AM » I have a question for folks out there-- I have a mare by Maifeuer (who goes to Ibikus - Impuls - Donauwind) and have been looking at stallions.  Of course, I always have to look at the new boy on the block, Fandango : ) Would breeding to a stallion that also goes to Ibikus - Donauwind be too closely related?  What were traits where each stallion known to pass along (since I'd be "doubling up" on them)?   Thanks!!
