When I looked (just now) I saw the results (both negative and carriers) for most of the stallions but there were a couple that had no results listed. Maybe those are the pages that Vineyridge opened.

I know enough German to navigate the DE page; some of them just haven’t been updated yet, it looks like. There were several with no mention.
It’s probably a new field that needs to be added individually to each page. I imagine it might take a few days.
Positive stallions:
Balou Peggio, Chivas, Comte, Don Index, Don Vino, Don Frederico, Don Romanov, Edward, Londonderry, Londontime, Quaterhall, Sarotti Mokka Sahne
The stallions without results are probably not owned by Celle

For a couple, the viewer is directed to the Warendorf website, which as far as I can tell, hasn’t yet published the WFFS status for its horses.
Warendorf published its test results in August:

SES made an announcement today that Schockemoehle will be testing for WFFS before the 2019 breeding season. Fingers crossed this is true - that would be fabulous.
Also, a personal thought: I’m a little snidely satisfied that his “it’s an american problem”/digs about american breeding hysteria clearly didn’t pan out and that the powers that be (economics? common sense? registries? who knows what it was that caused this decision) made Schockemoehle decide that testing was the best course of action to take - better late than never!!

If you look at the Wesfalen/Warendorf stallion register, tests results aren’t on the stallion pages yet that I could find. But I do not read or speak German.
That and… look who are carriers… German and Dutch stallions…

I mean, it was inevitable as warmblood breeding in the US is still in its relative infancy… most horses aren’t more than three or four generations out from “non American” horses. Talk about a short sighted comment from him at the time, given I believe it was shared fairly quickly by researchers that the mutation was more than a century old. :lol: But that all said, if it was a bluff or a ploy to try to quash interest in the issue rather than genuine ignorance, I’m glad it didn’t pan out. Very much hope this announcement ends up being correct.

It might have been the realization that mare owners will be able to tell the public which of the stallions he stands are carriers. Leaving it to others to provide that information makes the Stud look pretty bad.
