August has been just the best month! !
It has been 15 years trying to break through the BIG LIE of the polled "purity", and it was not until this very week, the hand-written herd registration of the breeder/owner of Homer Rixey Piella came to me.
Backstory:
Homer Rixey Piella was registered in 1969, the only year DCS did not publish a herdbook, in the A appendix section of the upgrade registry, with registration number A138. Her sire was a crossed bull with no information listed as to breed heritage. They did however issue typed pages of the registrations and information as they would have appeared in the herd book, if printed.
One can imagine everyone did not receive the information.
Homer Rixey Piella was sold. The new owner, re-registered this cow, with a different bull, a bull that was used in the herd of origin for breeding, and a new "regular" registration was entered.
When the pedigree of Saltaire Platinum was entered online, this second and error registration was entered, versus the original correct information.
I had a copy of the DCS registration card which showed the original registration information, the second registration, and then the correction back to the original registration. All parties involved, the breeder, the second owner, DCS personnel, acknowledge the appendix registration to be correct. Legacy prevailed upon DCS to correct the registration. This bull has singularly devastated all other bloodlines in the American herd. For 15 years there has been an ongoing effort to give Dexter owners the correct information, and to prevail upon ADCA to correct the pedigree. ADCA refused for TEN years to acknowledge this bull was upgraded, until 2014, when they compounded the problem by publishing a whitewash article, and a "percentage of purity" which is not accurate. For 15 years there has been a consistent effort to elevate this bull to a purity level he can not obtain, yet breeders and owners, still do NOT have the truth, many purchasing and breeding animals believing they have a degree of purity that does not exist. The simple question to each of them, " Would you have purchased a "registered/pedigreed" Dexter if you knew the pedigree was in error and the animal was a product of upgrading with other breeds"? There are far too many breeders who have been unwitting purchasers of these upgraded polled cattle because of the effort to keep the truth at bay.
CURRENT:
Finally, this week, the original copy of the herd submission by the breeder of Homer Rixey Piella was displayed. Any registry that does not correct the error should be liable to breeders receiving pedigrees that are incorrect. It is way past time to correct that which has repeatedly shown to be an error.
