You’re looking at the proud mum of 8 potential detector pups!🐶💕

We've teamed up with the New Zealand Police Detector Dog Breeding Programme and recently Gia gave birth to 5 male and 3 female puppies. 🐾🐾

🐾 Puppy News! 🐾

We’re thrilled to share that Rocky (CH Snowolf Dragon’s Breath) has safely delivered three gorgeous Siberian Husky puppies following her insemination at TCI GlenBred 💙

Sire is NZ CH & NZ NEUT CH Bannerbrite Badge of Honour for Snowolf (Imp AUS) — known to friends as Badger — whose frozen semen was expertly prepared by our past colleagues, originally collected in 2013 and still showing impressive post-thaw performance!

Congratulations on this special litter and on bringing another generation of purpose-bred, healthy, and beautifully bred Siberian Huskies into the world.

🎉 Audit Gold Stars! 🎉

A big shout-out to all the MPI-licenced practices and the veterinarians and support teams who keep New Zealand’s companion-animal exports running smoothly — it takes a lot of effort, precision, and paperwork to meet the standards for exporting dogs, cats, and canine semen to Australia! 🇳🇿✈️🇦🇺

An MPI-licensed veterinary practice is officially approved by New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries to carry out health checks, testing, and certification for the export of dogs, cats and canine semen to Australia, ensuring every animal meets strict biosecurity and welfare standards before travel.

We’re absolutely stoked to receive our latest MPI audit report for the Cats & Dogs to Australia programme — nothing but gold stars 🌟

TCI Veterinary Services (MPI Listing #1256) has now been re-listed through to December 2026, and the feedback from the auditor was wonderful:

“The overall documentation was very well presented, and that reflects your efforts.”

Huge thanks to our amazing TCI team for keeping the compliance wheels turning, and to all our breeder and client partners who help us maintain the highest standards for safe, compliant and stress-free exports.

Here’s to another year of smooth journeys and healthy, happy travellers! 🐾✈️💛

🐾 We had the loveliest visitor today — the wonderful Nina! 💕

She came in for progesterone bloods and was a little unsure at first, but it didn’t take long before we became besties! 🥰

At TCI GlenBred, we always aim to make blood draws as stress-free and positive as possible. That means minimal restraint, calm vibes, and a full smorgasbord of treats to find the perfect motivator. 🍪🐶

By the end of it, Nina was wagging her tail and happy to hang out in our consult room — even posing for a selfie with me! Exactly how we like it! 💖

🧪 Update on Progesterone Results 🐾

If you’re waiting on progesterone results, there’s currently a delay as the Awanui laboratory analyser is awaiting a replacement part, expected to arrive around 10am tomorrow. Once that’s in place, Awanui should be able to process all pending and new samples promptly.

We do have our own in-house analyser available. While it isn’t quite as precise as Awanui’s system, it gives around 90% alignment and is a great option if you need results before the weekend.

👉 If you’ll need progesterone testing done on Saturday, please let us know — we’ll make it happen.

Thanks so much for your understanding and patience while Awanui resolves this issue 💛

🐶 Breeders — your input matters! 🧬

The International Partnership for Dogs (IPFD) and The Dog Wellness Network are running a quick global survey to understand how breeders and dog owners are (or aren’t) using genetic testing.

Your feedback will help shape new tools and resources to make genetic testing more accessible — and support healthier, happier dogs worldwide. 💪🐾

✅ It only takes a couple of minutes:
👉 Take the survey here 👇

The purpose of this survey is to help us better understand why genetic tests (e.g., diseases/traits, parentage ID, breed tests, etc.) are/are not being used by dog owners and breeders. Your input will help us identify breeder/owner needs and priorities and guide the development of resources to impro...

We are beyond thrilled to share the arrival of these very precious pups.

We’ve worked with 12 Gauge Gundogs for several years now and poor Rob has had to jump in the car and drive many, many hours a couple times when the progesterone comes in a little higher than expected!

Stoked to have played a small part of the introduction of these special genetics into New Zealand 🙂 by frozen tci ai @ TCI GlenBred

🐾 Vet Nurse Appreciation Week 🐾

A shout out to Wally — a vet nurse who loves all things reproduction and can (and will) talk about it until the cows come home. She’s the queen of inappropriate jokes, the first to laugh at herself, and proof that a sense of humour is absolutely essential in this job.

And while she’s not technically a vet nurse, Jody definitely deserves a mention too — she’s the one who keeps everything (and everyone) on track, endlessly organised, and somehow makes the chaos run smoothly. We’re surviving this week without her while she’s off enjoying a well-earned mini-break in the South Island… but only just!

Big thanks to you both — the clinic wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining or as efficient without you 💚
