YAY! The collection clinic will become his second favorite place! LOL Bubba got so he would hop around and whine with excitement when we approached the clinic. I think he fell in love with the technician as well. She sweet talked him and called him her big fluffy bear.

Does collecting semen this way help intact male dogs not be sexually frustrated if they haven't otherwise mated?

I don’t know, but probably not. Just run a female past a male dog and it starts all over again. Somehow I just don’t the thought process would be, “Don’t bother me you gorgeous female in heat dog—I was collected by a veterinarian 8 months ago!”

You could transfer my post about the semen/fertility too if you want since it is pertinent to what Ridgetop was saying...

I asked @Support and @Nifty to transfer pages 551, 552 and 553 to Buford’s thread.
I’m really excited about Buford!

I was curious if it would help in general, not that he would be unbothered by a female in heat. That's just natural. I see a lot of intact dogs around here and I don't understand why. Are that many people just letting their dogs breed? Maybe it's the expense of neutering?
Cesar Milan said to neuter male dogs unless you plan on breeding at least once a year, otherwise it just frustrates the animal. I didn't know if collecting semen would provide the same type of release as a regular mating.
Sorry if this line of questioning is cringe, I'm curious

My dogs are all intact, unless there was a good reason otherwise (i.e. female with pyometra - uterine abscess). I have no problems with males and females living together in the same house. When girls are in season they are separated when it gets close to "time". Of course they are closely monitored. It's been this way since I was a kid. So almost 70 yrs. But then - I do train my dogs and expect them to behave. John Q Public has no clue - or some think they'll make money or get rich quick (all those invent-a-breed-breeders doodles, poos, etc where prices are starting at $3K for a mutt).
Frustration on not breeding -- , never seen it with my dogs or others that work and/or train. That's Cesar projection himself on the dogs.

I brought a puppy home yesterday. Drove to Forney, a Dallas suburb, 3 1/2 hours away, in the rain. AKC registered male Anatolian 3 months old. Breeders said he’s food aggressive. I explained to them that I trained Sheba and Sentry to sit, wait, and not eat until I said Take It. Im sure it...
