Täysiverisissä

Täysiverisissä is a Finnish term that translates to "thoroughbred" or "purebred" and is commonly used in the context of animals, particularly horses and dogs. It signifies an animal whose lineage is known and documented, typically through a studbook or registry, and that adheres to the standards of a specific breed. The concept is crucial for maintaining breed characteristics, ensuring genetic purity, and for purposes such as selective breeding, performance competitions, and official recognition of pedigree.

In horse breeding, täysiverinen specifically refers to Arabian horses and, more broadly, to breeds developed for racing, such as the Thoroughbred. These animals are bred for specific traits like speed, stamina, and temperament, and their pedigrees are meticulously recorded. For dogs, täysiverinen indicates a purebred animal registered with a kennel club, meeting the breed's established physical and temperamental standards. This ensures that the offspring are expected to exhibit the characteristic traits of their breed. The term implies a commitment to preserving the integrity and quality of a particular breed through controlled breeding practices.
