Yes it is. If the dog is good enough it will produce litters well after it has passed. Many dogs from the past 15-20 years and at least 1 Fc Afc from the 80's is still producing a few litters a year with his frozen semen.

Yes but frozen semen from a dog in his prime can be quite different from a geriatric one.  Not saying the above mentioned dog is a geriatric.   :chuckle:  Our dog Loki has half siblings still being conceived and she was born over ten years ago.

PointNlab, you may be hearing good stuff about Bond from me over on RTF  :chuckle: :chuckle: so far he has more retrieve drive than any puppy I've had and he picked up the sit command the first time out. Walking on a lead is proving to be his least favorite. I'm going through Bill Hillman's puppy program. We'll see what direction I go with his formal training. I'll be looking forward to running some tests with you and your McBunn pup.

I'm a die hard Hillman fan! My first lab was from Cosmo lines and I would give anything to have used that approach on him. Nothing better than running a hard charging fire breather that knows how to sit. If you get to the dry side give me a buzz and we can train.

My 10 year old setter sired a litter of 9,3 years ago,I've known several dogs 14 years old that sired very large litters of more than 12.The frozen deal is that the quality of the spunk to be frozen holds up to the deep freeze and subsequent rethaw.I froze some from my male at 8 years old,He threw 1.3 billion swimmers which looked perfect under the scope pre freeze,post thaw not so good,a bunch of them didn't survive,what should have yeilded 8 breedings netted me 3.The very same day a freind collected a 3 year old gordon setter,he threw 1.2 billion and their outcome was 8 breeding pellets.
Is it common to use males that are 9-10 years old for breeding, or doesn't it matte?

Sounds good Doug. Let me know if you'll be making it to any of the Oregon tests, especially on Sauvie Island. I live about 30 minutes from there and train their on the weekends.

Congrats! Labs are so loyal and friendly for the whole family. They are really bouncy for the first few years as puppies though :IBCOOL:

Hes getting big. can't believe it's only been 3 weeks. Training is going well using Hillmann. Tons of drive still and is sitting very nicely. Walking on a lead is also very easy, he isn't a fighter. He does however like to play keep away, I have to literally run the other way to get him to "chase" me so that i can grab his rope. It's a lot of fun. Also, you can see why we named him "Cruz". He has a white "cross" on his chest. Cruz is spanish for cross. He also has a couple of white toes on his back paws. This way i'll be able to tell him apart from all the other chocolates out there.  :chuckle:

Gotta love seeing them do what they are bred for. Cruz gets introduced to a live chukar today. He was smelling the box last night and went ape $h!t. Should be a good time. I'm setting up the GoPro and hopefully get it all on video.

I am thinking of breeding my blf to a FC/AFC this year. She is by a FC/AFC and out of a MH. I will have both blacks and chocolates in the litter (if I decide to do it). Will be great gun dogs. My female is the coolest dog ever. In fact, she is the new "Lodge Dog" where I work here in Vancouver because of her temperament around people and mellow nature. But get her in the field and around birds and she is a different animal.
