Loki is a pure breed toy poodle and has his pedigree papers available for viewing,

Our stud, Loki, is DNA-tested through Orivet and vet-checked. He’s hypoallergenic, non-shedding, and boasts a friendly, calm nature. Loki’s health, temperament, and experience make him an ideal choice for anyone looking to breed healthy, well-tempered Oodle puppies.

Loki thrives on high protein, premium diet designed to keep him healthy, energetic, and in peak stud condition. His foundation is Royal Canine Poodle adult kibble, tailored for poodles, complemented with fresh protein sources to maintain muscle tone and vitality. To support his reproductive performance, he enjoys sardines in spring water a few times per week. These provide Omega-3s, selenium, zinc and vitamin D, helping maintain sperm quality, motility and overall reproductive health. Every meal is carefully balanced to keep Loki lean, strong, and ready to produce healthy, thriving litters. 

Yes, Loki is a fully proven sire with multiple successful litters on the ground. He has consistently produced healthy, well-tempered puppies. Loki has also undergone a veterinary semen analysis’s which confirmed excellent motility, morphology, and overall semen quality which are key indicators of fertility and reproductive health. These results support his strong success rate in both natural matings and artificial insemination.

The process includes two mating sessions 48 hours apart at our premises. The first session typically occurs on your females first fertile day, often around day 9-14 of her heat cycle. We can do a second session 48 hours later to maximise the chance of fertilisation as your female ovulates.

Yes, we offer artificial insemination at the following clinics:

• Sires on Ice – Richmond  
• Vineyard Veterinary Hospital
• Colyton Vet Hospital

While pregnancy can’t be guaranteed, we offer a free return mating if your female doesn’t fall pregnant. We’ll work closely with you to improve timing or method for the next attempt. A vet note confirming no pregnancy is required to claim the return service.

Mating is usually done at our home, where Loki is comfortable. This often leads to better results. We offer a safe, clean space and allow you to stay during the process if you wish. Artificial insemination takes place at our local vet Sires on Ice Richmond, Vineyard Veterinary Hospital or Colyton Vet Hospital. .

Ensure your girl is in good health, vaccinated, wormed, and ideally progesterone tested for timing. A recent vet check is recommended. She should also be calm and comfortable around other dogs. Please inform us of any health or behavioural concerns before your visit. For hygiene and comfort, the vulva area is recommended to be trimmed or lightly shaved prior to mating for sanitisation purposes. If your dog has been groomed close to the mating date, please don’t apply any perfumes or scented sprays, as strong fragrances can distract stud dog and interfere with natural mating behaviour.

Our fee includes two mating sessions, health documents and pedigree papers, and a free return mating if needed. (conditions apply).

• Natural mating involves direct interaction between the stud and the female dog under supervision.

• Artificial insemination (AI) involves collecting semen from Loki and inserting it into the female at a veterinary clinic. AI is ideal for first-time or nervous females, or when natural mating isn’t physically possible.

Ideally, you should contact us as soon as your female comes into season (starts bleeding). This gives time to:

• Monitor her cycle

• Schedule progesterone testing if needed

• Arrange the best timing for mating or AI

Yes! We can refer you to local vets for progesterone testing, and we’re happy to assist in interpreting results to find the optimal mating window.

While Loki is excellent with natural matings and very driven, a tie depends on the right timing, the female being in her true standing heat, proper positioning, and the mating completing fully. If any of these factors are slightly off on the day, a tie may not occur. 

When this happens, we offer a second mating session within the optimal fertile window and will attempt again. Two mating sessions are included in our stud service. Although a second tie isn’t guaranteed, it is a bonus that may help support pregnancy success and maximise litter potential.

If natural mating is not possible, we can also assist with artificial insemination (AI) through one of our trusted local veterinary clinics to help achieve the best possible outcome.

You’re welcome to stay and observe the session, or wait nearby. We provide a calm, supervised environment to reduce stress for both dogs.
