Estrogen is the hormone that causes the bitch to act receptive.
Estrogen causes the vulvar swelling, the bleeding, and the changes in the vagina that many veterinarians use to do "smears."
In the average bitch, estrogen rises anywhere from 4 to 20 days before ovulation.
Because of this very wide range, estrogen levels are only a very rough estimate of when the bitch will be fertile.
Estrogen plays no actual role in causing ovulation.
LH is luteinizing hormone.
LH actually causes ovulation.
It is normally at very low levels in the blood, then suddenly surges and drops back to near zero again.

We do have the capability of storing semen.
If you are preparing for a frozen surgical breeding go ahead and plan accordingly to have your sample shipped to us.
It is your responsibility to contact the stud owner, and have the semen shipped to our hospital.
We can received shipments M-F.
We are closed on the weekends.
We do have to monitor the female's progesterone levels closely.
We typically like to see the in heat female around Day 5 of her cycle.
We are watching for her initial rise in the progesterone.

Our hospital does offer collection of the stud and overnight shipping of fresh chilled semen.
We prefer that you have an in heat female to use as a "teaser."
We understand that it is not always possible to have one available.
Some times we use a female that is not in heat, and we can swab an estrus scent on her.
We like to collect the male by separating the prostatic fluid from the sperm rich fraction.
This is done carefully during collection.
Once the sample is collected, we evaluate the sample and determine if the sample is okay for shipment.
