Breeding services

Due to the current lockdown, I am unable to offer my services. I hope to be able to start up again when restrictions are lifted. Thank you.

As a breeder myself, I know how important a successful mating and a resulting litter is and I have over 18 years experience breeding litters and handling stud dogs, both my own and for other kennels. I am experienced in collecting semen from my boy(s) and shipping chilled semen. I have also completed a comprehensive canine reproduction course at the Canine fertility centre (CPD accredited) and I am fully trained and qualified to perform Ai and semen evaluation. I use the latest technology and premium quality products to ensure the best results and I do not use anything that I wouldn't use on my own dogs. In fact everything I use has been tried and tested on my own dogs. I consider the comfort and well being of the dog and/or the bitch to be the most important thing when carrying out semen collection and AI procedures. My equipment for Ai and semen collection are individually packaged, sterile and are latex free. I can give advice on stud dog fertility and management and I sell various products to assist with this in the online shop. I am not qualified to take blood and I do not offer progesterone testing or ultrasound scanning as I prefer to leave that to the experts but I can recommend people that do.

I offer a mobile service and cover the following areas - Royal Wootton Bassett, Lyneham, Calne, Marlborough, Malmesbury, Swindon and Devizes. I am happy to travel further afield but will have to charge a mileage fee. Prices will be higher for Sunday, Bank holiday, Christmas & New year appointments.

*For mating assistance and Ai - the bitch must be progesterone tested as ready and I recommend that maiden bitches are checked to ensure they do not have a stricture. I keep my schedule clear for several days around the time of the mating / Ai, so please let me know promptly if my services are no longer required - for example if a natural mating has occurred.

*For progesterone testing - I highly recommend using Anne Morley at Matenow for fast and accurate results. I have progesterone testing kits available or they can be ordered on her website - www.caninepregnancyscanning.co.uk. Your vet or vet nurse can draw the blood ad the sample can be posted at any post office.

*For local pregnancy ultrasound scanning - I highly recommend Sarah from Pet Scan & Chip Wiltshire. Excellent service and she is very knowledgeable. Tel: 01793 747566.
