I'm really glad to hear of that decision, Painted.
I hope you can understand where we were all coming from.
Lethal white carries a 100% fatality rate, and it's extremely hard on not only the foal, but the mare as well. Lots of them suffer from emotional stress after the loss of a foal.
I'm a bloodline fanatic, too. I've searched high and low for my stallion (finally found him in Minneosta, USA!) and all my mares took me FOREVER to find. Almost got all the bloodlines I want!
So I understand wanting the great bloodlines, but you have to keep in mind at what cost.
I will really cross my fingers for you that he comes back negative!
And as tip, if he comes back negative and you keep him a stallion, be VERY selective about what mares you breed him too. For example, stick to Paints, Reg'd, with great bloodlines and perferrably shown.
This will limit the amount of his bloodlines out there, but raise the cost of his offspring as they'll be shown and used.
