Sperm Banks for Dogs

Monday, June 27, 2005

Yes they do exist, and for several decades too. The North County Times wrote an article about a specific canine sperm bank named "Canine Cryobank" in San Marcos, California. The sperm is stored in a straw, and then kept frozen until its needed. It's a pretty good read if you're interested in learning more.

Carol Bardwick, a co-owner of Canine Cryobank, said...
...many breeders choose to store their dogs' sperm to make the breeding experience less expensive and easier on all parties involved. Breeders can ship the straws instead of their dogs, which is cheaper for the breeders and safer for the animals, she said.
Of course, the article didn't explain how they get sperm out of a dog. The company's website simply says:
Most dogs provide the best collections when teased by an estrous bitch.
I suppose that's all we need to know.
