| Oh please get a new vet! Any vet that encourages someone to breed their dog when you CLEARLY want her spayed, is not a good vet. Breeding is best left to the experienced and educated. If you really want to breed, find a local breeder to mentor you and study study study! Lots of testing and money is involved. Good breeders usually break even or even go into debt to breed properly.

| Invitro fertilization is for breeding purposes, where the females eggs are flushed then mixed with sperm in Petri dish, then reinserted into a female. This is rare in dogs. Maybe your vet meant something else since you are getting your dog spayed. Unless he wants your females eggs to plant in another dog. Which would bring up a lot of questions. |

Glad you will find another vet as this raises lots of questions of his ethics? Make sure when you get her spayed you let him know you do not want her eggs harvested and do not invitro | |

| If you get her spayed, you can't do invitro. Spaying removes her uterus and the horns, which she would need in order to have puppies. IVF is rarely done in dogs. Your vet makes me wonder????

| No, but the vet can flush the eggs during spaying process and place the fertilized eggs in another female which is why I worry about vet ethics? |

Not to mention the surrogate dog would have to have fertility drugs and other drugs to trick her body into not rejecting the blastocysts. I've had IVF 8-9 times, so I'm pretty familiar with the human side of it. Not as sure on the dog side. I do know it's rarely done. AI is the preferred method, but still a dog has to be ready (in heat and ovulating) to properly AI.
