I've done breedings with fresh chilled semen on three occasions. All three times were sent by Katina Childers of Tree Rizin' Redbones - two from their stud Razor and one from Ruger. I believe in all instances they were collected by Nevergone service, can't remember the guy's name or where he was out of. On all three occasions we didn't do blood tests but relied on timing from first day of bleed, when the bitch stood for a teaser stud, and the appearance of the cells on a vaginal smear. The first breeding we got 12 pups - wow! Second breeding was tricky because her optimal time fell over a weekend when it was difficult to get semen shipped, we bred her outside of what we felt was optimal and got 4 pups. The third breeding we did I got 8 pups. so i'd say that was a good success rate. we did vaginal insemination all three times.
