The second straight premature death of an Uga mascot, this one after serving just six games, has prompted a lot of discussion both inside and outside the Bulldog Nation about what’s wrong with Sonny Seiler’s proud line of all-white English bulldogs.

Puppychase Kennels has developed a very successful shipped semen program over the past few years. We have taken great care to learn the intricacies of semen collection, extension, packaging and shipping.
Semen Collection and A.I. Kit
There is a bit of legwork that must be performed before you can begin shipping your studs’ semen to paying customers. Of course, you will need all the required equipment, but in addition you will need to test each stud’s semen for its ability to withstand cooling and shipping.
Semen Collection Equipment
Collection equipment for canine sperm is relatively simple and can be purchased in prepackaged kits. Typically kits will include a collection cone, one 15cc centrifuge tube, one docking ring (for attaching the end-cone to the centrifuge tube) and one pair of gloves.
Kenney Skim Milk Semen Extender
Extender
Canine semen will not survive cooling and transport if it is not first extended with a nutrient rich media. The most common extender is a skim milk and glucose recipe, which has been used very successfully in both horses and dogs for over 25 years. The Kenney Extender may be mixed, separated into individual 10ml doses, and frozen until ready for use.
Semen Evaluation
It is critical that the semen is evaluated for both motility and concentration each time before it is shipped to your client. Sending poor quality sperm not only wastes your customer’s time and money, but also will reflect negatively on your transported semen program. If you are planning on shipping a lot of semen, the purchase of a microscope may be a wise investment in the long run. For smaller operations, a small portable microscope called the Handycope® is an affordable alternative for making a quick assessment of semen quality.
Performing a Test “Shipment”
For each stud you plan on breeding by transported semen, it is highly recommended that a simulated test shipment be performed. The semen must be collected, extended and packaged just as you would for an actual shipment. The shipping container should then be kept at room temperature for 2 days. At both 24 hours and 48 hours post collection, an aliquot should be removed and the motility checked and compared against the initial motility. (Important Note: It is critical that the semen aliquot being evaluated is warmed to body temperature before analysis for proper motility estimation.)
You may also want to consider taking advantage of the semen evaluation service offered by Hamilton Research. Using a high end computer-assisted semen analyzer, Hamilton Research will provide a detailed motility analysis report, including a live video image, on semen shipped to them in a Rover or Equitainer. The analysis is performed at both 24 hours and 48 hours post collection.
Trucker
Hi Jason & Michelle,
Thought I would send you an updated photo of Trucker (a.k.a. Theodore DOB 5/22/08).
Our experience with purchasing him from you guys was outstanding. I’m not sure if you remember the story. My husband wanted a traveling buddy as he was a truck driver at the time. We found Trucker on your website. We made all the arrangements over the phone and arranged for my husband to pick him up. Jason you met my husband in a Wal-Mart parking lot! (Probably the only time you delivered a puppy to a big rig)!
Trucker then went all over the United States! From the East coast to the West coast. But after the 2nd time home, he knew where he wanted to be (despite being a babe magnet.. All the girls loved him)… Right at home with me… This traveling thing and truck stop food wasn’t good enough! He loves his bed, his home cooked food and playing with the other 3 Rotties!
As you can see, he’s doing well. He is very affectionate and loves all the kisses.. He’s a tough little guy, he doesn’t let the Rotties push him around… But he enjoys resting his head and sleeping on them. Thank you again for producing such fantastic Bulldogs. One day with will get a little girlfriend for Trucker.

We love our bullie Bronson and still do our best to go back to see all of Puppychase’s dawgs. We had the chance to take him over to hang with some of his aunts and some new pups. It was the first time he had seen another bullie since we had picked him up. He had so much fun playing with all of the other dawgs. We plan on getting him another bullie playmate as soon as we can. Great people and great experience. These people truly care about their bullies…. thanks again!
