Improve International has launched a two-day course to give practitioners with an interest in small animal reproduction an understanding of the clinical investigation of infertility in breeding dogs and bitches.

The course is led by Gary England, Professor of Comparative Veterinary Reproduction, University of Nottingham. Gary is an RCVS and European College of Animal Reproduction recognised Specialist in Veterinary Reproduction. 

Improve says the course has been developed to address a growing interest among first opinion practitioners in developing their knowledge and skills in canine reproduction, so as to provide a higher level of service to their clients and to encourage responsible breeding. 

The course will take place on 28 and 29 September at the Guide Dogs National Breeding Centre in Warwickshire.

David Babington MRCVS, Managing Director of Improve International, said: "It's unusual to find courses covering this topical subject which also include practical components. We have constructed the programme to ensure that it provides a balance between small group presentations and practical sessions with plenty of time for discussion and hands-on practice, enabling attendees to implement their new skills straight away."
