🎉 Frozen in 1993… and now three puppies on the ground in 2026! 🎉

Congratulations to Gladys (CH Esorchows Put Ur Glad Rags On) and her owner Mark Pugin on the successful arrival of 2 girls and 1 boy following trans-cervical insemination using frozen semen from CH Mr Wu of Omeishan.

What makes this litter truly remarkable is that the semen was collected and frozen way back in August 1993 — over 32 years ago! 🤯

To maximise our chances of success, we performed two TCIs, and we’re delighted to say it paid off. This is a fantastic example of the power of reproductive technology to preserve valuable genetics for future generations.

These puppies represent an incredible addition to the Chow Chow gene pool, bringing historic bloodlines back into the breed and helping to maintain genetic diversity for the future.

A huge congratulations to everyone involved in making this very special litter possible. ❤️🐾

🐶 CALL FOR FEMALE PUPPY BLOOD SAMPLES 🩸

TCI GlenBred is helping support development of a new hormone test for female dogs, similar to the NeuterReady test currently available for males https://neuterready.com/

Researchers are currently looking for blood samples from female puppies to help build an initial population data set for this exciting project. Samples will contribute towards development and validation of the test through the University of Otago ethics process.

✅ No cost to participating clients
✅ Samples to be collected by a veterinary professional
✅ Breed and age of puppy required (individual dog identification not needed)

If you are an owner, or a breeder who may be interested in contributing with access to suitable puppies, please get in touch with us via PM or email [email protected].

We are excited to help support research and development in this space and would love to hear from anyone keen to be involved 🧬🐾

Wondering when to neuter your dog? NeuterReady’s vet-backed test identifies the perfect timing for health, behaviour, and a longer, happier life. Enquire now.

This has been a MASSIVE amount of work, that I’m pretty chuffed to say I had a rather large part of (with my NZVA CAV hat on!)

Brings sterilisation recommendations up with evidence based opinion rather than a one-size-fits all approach.

Big news - NZVA's new Dog and Cat Sterilisation Guidelines are officially live! ✂️🐾

This has been a huge collaborative effort, bringing together evidence-based recommendations, practical guidance, and plenty of thoughtful discussion along the way. A massive thank you to everyone involved in getting this across the finish line.

You can now access the guidelines on our website and explore the latest recommendations around canine and feline sterilisation (de-sexing) in New Zealand veterinary practice.
