two breeding questions.

TriadGSD · 08-11-2011, 05:04 PM

first these are kind of two separate questions i dont want to take up space so i made into one.

first. has anyone heard or freezing a dog sperm and would you have it done?
second: what do Breeders do with left over puppies? do they keep them or give them away?

thought crossed my mind because the Herding instructor i went to couple of weeks ago(bad experience) said she was going to use a dead dogs semen. and she said she breed dogs before and ended up giving the left over litters away.

Yes, you can do that. Often times it results in smaller litters or the females not taking, but there is nothing wrong with it.

What do you mean by the bolded part? Are you referring specifically to litters with frozen semen or in general? I don't see anything wrong with a breeder giving away puppies as long as they are carefully screening homes. I'm assuming they are breeding to be able to pass on the herding genes to future dogs...doesn't sound like she is doing it for money.

I have frozen semen on my Ch. Tag. When he was alive, my home was filled with his half sisters, so no one to breed him to. I froze 8 straws and I am hoping to be able to use them sometime in the future.

I have not given away puppies per say, but I have donated puppies to be service dogs or leader dogs.

TriadGSD · 08-11-2011, 09:21 PM

thats cool you donated them i was thinking thats what Breeders do is donate them for service dogs . that would be the good thing to do.

I think most breeders sell most of their pups to customers. Some may be donated, some kept by the breeder, but most are sold. Though I'm not quite sure what the term "leftover puppy" means....

As far as keeping semen for future use, yes many people do that. We plan to store semen from our younger male, Wulf, for use down the road. All our current females are full or half sisters, so like Daphne's situation with Tag we don't have anyone to breed to him now, and quite possibly won't while he's still alive so will keep his genetics on ice for the future.

With have done collections on our males. Couple of different variables:

1. Analysis and what they are producing on the collection.
2. Thaw rate % from frozen.
etc.

Would one straw be used for one breeding so you'll have 8 different chances to get pups from that sire or does it work another way?

I'll have 8 chances at puppies. I am hoping for just one litter, but i have more chances to get that litter.
