Reproductive Services
At Springfield Veterinary Center, we strive to help you, the breeder, protect the health of your breeding animals and produce the healthiest puppies possible. As such, we require the following in order to provide reproductive services:
- Routine annual examination with your primary care veterinarian within previous 12 months
- Current rabies vaccination (certificate required)
- Heartworm / tick borne disease test required within previous 12 months; recommended to be within 6 months
- Distemper/parvovirus vaccination (within 3 years) or titer (within 1 year) required
- Brucellosis test within 6 months required
Please bring proof of vaccines and required tests to your first appointment. The brucellosis test can be performed at Springfield Veterinary Center, if needed.
Rabies vaccination is legally required by the Commonwealth of Virginia, and may be administered at the start of the bitch’s heat cycle, if necessary. Distemper/parvovirus is a modified-live vaccine and should not be given during the heat cycle or pregnancy. Current vaccination or positive titer for distemper & parvovirus will allow the bitch to produce effective colostrum and provide passive immunity to her puppies. Please ensure that this is up to date prior to breeding.
Heartworm infection is a serious, potentially deadly condition and can cause significant pregnancy complications. Tick-borne diseases are an emerging concern as a possible cause of infertility in dogs. For these reasons, we require that your breeding animals be tested (and treated, if indicated) prior to breeding.
Brucellosis is a disease that causes abortion and infertility. It is spread through natural breeding, artificial insemination, and contact with urine, saliva, and other body fluids from an infected dog. It is recommended to test bitches prior to each breeding and stud dogs every 6 months or prior to each breeding.
Semen Freezing
The following materials must be provided to Springfield Veterinary Center at least 48 hours prior to your semen freezing appointment. If completed materials are not received, your appointment will be rescheduled.
Required documents:
- Rabies certificate (vaccination MUST be current)
- AKC registration certificate (or other registry, as applicable)
- Completed semen storage authorization form (attached)

We recommend bringing in a teaser bitch, even if she is not in heat. A current rabies vaccination certificate is also required for the teaser.
