Hi Ghillie,

I would obviously like from working stock and seperate from her Sire, Bertrams Prior (AF02901001) and Dam, Coco de Mer (AA02066505)

My only other requirement would for the lines to be as clean as possible, my bitch does have a little American blood in her.

Have you any idea what costs would be involved??

Regards,

Tweed House vets near Leeds are very good at AI/reproduction so you could perhaps contact them.

Wouldn't you need to find a stud dog owner willing to have the semen taken off first?
I sent semen to Norway from Flash a few years back, and used BritBreed Ltd in Dalkeith (At the time they had an excellent reputation with sheep and cattle but dogs were fairly new to them) The vet we had used his own lab bitch as a teaser, and he was very sympathetic to both me and my dog, but I have heard horror stories of some places using electric shock stimulants, so be very careful!

holy crap annie if thats the way they collect semen in the uk i can understand why i hit a brick wall when trying to find a gwp breeder willing to get a stud collected and put on ice to send to new zealand.
collecting semen is simple and bloodly cheap insurance for the future.
i'm surprised the uk breeders haven't seen the benefits of frozen semen,
imagine quality dogs like sharons freddie being able to sire litters ten years after he has died Rolling Eyes

The vet that I know in Cambridge is very well known as an excellent and experienced collector and she also works closely with the KC. Friends of mine have used her without problems.

I take it both of these use teasers? I believe in using the most natural method possible and would not have agreed to Flash being used by ANY other method than this.
