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.
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
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.
Sometimes dogs don’t tie due to stress, inexperience, or timing issues. If this happens:
- We’ll attempt again during the second session
If natural mating still isn’t successful, we can assist with AI at one of our local vets.
You’re welcome to stay and observe the session, or wait nearby. We provide a calm, supervised environment to reduce stress for both dogs.
