Types
Natural but the dogs
needed some assistance (18%)
32 dogs (72%) managed a natural breeding without help.
9 (18%) needed assistance during breeding the most common reason was the dog was too
short in the leg to mount the bitch or older dogs that required assistance but had bred
naturally before.
4% required a side-by-side ma ng where fresh semen was passed from the dog to the
bitch (no reason was given for this choice of ma ng, though it is assumed a natural ma ng
was not possible)
6% (3 breeding’s) were by AI, though again no reason was given for this, one breeding was
using an American stud dog so it is assumed this dog was not in the country.
