Basset Hound Babies in Holland!
The litter was produced from cooled semen shipped from California!
Champion Red Ruby von Grunsven (winner of Dutch, German, and Luxemburg championship titles) is proudly owned by Basset Hound judge/veterinarian, Dr. Rudy Smits. When Dr. Smits visited the United States to judge Basset Hounds, he was so impressed with Champion Splash’s The Professor, owned by Jo Ann Nolan, that Dr. Smits decided The Professor was the perfect match for Red Ruby.
Dr. Vanderlip collected and prepared semen from The Professor using ICSB’s special long term survival fresh cooled extender (not frozen!) and shipped it to Holland. Dr. Smits performed the artificial insemination and on October 14, 2008, Champion Red Ruby von Grunsven gave birth to 5 wonderful Basset Hound puppies! Now that’s very cool! |

Labrador Happy Tails!
"Dr. Sharon Vanderlip,
You are absolutely wonderful! Without your assistance we would never have timed this breeding correctly. When it seemed as if we had missed our girl completely you were aware that there was still time…and with your advice we did succeed with this breeding we were attempting and we soon saw that puppies were on the way!
Your reproductive assistance made all the difference in the world!
My girl laid a new set of problems on us when she was in need of your expert services to deliver our new bundles of joy.
We are ever so grateful to you, to Dr. Jack Vanderlip and to your lovely daughter Jacquelynn for your willingness to capably assist us through not only the reproductive process--but for also being there when our girl needed you the most to deliver her babies into the world.
Thank you so much for being our veterinarian! You’re the best!"

Glen of Imaal Terrier Treasures!
When Champion Rainbow Springs Gota Lota Moxie needed assistance with a very long-distance breeding, Dr. Vanderlip was contacted and asked to make it all happen. Only the best was good enough for Moxie, so her owner, Margaret Carty, selected English import Champion Pajantick Sky Masterson at Malsville. This strikingly handsome dog, known as Brando to his friends, is proudly owned by Lora Van Laningham of Fourth Hunt kennels.
Dr. Vanderlip collected, processed, and shipped Brando’s semen for artificial insemination with very exciting results: A litter of five gorgeous Glen of Imaal Terrier treasures!
Inquiries about these extraordinary puppies and their rare breed can be directed to carty@ntelos.net. |

Malinois Marvels!
Pharrar is a gorgeous Malinois imported from Belgium and French Ring trained level II. But for now she is taking a break from competition to care for her beautiful litter of 8 Malinois puppies: 7 males and 1 female, born April 12, 2008. The sire is renowned Belgian import, Yelo du Boscaille, a confident, brave retired police dog, trained as a duel dog. Producing this wonderful, long-awaited litter took time, work, and creativity! Yelo is a senior canine, and like so many older dogs, his fertility is reduced. But Dr. Vanderlip used specialized techniques and extenders (proprietary formulas) to collect, concentrate, and “energize” Yelo’s semen. Dr. Vanderlip then performed the artificial insemination after precisely timing Pharrar’s estrous cycle. The result is 8 exquisite Malinois puppies destined for success in the line of duty and competition. Congratulations proud owner/breeder Debbie Skinner of Les Ombres Valeureux kennels! |

Foreign Affair!
Sebastian is also known as New Zealand Grand Champion and United States Champion Lanascol Gladiator. Sebastian has won nine Best in Shows All Breed and 31 Group One wins. During his stay in the United States, he stopped in to see Dr. Vanderlip for semen collection and freezing. His frozen semen was then flown to Finland to inseminate Irish Setter, Original Cute Creidimor, owned by Pauliina Artiola. The result? A lovely litter of future Irish Setter champions! |

April Fool’s Frozen Jewels!
Champion Libwyre Bells and Whistles (Bella to her friends) was a challenging reproductive case! She put us through our paces monitoring her silent and split estrous cycles, but we caught her at the perfect time! Dr. Vanderlip performed Bella's artificial insemination (non-surgical) using only one dose of ICSB frozen semen from Champion Purston Foxxfyre Artistocrat. Dr. Vanderlip ultrasounded Bella one month later and Bella's secret was revealed—she was very pregnant indeed! Dr. Vanderlip performed Bella's C-section just before midnight on April 1, 2008! Bella and her babies are loved and proudly owned by Bob and Belle Nunley.
Bella's babies are healthy, beautiful, and showring bound!
No fooling! |

Mimi has six new babies!
Anyone who raises English Bulldogs knows that it’s not always easy to get a pregnancy and a healthy litter of these precious cuties! Mimi was bred twice in the past but didn’t get pregnant. Her owners had given up hope of Mimi ever having puppies until their veterinarian referred them to Dr. Vanderlip. Mimi traveled the distance to see Dr. Vanderlip for consultation, help, ovulation timing, and an artificial insemination. Here are the happy results! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Phillips and “Mimi”!

Perfect Parsons puppies!
Before Champion Blossom Valley Calypso Joe “Joey” was exported to Japan, he made a stop at Dr. Vanderlip’s International Canine Semen Bank (ICSB-San Diego). Good thing, too! Because later on Champion Ultra Quest Sky’s the Limit “Shelby” needed to find the perfect match! Shelby was artificially inseminated (AI) by Dr. Vanderlip, using Joey’s frozen semen and a non-surgical AI technique. These four wonderful Parsons Russell Terrier puppies were produced from that breeding! Joey recently sired another litter with semen frozen by Dr. Vanderlip. We will be posting photos of that litter and their happy mother very soon!!

Valentine’s Sweethearts!
CH. Blossom Valley Calypso Joe now lives in Japan, but that doesn’t stop him from continuing to produce beautiful litters in the United States! On February 3, 2008, CH. Blossom Valley Evita gave birth to this lovely trio, sired by “Joey”, by artificial insemination (non-surgical) performed by Dr. Sharon Vanderlip, using only one dose of frozen semen. Dr. Vanderlip collected and froze the semen before Joey’s exportation and monitored Evita’s estrous cycle to time the breeding. Puppies arrived in time for Valentine’s Day! Sweet!

New Year's Eve Ice Follies Collies
Dr. Vanderlip has produced numerous Collie litters from frozen semen, but this New Year’s Eve litter is very special. This litter of five pups, which includes “Nigel”, is the fourth generation of Collies Dr. Vanderlip has produced from frozen semen. That’s right! The puppies, and the puppies’ father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all produced from frozen semen!
To our knowledge, the record, for all breeds, is held by Dr. Vanderlip for producing five direct generations from frozen semen breedings. These were achieved in her own Collies. Some of the semen had been stored more than 14 years. Visit www.rainshadecollies.com to see photos of some of these Collies! |

Kangal Dog: Turkish Treasure
The Kangal Dog is the national dog of Turkey, where they have served as gentle, devoted guardians of flock and family for centuries. This historic breed can be found in large numbers in Turkey, but in the U.S., UKC-registered Kangal Dogs are quite rare. So when the owners of Turkmen Chicek’s Zerrin asked Dr. Vanderlip for assistance, she was happy to help. Dr. Vanderlip timed Zerrin’s breeding and coordinated shipping semen from across the continent and performed the artificial insemination. Two months later, Zerrin’s owners, Michael and Katherine Lambert, were delighted when Zerrin gave birth to a litter of seven healthy Kangal puppies, sired by Sivas Regal’s Vasi. Fortunately, the Lamberts have plenty of space! Kangals can grow to 140 lbs! At one year of age, and now well over 100 pounds, these “puppies” are now doing their jobs guarding flocks, working as therapy dogs, and being exquisite ambassadors of their rare breed.
