Validates_associated trouble

Hello,

I need to modelate a genealogical tree with:
animal,Dam(Mother) and Sire(Father)

the Dam and Sire are Animals then i modelate this:

class Animal < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :sire
  belongs_to :dam
  validates_associated :sire, :dam
end

class Sire < Animal
  has_many :animals
end

class Dam < Animal
  has_many :animals
end

then when i save a new animal the validate doesnt work like this:

i have the table Animals

ID, Name Father MOther
1 A - -
2 B - -

when I insert a new record like this

insert(3,C,1,2) its ok!
insert(3,C,5,7) its ok too, (the validates is doesnt work)

how can i solve this??

Try the Rails mailing list [http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails\] for this.

Also, I'm so ripping off the word "modelate".
