who has a stud dog worth freezing semen on?

[LR Patch]

#1 great question Xdawg ! I was going to ask the very same thing. Can anyone answer this ?

[LR Patch]

I called AKC,heres what they said. Collection must be done by a vet that they have certified.Then you and the vet must register the collected sieman with AKC. The vet that does the insimanation fills out some paperwork (then sent to AKC) at time of insimanation and they doing some checking,I guess and decide on litter reg. If the seiman is reg with them,collected by a vet certified by them it makes on difference who owns the male at time of whelp.

question...

If you keep sperm from him and sell him.... wouldn't you have to have the new owner sign off on the breeding... since, at the time of breeding your name wouldn't be on the dogs certificate?

No. This is one of the GREAT reasons to freeze a dogs sperm...the sperm belongs to you forever! After you collect the semen you can sell the dog and not have to feed/house/ and provide for him anymore....but still "use" him down the line any old time you want.

And you can freeze and store as much as you want and usually it only costs about $75.00 a year to keep it all (for the vet to store it for you in liquid nitrogen). That sperm will belong to me forever and I can use it on any bitch I want, anytime I want, because it belongs to me!

You can use some now...and still keep some for later....you can store as much as you can afford to collect before you sell him!

You can also sell the sperm if you decide too....or GIVE IT AWAY.... Cuz it is YOURS to do whatever you want with

I had someone tell me once. " If we as beaglers are bettering the breed why would you want to go back and breed to dogs of past?"

I dont disagree with storing semen out of great producers, but what do you all think of that quote?

Mr. Glomski,
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I can't agree with who ever made the statement above. Do you believe Ruth, Gerhig, Mays and Mantle, could play in the big leauges today ? Could Jim Brown Play in the NFL Today ? You get my point, Great dogs and reproducers of 40&50 years ago, are every bit as good if not better then dogs running today.
Let me give this one man's opinion (mine). I have owned, raised,trained, and hunted Beagles for 50 plus years. However, I have only been involved Beagle field trials the last three years. I have tried many formats, including AKC SPO, UBGF, ARHA --PP & LP, and UKC. I have attended over 100 field trials , a small number compared to most trialers. What I like do when going out on a cast and watching the hounds work, is say to myself which dog would i like most to hunt with. I have found that very few hounds that consistently run in trials, could be gunned over or hunted. In all honesty, I can count on one hand the number of dogs I would have purchased if they had been for sale, to use as a gun dog.
My conclusion, after just three short years on the trial circuit , is that Field Trials and field trial bred hounds have ruined true gun dogs and true gun dog breeding. The sad thing is, the young people that are breeding these babblers, automatic strike dogs,and swingers, don't know what a rabbit hound is, they actually believe they are improving the breed.

Just one man's opinion

i use Galaxy Genestics in coloubus ohio

they charge 170 percollection and 20 a year for holding your seamen

the important thing is too get there seamen froze before they get over 5 years old

i usually get around a dozen straws or more each collection

Glomski,

I've heard the same statement. And this guy has a huge "line breeding program" doesn't he.

I believe that if we as beagle breeders would inbreed our best stock and eliminate the carriers of bad genes, we could create super hounds with fewer faults. BUT, too many people are outcrossing and the same recessive genes are running rampid amidst the beagling population.

So, yes i would breed back to an excelllent individual as long as the female bred was excellent too!

Good Question,
