One of my main concerns over the almost 40 years I have spent in the canine reproduction business is, how to continue the program, with the same intense loyalty to our clients that has helped make ICSB what it is today, with over 30 centers in the US and overseas. After all the years it has taken to build this program, I hope to see ICSB continue for the next 40 years with as much energy and commitment as it has seen in its first 40 years.

It is with pride and confidence to know that, I can rely more and more on my son, John, and his wife, Christina, to step in and help take the reins of the ICSB program. For the past 10 years, John has assumed the managerial portion of running the ICSB office, being responsible for the client accounting part of the program as well as overseeing shipping and client information. Christina has worked with me for the past 4 years in learning the laboratory skills that are necessary to be able to operate ICSB Main Office here in Sandy, Oregon as well provide our clients with the very best possible service and skill available here at our laboratory and at the numerous dog shows, workshops and at ICSB new veterinary franchise center training sessions.

I feel very fortunate that John and Christina have joined me in this program and that we can offer our clients a continuing program based on our efforts and results. John and Christina are the second chapter of ICSB, able to offer the most up-to-date procedures and advances in canine reproduction for the next generations to come. I know our clients will enjoy working with John and Christina and that the same loyalty, hard work, service and commitment will continue on at ICSB.
