Paparazzo is by Pablo, a son of the legendary champion stallion Pilot. Paparazzo was approved in 1997 and was purchased by the National Stud of Neustadt/Dosse.

He scored for his jumping ability also between 8.5 and 10. His talent for the jumper classes became obvious from the beginning. Next to his breeding duties he performed and earned numerous ribbons. Every year he fulfilled his expectations and finished his German show record with an outstanding performance during the CSI in Neustadt/Dosse in 2003, by winning a class in the so-called Youngster Tour (classes for up-coming Grand Prix horses).
Throughout 2007 the achievements of Paparazzo's offspring placed him at the top of USEF's Hunter Breeding Sire List, with a final national ranking in the top two!

Paparazzo's dam sire, Debütant, is an offspring of the Hanoverian D-line. He is by Damokles, who also is the dam sire of the stallion, "Rolls Royce". In Germany he produced ridable horses for both dressage and show jumping.

Debütant's dam sire, Adlerorden traces back to the thoroughbred stallion, Adlerschild XX, who is the dam sire of the 3 time European jumper champion Deister, ridden by Paul Schockemöhle. Adlerorden is also the sire in the third generation of the stallion Sandro Song, who sired the champion stallion Sandro Hit, the world champion of the 5-year old dressage horses 1998.

His offspring are competing around the world in international Grand Prix dressage classes and the biggest Grand Prix jumper classes (Ratina Z, Lectron, Rampal and many others). Raffael's dam sire, Almführer, contains in his pedigree two foundation sires of the very successful jumper breeding program, Feiner Kerl. Feiner Kerl sired Ferdinand, who produced several Olympic horses for the Olympic games in the 1956, 1960 and 1968.
