On the North American Stallion directory there are references posted to both the sire line and the dam’s sire line. It is only used as a classification system. It would be more relevant to actually post the dam families, however, which dams are classified as the base of the family is difficult to discover.

I have previously posted about the importance of dam lines in breeding, which outlines some of the important genetics passed on along the dam families.

In an attempt to classify our North American stallions under their traditional dam families, here is a list of the stallion’s mother’s mother’s; the dam line along the bottom of the pedigree that is called the dam family. I have guessed at which dam actually heads up the family based on similar groupings, and I will continue to update this list as I learn who the matriarchs are!
