Frozen Semen AKC Protocol 2012
Many breeders in the USA purchase frozen semen for future use. This protocol is for that situation.
You will need to get a letter of transfer of ownership of the semen from the current dog frozen semen owner. This is not a form letter AKC has, it’s a letter that is written specifically from the dog frozen semen o
wner to you – the letter will state (key word) Transfer of Ownership of Frozen Semen – In this letter you will have the dog name & registration number, and the letter will basically state that the owner has transferred however amount of semen (number of vials) and on the date of collection to you (your name) and the owner will sign this letter. This letter will be given to the facility where you will have the semen stored. My suggestion is to have this letter done in triplicate and notarized, 1 copy to the facility-1 copy for your files-1 copy back to the frozen semen seller.
This facility will then send AKC a collection statement showing your name as being the owner of this particular amount of semen and will AKC will put this collection statement in the dog file and each and every time you send AKC a frozen semen litter application we pull this collection statement to see who the semen owner is and also AKC will subtract the number of breeding units being used for that particular breeding. This letter will authorize you as being the owner of that particular amount of semen to AKC, and you will then be the one to sign the frozen semen litter application that is all needed since this dog have a DNA nothing else is needed.
