  2. When ready, we will call you to come in the Straws to Paws entrance (towards the back of the building) where only good things happen. Please knock.
  3. We provide a bitch in standing heat and she will be ready. Collection should take only a few minutes.
  4. After collection, you can see the results from our state of the art CASA microscope video monitor (Computer Assisted Semen Analysis).
  5. Afterwards we will take an identification photo for his record.
  6. If you need a DNA test, we can do a free cheek swab for you to mail in to the AKC.
  7. Your part is complete!
  8. The rest of the afternoon, we will process the collection, do a complete motility and morphological evaluation on the fresh sample, evaluate the motility post-thaw, then freeze and store the collection.
  9. A complete analysis will be mailed to you with an inventory and a storage contract.
