The KFPS has decided to use DNA testing to verify the lineage of all twenty foals born in 2009 that were registered as having been sired by Rypke 321. Random tests routinely conducted by the KFPS have shown that some of these foals are not sired by this stallion. By now, the sire of these foals has been identified. Since this stallion was not approved for breeding, these foals will be registered in Bijboek II. Foals born in 2010 and registered as having been sired by Rypke 321 will also be tested. For the time being, it is assumed that nothing is wrong with the lineage of offspring foaled before 2009 and registered as having been sired by Rypke 321. To rule out this possibility, random testing will be conducted among offspring registered in this stallion’s name that were foaled in previous years. The KFPS has already reported this matter to the studbook’s disciplinary committee. | |
