Congratulations on your Chase baby! I have a tri bitch that would always go
nuts when she saw him, she had a major "crush" on him. He's a lovely dog.

We had a discussion several weeks back about chilled semen breedings. I
wanted to announce that I did have some (moderate) success with my own try
at chilled. This morning I had a *litter* of one puppy born, a b/t female.
Mom is a lightly marked blenheim, dad a b/t--dominant for wholecolor, but
not for black. Puppy has only the tiniest bit of white on the chest--which
will positively disappear, and a tiny dot on the chin--so essentially she
will not be mismarked at maturity to any noticeable extent. She was 9
ounces
at birth, very fat, healthy and vigorous. Now to hope she turns out typey
and structurally nice!
Dad is CKCSC and AKC Ch. Falling Springs the Chairman--still MVD clear past
age 5.
I think chilled can be successful especially if certain things are done. I
think it is important to try to get the semen collected, shipped and
inseminated the same day and I think it is important to imseminate any way
other than vaginally. Neither was done with this litter and we still had
success--but I think the success rate and litter size would be dramatically
improved with shorter times between collection and insemination and making
it as easy as possible for the sperm to meet the egg. In this breed, it
seems nearly all the really good success stories come when the semen is
inseminated the day it is collected and especially when inseminated other
than vaginally. When imseminating with chilled semen, it just might be a
better idea to spend your money doing a single surgical A.I. rather than
doing 2 chilled shipments and vaginal inseminations.
