Is it illegal to artificially inseminate a dog?
Breeders should be aware that performing AI on their own and other dogs is illegal for nonveterinarians in some states.

She is most fertile from four days before and three days after ovulation. That is the window we are trying to hit with our AI breeding. This is why we recommend to AI the female every other day to try to time it with her estrus.
Why is AI better than natural breeding?
Possible advantages of synchronization/AI include: Genetic improvement – it can be cheaper to access an outstanding sire via his semen (e.g. $15/straw) vs. natural service (>$5,000/bull). Increased weaning weight – more cows conceiving earlier in the breeding season can result in older and heavier calves at weaning.
