Semen freezing is done on Monday through Friday before 11 a.m.  This process requires several hours to complete.  However, the dog is required to be present for the first 45 minutes for paperwork and semen collection.  Semen quality is affected by dogs age and health condition, it can also be enhanced by presence of a bitch in heat.  Following the freezing process we will thaw one straw and evaluate the success of the freezing.  We will report to you the number of straws, quality following thaw and equate that to the number of breedings possible.  Limited semen storage is available at the clinic.  Excess semen is shipped to Synbiotics in California.  You will be billed annually for storage costs.
