GlenBred is a unique reproduction referral centre run by Dr Fiona Hollinshead and her team that provides specialist services and technologies.
We have the only registered specialist in small animal reproduction in New Zealand to manage both male and female infertility cases.
We are the only veterinarians in New Zealand performing the non-invasive artificial endoscopically guided intra-uterine transcervical insemination (TCI) technique for use with fresh and frozen-thawed dog semen.
Our state of the art semen freezing techniques and semen storage facility guarantees the infinte survival of your irreplaceable genetic lines.
While specialised techniques are required to work with frozen semen, similar techniques may be applied to breeding dogs of poor fertility to improve chances of pregnancy and litter size.
Utilising advanced techniques and specialist knowledge in canine reproduction to enhance the production of dogs of the future.
Dr Marion Wilson (pictured left) founded "GlenBred" in the 1980s. Marion's impact on canine breeding in New Zealand over the past 20 years is monumental. Furthermore, Marion is internationally recognised for her ground breaking work in the development of the endoscopic transcervical insemination (TCI) technique in the bitch. We are very privelaged at Matamata Veterinary Services that Marion has entrusted us to carry on the high standard of excellence in canine and feline reproduction.
The relocation of GlenBred to Matamata has been followed by development of a new artificial insemination facilitiy, a semen laboratory, extensive database development and the implementation of systems and processes to enhance and develop the services we provide.
With the recent addition of Dr Fiona Hollinshead (Registered Specialist in small animal reproduction) to our team last year, GlenBred is active in the area of canine research, in particular in the study of primary uterine inertia in the bitch and the examination of reprodutive efficiency of greyhounds in New Zealand.
