We are so blessed to have access to the best care when it comes to artificially inseminating our girls. Prof. Carrol C. Platz Jr. and his staff of the International Canine Semen Bank (ICSB) in Boring, OR. is the only one I trust for our breedings. They are so kind and knowledgeable and will come in even on Sundays if we need them to. I believe that our breeding program wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for ICSB sharing their knowledge and experience with us.

A little bit about ICSB and Prof. Platz, through Professor Platz's 35 years of research at the University of Oregon Medical School, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M University and continuing in the ICSB laboratory, they have produced thousands of puppies using fresh frozen canine semen. ICSB and associates were first in producing litters registered by the AKC, The American Field Dog Association and the National Greyhound Association, and assisted in developing the guidelines used by these organizations for registering litters produced from frozen semen. They have produced litters from frozen semen that had been stored for 34 years prior to thawing and insemination at ICSB. 

Under Professor Platz's direction, this research continues and provides the dog breeder with the most successful program available using fresh, fresh chilled and frozen canine semen and artificial insemination using non-surgical and surgical procedures.
