As a stud owner, bile acids should have been performed on your stud. As well as the female. However, it does not prove that you stud is not a carrier (no DNA marker as yet). If both have tested to be without LS, how can it be proven which was the producer? Unfortunately, when breeding it's all in how the genetics shake up. The other sad thing is if anything goes wrong the stud is always the blame.
