Importing A Dog

Importing semen would be OK with breeds that have large litters but with something that might only have 2 or 3 puppies with a good natural mating it's a risky proposition I think.

actually there is no guarantee that you will get a large litter anytime.

So right Rebanne. I imported semen from an American dog 20 years ago. Had enough for 3 breedings. Had no success with 2 of the breedings and 3 pups from the third in a breed that gave me an average of about 8 pups per litter over a period of 30 years or so.

I was also lucky that I was sold the whole ejaculation. From what I can see most dog owners now only sell one breeding or charge extra for more than one

Yep there is no guarantee for any breed. Some people say AI will generally produce smaller litters in any breed, but it's really not something science has proven either way. We did a back to back AI, same bitch and same frozen semen, same vet, exactly the same process - first litter we had 4 the second one we had 10.
