What Services do Elite Kennel Fertility Offer?

• Dog Semen Freezing, Storage & Distribution: Using state-of-the-art dog semen freezing technology, the practice preserves valuable genetic material for long-term use. This service ensures the viability of semen samples, making it a key component of advanced dog breeding services.
• Transcervical & Artificial Insemination: To reduce physical strain and improve accuracy, the clinic offers both transcervical and artificial insemination techniques. These methods enable precise semen deposition, contributing to higher conception rates.
• Semen Collection, Storage, Shipping & Assessments: Elite Kennel Fertility provides comprehensive on-site semen collection and shipping services. Each sample undergoes rigorous semen assessments using the latest diagnostic methods, ensuring it meets strict fertility criteria before being used in breeding programs.
• Bitch Progesterone Testing & Ovulation Cytology: Accurate timing is essential for successful breeding. The clinic conducts detailed dog progesterone testing and ovulation cytology to determine the optimal breeding window, thereby enhancing the success rate of both natural mating and artificial insemination.
• Post Castration Semen Harvesting: Post castration epididymal semen harvesting is a pioneering method of semen collection that permits semen extraction where other options don’t allow. This procedure can be used following routine castration or upon sudden, unplanned death of the dog. It is an invaluable service should the latter scenario arise as a last attempt to preserve valuable genetic lines.
• Pregnancy Scanning, Microchipping and Vaccinations: The practice can provide support throughout your bitch’s pregnancy, from insemination through to puppy microchipping, vaccinations and weaning.
• Stud Dog Registry: In addition to fertility services, Elite Kennel Fertility maintains a registry of stud dogs to support superior genetic selection.
• BOAS and Eye Testing: They also offer BOAS testing and regular eye health clinics, ensuring health is monitored in breeds prone to certain genetic problems.
• Technical Expertise and Innovation: With decades of experience in canine assisted reproduction, Elite Kennel Fertility combines research-based methodologies with practical expertise. Their advanced protocols in dog semen freezing, transcervical insemination, and hormone testing are continuously refined to meet the evolving needs of the dog breeding industry. This scientific approach supports consistent, high-quality outcomes for breeders worldwide.
• Genetic Preservation & Cloning: In collaboration with Gemini Genetics, the practice provides Cloning & Genetic Preservation (cryopreservation of tissue samples) and offers introductory consultations on canine cloning. This ensures that elite bloodlines can be perpetuated even in the event of a donor’s untimely loss.
