artificial insemination

How common is the use of AI ?

My female is in heat but the male and her couldnt seem to make a connection , so we took them both to the vet for an AI.

This is her first breeding and the owner of the male talks like its not really uncommon for many pairings to have trouble making the connection .

........... I always thought they could always "get r done "

LOL .............. so has anyone else had the need to do AI instead of natural breeding .

I dont know if I would say it's really uncommon for a natural breeding to occur. I know there are breeders who do AI's because a natural breeding couldn't occur, i.e they had frozen or chilled semen shipped to them. I don't think that AI is uncommon either.

We do AI's with our older males that just don't have the stamina to get r done. But the only thing we would do other than just the AI is to do progesterone test done so we are not wasting money and getting the correct timing so that an AI is successful and we have litters on the ground

I've done all LOL LOL LOL Fresh collected AIs, frozen and fresh chilled (surgically) - got pups from the both dogs on site and the fresh chilled....numbers jumped way too much on the frozen 18 to 40 in less than 48 hours - so no pups...should have done the surgery on that one on Sunday....and would have had a litter I am sure....

We did an AI on the first day of our girl being bred b/c she is very dominate and didn't want our male to mount her, but the 2nd day we finally made them tie. We did both in a 2 day period and she had 11 puppies. A lot of people do AI's, especially if the stud dog is out of state, etc. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

does any1 self AI's or know of a bank in california..I have a All Black Female and would like to breed her with an all Black Male

wolfstraum · 08-11-2011, 08:14 PM

there are plenty of black dogs in CA - and tons of them in shelters on death row....CA is probably at this point one of the worst states in the country for anti breeding laws and dogs being surrendered and euthanized....

I used AI once, with a Champion bitch I had. She was bred while traveling with her handler at a show, and although she was not showing, HE was showing as a special. The only way the owner of the male would consider it was by AI.

We had 6 puppies from the litter, she was inseminated once.

We did AIs on Enzo's last two litters (one female us and one outside female). Progesterone test taken and the labe messed up on pickup, so we got her late. 2 pups. Later that week, did AI on other female, no issue with timing of tests = 12 pups, 9 lived. From healthy 9 to male....
