Do you have problems with breeding dogs? Canine artificial insemination is the only foolproof solution. All dog breeders experience dog mating behavior issues from time to time … In my years as a vet, I’ve seen them all! And you see, home canine artificial insemination is easy.
Here are some common dog reproduction problems that canine artificial insemination helps overcome:
Behavior problems
Behavioral problems are a frequent reason breeders turn to AI. While an experienced stud can often infallibly detect receptivity in female dogs, many, especially young dogs, simply don’t understand it. Often times this is due to past punishment for escalating behavior. And some male dogs simply have a very low sex drive, particularly submissive dogs that are naturally low in the canine social pecking order.
Another common problem is the overexcited stud getting erect before a successful penetration. Being territorial animals, the confidence and, therefore, the sexual behavior of the dog is greater when it is on its own ground. So for natural matings, the bitch must be brought to the male’s house, otherwise her sexual behavior may be inhibited. When this is not possible, AI is an option.
Females can also be aggressive towards the intended parent and not allow breeding, for whatever reason. Often this is simply due to an inappropriate time for mating. It just isn’t ready! Natural encounters with these female dogs can damage a dog’s libido. Similarly, some male dogs are so aggressive that natural mating is not advisable.
The AI also protects the stallion from injuries that can occur if the bitch becomes agitated during a draw.
Protect the dog from infection
For many stallion owners, the decision to perform canine artificial insemination is made exclusively to protect the dog from infection from a bitch.
Physical problems
AI can be used to overcome a significant difference in size between the bitch and the dog.
In the male, AI can overcome weakness or pain when riding due to arthritis, injury, or prostate disease. A dog with a missing limb or a back leg or spine injury may not be able to stand on its butt to tie up bitches. As long as the disability does not reflect a genetic or structural failure, canine artificial insemination can keep this dog in production.
Geographic separation
If the bitch and the desired stud are at some distance from each other, and transporting the bitch to the male is not practical, his semen can be prepared and sent to her.
To cover two bitches at once
The ejaculation, if it is of good quality, can be divided to cover 2 bitches.
Overcome time constraints
Fresh dog semen can last up to 6 days in the bitch. An early AI, shortly before the dog or bitch is physiologically ready to mate, can be used to effectively “cover” the next 3-4 days if other commitments prevent a natural mating during that time.
Similarly, to maximize litter size, many breeders choose to inseminate “one last time” just after the bitch or dog’s sexual interest has passed.
To allow evaluation of semen before reproduction
Breeders who perform canine artificial insemination uniquely find that the opportunity it provides to continually evaluate their stallions’ semen is invaluable in detecting fertility problems before they become severe or cause litter loss.
To increase the confidence of the stallion
A skillfully managed collection can help the dog gain confidence and actually train him for a natural breeding career, rather than tire him too much from failed natural mating attempts and spoil him for natural breeding.
