Breeding problems and Caesarean sections. I often hear, that without the intervention of humans a breed like the Bulldog would have died out. I think this statement is probably correct. That is why I find it so rewarding to work to preserve this unique canine for future generations. The Bulldog boys are often not known to be hot, passionate lovers, rather slobs, who fall asleep on the job.
Artificial insemination is used frequently.
Collection of semen with a soft, latex artificial vagina is easy. Timing of the insemination is of paramount importance. I like to do an ultrasound to check for pregnancy 28-32 days after insemination. I prefer to perform elective Caesarean sections, rather than to operate in an emergency.
