Story

We perform the non-invasive artificial endoscopically guided intra-uterine transcervical insemination ('TCI') technique for use with frozen-thawed canine semen but also in certain cases we use it with chilled and fresh semen.
Our state of the art semen freezing techniques and semen storage facility guarantees the infinite survival of your irreplaceable genetic lines.
While specialised techniques are required to work with frozen semen, similar techniques may be applied to breeding dogs of poor fertility to improve chances of pregnancy and litter size.
We have specialised equipment that is used to ensure optimum semen quality and pregnancy rates. This includes the latest endoscopic equipment, specialised AI canine AI catheters, incubators, water baths, warm stage microscope, DIC with a large screen monitor for clients to see images of their dogs semen and bitches vaginal cells as well as video equipment with DVD recording.
