Evaluation of previous infertility problems
If your bitch has ever had a missed breeding, come in and talk to us. We can help to evaluate breeding management and reproductive health of the dogs involved. We have state of the art diagnostic equipment and knowledge available to us, and we can maximize your bitch's future fertility.
It is important to come in well before you expect your girl to come into heat, so that we can establish a time-line for her reproductive cycles, perform any appropriate tests and treat for any problems found prior to her next cycle.
Establish a time-line
In order to properly plan your next breeding, we will help you determine what your girl's expected time-line for estrous cycle timing and management. It is helpful to bring in all of your notes of her previous cycles and litters with dates (if they are available) in order for us to help you prepare for her next litter. Once we have put this information together, we can discuss when her next cycle is expected and optimal ways to manage the cycle and breeding, depending upon the insemination method and sire availability.
Discussion of stud dog selection
Many times, the stud dog of your dreams is older, unavailable, or elsewhere. Talk to us about how to make that "perfect match" happen under these circumstances. We are experienced and knowledgeable about the uses of fresh semen, fresh chilled semen and frozen semen. In addition, we routinely use alternate routes of insemination such as transcervical inseminations and intrauterine inseminations in order to maximize conception rates.
