The dams are only half sisters if they share the same mother. If they share the same father, no one will refer to them as siblings. You could say they were bred on the same cross.Honeymoon wrote:They have the same father and the mothers are halfsisters....so in Germany we call that 3/4 sister. Maybe in the US you have other words for that. Sorry....
Bullet Train and Frankel are 3/4 brothers because they share the same dam and their sires are father & son.
If you look at the pedigrees of Paynter and Oxbow, although they share the same sire and their dams are full sisters, they're not called brothers.
