Anyone use the dog sperm bank?

I've had a lil experience with it and most has not been great. Many times the litters are smaller and if you use frozen semen you are probably throwing your money away if you do vaginal AI. It has an extremely low rate of success. You really should do a surgical AI with frozen. You can do vaginal with fresh chilled with reasonable success. Most vets that do it want to do progesterone tests on the bitch to nail the exact day. If you are lucky you can nail it with one or 2 tests but it can be as many as 4 or 5 at $80 a pop. The collection is not free either and my storage place charges $75 per year up to 30 straws. Surgical AI is Several hundred also. This is one reason there are not more guys doing it.
