Our DVD shows how to collect a male for artificial insemination.

1. The equipment needed to so an artificial insemination
2. How to look at and read vaginal smears in your kennel
3. How to collect a stud dog
4. How to handle the semen once it has been collected
5. How to insert the catheter
6. How to inseminate the female
7. How to handle the female after the insemination
8. How to clean and sterilize the insemination equipment

(Step 8 is not necessary with Leerburg AI Kits)

Our DVD shows how we insert a catheter into the female and then inseminate her.

This photo shows a female being Artificially inseminated

This photo shows a female that has just been artificially inseminated

The equipment in these kits is better than the equipment we used when we produced our DVD teaching people how to do artificial inseminations. The equipment in our AI kits are sterile and disposable. It's designed to be used one time and thrown away.

Before we had this disposable equipment we used to have to clean and sterilize the sheaths, test tubes and insemination tubes after an AI was done. While I did this for 20 years there was always the risk of an infection. The last place you want an infection is in the uterus of your breeding female.

So while the sheaths in these kits are a lot thinner than those used in my DVD, they are meant to be tossed out after one use. On a 2 AI kit we supply 4 sheaths, on a 3 AI kit we supply 6 sheaths so if you tear one you have another.

Hi, the longer pipette was successful. Our dog Tessa just had a beautiful litter of 4 puppies born May 6, 2011. Attached is a picture. We highly recommend the large AI kit and the video that shows how to use it.

Thanks!

Hello,

Just wanted to let you know we just whelped 8 Sheltie puppies, thanks to your AI DVD as well as the Whelping Puppied DVD. Everything went smoothly. I really appreciated all the great information. I must say that it was a bit scary at times. I never was able to count the placentas they were fast and furious. We did have one puppy born dead, felt just horible about the poor little thing. It looked perfect, must have died on the way out somehow. It was about twice the size as the others, and she had a bit of trouble pushing it out. The portion of the DVD with the dead puppy was helpful, It made us feel like we at least knew what it would look like when one dies. We tried CPR and everything, just wasn't meant to be. Thanks again!!

Take Good Care,
Shelley

I had purchased your AI kit about 1 month ago, and I am proud to say that we had success and are expecting the litter end of June!!!!! I am so glad we got the DVD with the order. It was very informative and helpful. I'd recommend it to all getting the AI kits. This was our first time doing it this way and are pleased with the results. Now we are just hoping for a good healthy litter.....

Thanks so much,
Cindy
