23 May Why are Dogs Artificially Inseminated?
There are several reasons why dog breeders might prefer artificial insemination:
- It enables the use of semen from stud dogs anywhere. This reduces the fees and potential stress associated with transporting dogs for mating purposes.
- If previous mating attempts have been unsuccessful or there are canine fertility issues that prevent the bitch from conceiving naturally, artificial insemination may be the only option.
- Frozen semen allows for the use of ‘superior’ genetic traits from stud dogs who have passed away.
- The spread of sexually transmitted diseases such as Brucellosis, canine herpes virus (CHV), and canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVF) can be slowed down or limited.
- Artificial insemination in dogs can help widen gene pools as genetic traits cease to be limited to specific geographic areas.
