About ICSB International Canine Semen Bank was founded by Professor Carrol C. Platz, Jr.   ICSB's program is based on techniques developed by Prof. Platz.  Through 28 years of research started at the University of Oregon Medical School, Baylor College of Medicine, Texas A&M University, and continuing at the ICSB laboratories, thousands of puppies have been produced using frozen canine semen. ICSB and associates were first in producing litters registered by the AKC, the American Field, and the National Greyhound Association and assisted in developing the guidelines used by these organizations for registering litters produced from artificial insemination of frozen canine semen. Under Prof. Platz's direction, this research continues and provides the dog breeder with the most successful program available using fresh, fresh chilled, frozen canine semen, and artificial insemination. The ICSB staff includes skilled professionals who are also successful dog breeders and exhibitors. As such, they understand the needs of the dog fancier.
