When using cooled shipped semen, my new rule is to ALWAYS do an implant. I have had extremely good success with Transcervicals, but I have had 100% success with implants. I recently did a transcervical with everything perfect...bitch had a litter before using cooled shipped implanted, great reproductive vet that I always use, perfect progesterone numbers and sperm that came in at 95%, she missed. I can't help thinking that if I had implanted her like we did before, I would be raising puppies right now.
