If you are interested in ordering doses from the Landgestut Celle for 2023, please read through the following information. Please contact Greta Haupt (haupt.greta@gmail.com) with any questions regarding placing an order with the CHS.

 

The Canadian Hanoverian Society is the exclusive distributor in Canada for frozen semen available for export by the Celle National State Stud (Landgestüt Celle).  If you intend to order frozen semen from Celle please follow the instructions below and make sure that your order form and payment is received by no later than January 25, 2023.    

 

A price list of for the Celle stallions available to us as frozen semen is now available on the CHS Website.  (www.canadianhanoverian.com). This price list is posted under the “Ordering Frozen” heading on the website, and is in Canadian dollars, with all payments due in Canadian dollars.

 

 Members of the Canadian Hanoverian Society, the American Hanoverian Society and the Canadian Warmblood Breeders Association receive a 20% discount from our list price. Prior to January 27th the price list shown on the CHS website will include the complete list of stallions available for Export from Celle, as well as their prices in Canadian dollars. After January 27, 2023 orders will only be filled from an inventory of selected stallions that the CHS has on hand, and therefore after January 27th, the price list will be updated to show only those stallions available in our club inventory. When ordering, also keep in mind that our annual shipment from Germany typically arrives to Canada in late March/early April; if you need your doses prior to this you will also need to order only from our inventory.  Please note the price list for doses in club inventory is subject to change, as doses kept in inventory are still the property of the Landgestut and our prices in Canadian dollars are updated based on changes to their pricing.

 

Also under the “Ordering Frozen” tab is the 2023 order form, which we ask you to complete and send in, either by mail or email.

 The order will then be placed with Celle, we arrange an Import Permit with CFIA for the shipment, and dry shippers are sent to the State Stud.  The shipment should arrive and, once cleared by CFIA, be available by late March or early April. Once you have been notified that the shipment has been cleared, we ask that you pick-up or arrange to have your order shipped within 30 days.    

 

We use Dr. Claire Plante DVM to store and ship the semen.  Her address is: 7666 – 8th Line, Nichol Township, Guelph, Ontario N1H 6J2, tel (519) 820-3999.  *Please note: The shipping/handling charge per dose, as seen on the order form, assists in paying for all the costs to get your semen order into storage at Dr. Plante’s facility (Shipping from Germany, import permits, insurance etc) as well as her handling fee to pack the semen when shipping it on to you, so long as Dr. Plante has more than 48 hours’ notice of shipping (If shipping is requested with less than 48 hours’ notice an extra fee of $100.00 will be billed by Dr. Plante.  As well, if Dr. Plante has to charge a dry shipper the cost is $75.00) The shipping/handling fee does not  cover the shipping costs of FedEx or Purolator to ship the semen to you from Dr. Plante. All FedEx and Purolator costs associated with shipping  your dry shipper to  and from Dr. Plante’s Facility are covered by you as the buyer of the doses. If you know of someone else in your area purchasing doses with us, please note this on your order form so we can ship them together, or if we see other orders coming from a similar location we will contact you to see if the doses could be shipped  together in an effort to assist with lowering the shipping cost for you

.   

 

When you have been notified that the shipment has been cleared by CFIA, you will have to arrange for your dry shipper to be sent to Dr. Plante ( we recommend that FedEx be used) or  you can also arrange to personally take a dry shipper to Dr. Plante.  The club also has two dry shippers and these may be rented at $50 for up to two weeks use, this does not include any courier costs for transportation or charging the dry shipper.  If you would like to rent a dry shipper contact Marjorie Haus (r_mhaus@xplornet.com).
