Successful dog breeding has always been dependant on the knowledge and skill of the breeder - science can now assist.
Whilst the bitch will often stand for the dog for several days when she has come into season, her actual fertile period when conception is possible may last for only one of those days. The cells lining the vagina and cervix of the bitch change shape and characteristics at this most fertile time, and these changes are easily seen under the microscope

The kit contains everything you need to carry out the swab tests on the bitch and also a sperm count on the dog. Full instructions are included with examples of what you need to look for.
