A good time ago, I used frozen sperm shipped to me & the vet did the AI we ended with a litter of 4 or 5 (cannot remember without lookin at my files). Then, some months ago my boy Legend's sperm was used. (he has been gone for around 4 years) This was a first litter for the bitch - she whelped 5 pups. So, I have to attest to the belief that AI,s do work if they are done correctly. Just my experience...........
