Tuff Cat won two firsts and one second in the three go-rounds to capture the stallion class at the 1964 National Championship Show and earn the first APHA registration in 1965. The APHA was created in a merger between the APSHA and the American Paint Quarter Horse Association, which had been created to register non-solid offspring of registered AQHA parents.
