I have some DP foundation stallions that I can offer straws from.

I have these boys that I can send you straws from (both foundation and lined!): http://www.huntandjump.com/adv_search.php?status=any&ageg=&agel=&agee=&erag=&eral=&erae=&f_basic=none&f_adv=none&tattoo=&f_limit=25&stallion=1&name=dp&name_lm=like&color=&color_lm=like&bty=1&lined=lined&foundation=1&sire=&dam=&barn=&owner=160524&breeder=&e1=&e2=&a1=&a4=&a2=&a3=&f1=&f2=&p1=&p2=&s1=&s2=&s3=&c1=&c2=&c3=&d1=&d2=&g1=&g2=&ch1=&ch2=&z1=&z2=&sa2=&sa1=&kit1=&kit2=&kit3=&kit4=&kit5=&kit6=&kit7=&kit8=&kit9=&kit10=&sp1=&sp2=&sp3=&pax31=&pax32=&rb1=&rb2=&o1=&o2=&l1=&l2=&ice1=&icei=&ice2=&ice3=&ice4=&ice5=&ice6=&ice7=&ice8=&brindle1=1&brindle2=1&wf1=1&wf2=1&wf3=1&wf4=1&wf5=1&wf6=1

There are also a few boy stallys for sale in that search as well. As far as mares go I don't have any for sale but if your SS is able to I can make some embryo's from some mares with any of my boys and send them over!

I have this 2nd gen foal I just bred, superior to sire, that I'll sell to you for 8k.

Can someone please remind me what DP is? My SS also likes DP. How does it differ from liver chestnut? And is liver chestnut just ee with one or two copies of sooty? Thanks.

This topic from another member questioning DP is very helpful to read if you want more information about DP: http://www.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/comment/15485#Comment_15485

Especially Stone Silo's post that explaines it with pictures is great for explanation :)

In short: DP is short for Dense Pheomelanin. It makes the coat of horses darker. It is best visible on chestnuts, but it can also be visible on bays/browns. It is much harder to tell however if bays/browns have it in my opinion. Whenever a chestnut horse is stysty and has at least one DP the color test will call it a liver chestnut. When a chestnut horse has one sty and is homozygous DP it will be also called a liver chestnut. Knowing if your horse has DP thus is much easier with chestnuts than with bays/browns, but that doesn't mean they can't have DP! (Blacks can carry DP as well ofcourse but that won't be visible at all). A horse can also have DP without any sty genes, it won't be called a liver chestnut with the color test but it still can be a DP horse! The coat from the DP horse without any sty will then look the same as a horse that just has one copy of sty.
So: DP is the gene that makes the horse's red coat darker. In combination with sty it makes the coat even darker, which results in so called liver chestnuts, but also darker bays/browns.

For more information read the topic I posted at the beginning of this post :p

Thank you, but I think I am going to pass. I have a bunch of straws already . I appreciate the offer
