Bjelkier Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi guys. I'm getting ready to mate one of my girls in a number of months and we will be doing frozen AI (before anyone asks I'm doing an AI becuase the dog isn't in Australia, believe me I would much rather do a natural if I could!). Now my mentor has never done a frozen AI before so I'm looking for a little advice on vets in the Sydney/Canberra area. I've been told the vets at Quakers Hill and Bowral are both good but I would like a little more info from more people before I make a final decision. Has anyone used either vet, were you happy, not happy etc? Any other info anyone could give me about getting frozen AI's done would be more then welcome. And any recomendations of transport companies for the semen would be awesome, thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Rob Zammit in Vineyard is held in high regard and a lot of breeders in Sydney use him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any recomendations of transport companies for the semen would be awesome, thanks :) I have been to both clinics although haven't done frozen AI. They were both easy to work with. I did a fresh AI at QH- they get very busy so unless you are first in there is usually a bit of waiting around until you have seen. Vets were very competent. Bowral- I had Prog tests done. They did well getting blood from my bitch (who knows exactly what a needle is lol), got my results back to me in a timely manner and there was no waiting around.

Alyosha Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Have heard lots of positives about Bowral, haven't used them personally but certainly wouldn't hesitate to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjelkier Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Thank you ladies :) Bowral is looking like the way to go at the moment. I was very happy with the help I recieved and one of the vets was kind enough to give me a ring to explain the process and how they would go about the insemination. Great service so far.

Alyosha Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I remember some old neighbours a few years back that had a racing grey, adored family girl. She had an AI done through Bowral, with all sorts of pregnancy complications that kept comng up, and a large single pup and emergency c-section. They raced her to the Bowral clinic a few times AH and got great service and care. They were more than impressed, she was very precious to them and their pup was lovely... even though he might have been cheaper in gold plate!

espinay2 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I go to Melbourne to Monash. The drive is a pain but I have found them worth it. I haven't used the others to compare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
