angelsun Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Friend of mine had semen relocated and was not informed and found out by ACCIDENT where it was....apparently the semen had been moved for some time....and yes we were told that GT really doesn't give a shit....why take over a business that deals in semen storage and services if this were the case? (I miss ICSB services!! and wish I could win the lottery and get this going for us) I'm SO glad I was dragging my heels about moving over my shipment from Spain! I've looked into local storage (much cheaper and just exactly the same enviroment) and will be sourcing out a competant vet when it comes time to use it.....such a shame that suddenly we breeders are dragged backwards. We have fantastic technology to use to breed with, in a place where importing is SO costly due to quarantine rules....and now we're being held back again....very frustrating!

Libertybrook Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 ok then ......so is Frozen Puppies NSW up on the Central Coast still going ?? or has it or will be closing its doors too ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 My vague understanding is that FP at Calga is still operating but under a new name ? don't quote me on that, its only what I've heard. We are still hopeful ours will be found, the new facility are doing a stocktake of tank contents and documentation tomorrow. I just want ours and other people's irreplaceable breeding material to be safely located in good condition. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry's an excellant vet, As an aside I thought he'd moved on from Morten Greencross to Springfield Lakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Thanks Sandra :-) I think he's dividing his time between his own facility, Greencross and the Lakes - high demand !!! Yes....VERY relieved ! fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Frozen Puppies at Calga on the central coast is still going. It is now opperating as Rocky Ridge Canine Breeding Facility. The second ph number on the FP website works. I am going tomorrow to drop a bitch off Rocky Ridge have not taken over, they have always been there, since before Frozen Puppies started. Their facility is in the same building at Calga, but you need to arrange to have the semen shifted from the Frozen Puppies tank to the Rocky Ridge one, with the appropriate paper work, if you want to change to Rocky Ridge for storage. They are two different companies that just happen to share the same building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mild moment of panic when I tried the first phone number the other day and it didn't work, but as Shantiah said you can get through on the 2nd one. They sound like they are still up and going - fingers crossed it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoiboy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) Up to now I have resisted joining in this thread. I to am affected by the *gtg* debarcal. I am extreamly lucky in that my semen was stored at Calga, so stays with Rocky Ridge Cheers Linda Edit to romove some content Edited August 25, 2010 by zoiboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 (edited) aaahhhh...the 'personal leave taking' !!! funny how many emails were coming back from gt with the 'I'm on leave' tag once I began to question where my semen was ! and playing 'phone tag' with people who never got back to me too ! I would have joined you in a heartbeat regarding the class action, but luckily for me, mine has finally been located and hopefully documention on its way from the new QLD facility. I hope you have a successful outcome, I was too stunned to even become angry with gt at their lack of support/service. But there absolutley needs to be some kind of consequences for their cavalier attitude to priceless breeding material. all fingers crossed for you, I'm so glad your imported semen can be replaced at this stage. My heart goes out to those who have permanently lost their breeding future :-( fifi edited to add stuff ! Edited August 22, 2010 by fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Hi Zoi, I've had some correspondence with them over the past couple of days, but regarding my semen in QLD. I don't have any in transit through FP/GT from overseas at present. fifi Edited August 25, 2010 by fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoiboy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 You know what I find interesting, the fact that I post the message above and within 24 hours I get an email from Gt to ask if I wish to make alternative arrangments for the collection. Now to start new research. Cheers Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
