Years ago when I bred naturally, a boy did this when he became sterile. He could no longer tie. Brought them into vet to AI - they collected and nothing at all in the collection.
Because I am into obedience, I have a lot of friends with other breeds. Only the lab breeders have this obsession with AIs. People with other breeds often think the AI thing is ridiculous. Keep an open mind.

I learned many years ago how to do AI's from a Sheltie breeder. They do mostly AIs too. I think you need to keep an open mind about just how many other breeders/breeds do nothing but AI's. Saves a lot of frustration in the end.
The bitch has a one litter naturally, I usually do progesterones but didn't this time around,my bad. I never collected this boy before and he seems to back off if I go too close when he mounts her. I may try to do an AI first though, but not sure he will allow. He sired a litter about a month prior so I'm pretty sure he is ok. He was getting Rimadyl at the time for an ortho injury (not severe just a strain) so not sure if that had something to do with it. He was very eager and didn't give up, just never got a tie.
