Breeding Page
We are happy to offer some basic services to local breeders.
​
(Please note: we are not imitating or trying to replace your licensed veterinarian, rather offering simple reproduction services)
​
Breeding without proper evaluation, testing or knowledge is like driving blindfolded. It works until it doesn't and when your opportunity to breed only comes around once a year, the last thing you want it to do is miss!
​
Having grown up in the reproduction industry, (A.I. certified) in cattle and horses and over a decade breeding Labradors, I am happy to help others with simple tasks revolving around reproduction.
​
Our most common services are listed below, if you have questions please text, call or email us.

$50 per test
Progesterone Testing: We use an in-house progesterone machine to determine progesterone numbers in ovulating bitches. Test takes about 15 minutes to have results. It is recommended to do multiple tests over the course of a few days in order to establish an accurate baseline for ovulation and proper breeding days.
$35 per screening
Ultrasound screening: Optimal time to check for pregnancy is around 25-35 days post breeding.
$100 per insemination
Artificial Insemination Service: AI service is a fast, simple and safe way to breed when the service male is unavailable or using a male not in the local area. Progesterone timing is required.
$100 per collection and evaluation
Semen Evaluation: Collection and Evaluation is a necessary tool when breeding or housing/standing a Male dog. Without a current semen analysis, breeding and shipping could be a disaster. We recommend evaluation once a year or after any major event. ie- surgery, procedure or out on the show circuit.
$100 for collection and 10 day extender evaluation
Semen Collection and Extending: Collection and Extending semen is a vital tool when shipping or holding semen for breeding. Determining which 'extender' works best for your male is as important as the initial evaluation.
$25 per test when pairing with other services
$35 as a stand alone service
Brucellosis Tests: Brucellosis is an extremely contagious sexually transmitted disease affecting most animals, most commonly dogs, cattle, sheep, swine and other ruminants. A rapid test is necessary and very important with breeding animals.
