In detail

What it is 1 of 3

Timing is most of the job.

Getting a mating right depends on knowing precisely where in the cycle a bitch is, which is a laboratory question rather than a guess.

Planned well ahead, not managed in a panic.

Most of the work happens before mating. Come and talk to us early and the rest of the process becomes far less eventful.

  • Pre-breeding health and screening discussion
  • Progesterone timing across the cycle
  • Insemination or mating planned to that timing
  • Pregnancy scan, then whelping plan
How we approach it 3 of 3

Welfare of the bitch comes first.

We will raise breed-specific risks honestly, including when we think a mating should not go ahead.
