Blue Heelers

With Blue heelers that have exceptional characteristics, it is always good to preserve their breeding by choosing a mate that has the same quality. Owners sometimes find problems with this. Either they find a qualified mate but the female cattle dog is not yet ready to be breed or the male/female cattle dog is a problem breeder.

With today's technology, everything is made easier. From communication, travel, and even breeding animals such as cattle dogs - everything seems to be possible. Now, breeders and veterinarians have found Artificial Insemination as a very powerful tool in solving breeding problems for cattle dogs. With artificial insemination, breeding is no longer a problem even with worst situations such as a valuable male cattle dog was injured and can no longer mount a female cattle dog. Artificial insemination can be useful in this kind of situation. Semen can be collected through the valuable male heeler, evaluate it and when the sperm cell seem to be normal, it can be infused into the female's cervix using plastic or glass tube.

The process of artificial insemination can be done now by private individuals who have knowledge and veterinary clinics. If there are owners who want their Blue Heeler dog to be bred by another Blue Heeler but are in different places, they can undergo artificial insemination. Semen that is not ready to be used can be chilled or frozen, so that it can be transferred. However, frozen semen should be used within 24 hours so they should choose a next day delivery. Semen that is frozen in liquid nitrogen canister can be used even after many years. Breeders should expect 65% to 85% success rate compared in natural intercourses that is 90-95% effective.
