Our Reproductive Services

• Breeding Management
  Accurate ovulation timing with both on site and send out progesterone testing helps to ensure successful timing for all semen types including fresh, chilled and shipped or frozen semen.
• Infertility Workups
  If conception proves challenging, we work closely with you to identify the underlying factors and design a fertility plan suited to your animal’s specific needs.
• Artificial Insemination (AI) Techniques
  Our reproductive services include various artificial insemination techniques including, Standard artificial insemination, Transcervical artificial insemination (TCI), and Surgical Insemination—safe, effective options designed to support successful breeding, whether pairing across distance or addressing special circumstances. We will discuss each case and situation individually to choose the safest and most effective method for each breeding situation.
• Semen Collection & Shipment
  We collect, visually evaluate, and prepare semen for storage or shipment, following strict quality and safety protocols to ensure viability.
• Pre-Breeding Evaluations and Testing
  We offer comprehensive genetic and orthopedic screening to support informed breeding decisions and promote the health of future litters. Services include genetic testing for heritable diseases, PennHIP evaluations to assess hip laxity and detect early signs of dysplasia, and OFA certifications for hips, elbows, thyroid, cardiac, and more — all designed to ensure the long-term soundness of breeding animals.
• Pregnancy and Dystocia Management
  We provide comprehensive pregnancy management, including ultrasound monitoring, progesterone tracking, and fetal viability assessments, to guide optimal C-section timing, manage high-risk or previous difficult pregnancies, and address any maternal or fetal health concerns before or during whelping.
