Later <a href=\"\/breeds\/ardennes\">Ardennes<\/a> and <a href=\"\/breeds\/russian-heavy-draft\">Soviet Heavy Draft<\/a> blood was introduced and the resulting animals was classified as the Buohai breed in China.<\/p>\n<p>In 1974 a breed association was formed and the first animals were registered as pureblood under the Buohai name. There is high variety in type due to the addition of various bloodlines, however the association is attempting to correct this and generate a type specific to this breed.<\/p>\n<p>There are also breeding programs attempting to use the Bouhai as a base for a warmblood type, crossing them with German warmblood animals.
