Male Fails to Collect
There are times when a male may not successfully collect on the scheduled breeding day. We strongly encourage all owners to have a backup plan in place. This may include:
Identifying an alternate stud male
Being prepared to travel for a natural breeding
Adjusting timing if clinically appropriate
All parties (stud owner and female owner) should discuss this possibility in advance and agree on contingency options prior to the scheduled breeding date.
Semen Quality Upon Arrival
Despite proper collection techniques, advanced evaluation (including computerized motility analysis when applicable), and the use of high-quality extenders, semen may occasionally arrive with poor motility or be non-viable.
We recommend that stud and female owners discuss this possibility beforehand and establish a clear plan should semen quality be compromised.
Doylestown Animal Medical Clinic cannot be held responsible for the condition of semen once it leaves our facility. We do not have control over shipping conditions, temperature fluctuations, courier handling, or management once the sample is transferred to another facility or individual.
