Just wondering if anyone - apart from me! - would be interested in this. 

My vet - whose specialism is canine reproduction - has just set up a new practice and I was talking to her about the need for such a centre in this part of the world.  If I want to have semen stored etc, I have to trail all the way to Liverpool, Cambridge or Leeds - not exactly convenient from Devon. 

Would anyone else be likely to use such a facility?

i already use one...ok its a bit of a trip to malvern but not a major one

Oh - I didn't know there was one at Malvern!  Could you let me know some details, Sam?

I'd imagine Sam is referring to HERE   I use their Edinburgh facility (Britbreed) and have several friends who've used their other ones.

They're excellent

yes thats them. John is fantastic

Are they there all the time, Sam, or do they just come down this way to visit? 

That is still a long way fro those in the far South West, it would be quite far just from Bristol.

I think that Overhill kennel in
Bristol is  now involved  in canine reproduction

Just had a quick look at their website - no mention of canine reproduction, but might give them a buzz later after my chores.

i can get to malvern in 2 hours....you just get used to the long distances living down here! However they do ocassionally have sessions at South Molton which is less than an hour away

I was just wondering if there were other people down this way who would be happy to avoid having to travelling so far   My vet is based in Exmouth which is a lot more convenient than Malvern, Bristol or even South Molton for me anyway   But she's not going to go to the expense of setting up if there's not going to be a market - and who can blame her.

depends on whether they have ai facilities.....collection experience, storage facilities and lab and evaluation expertise!!
