🐾 We’re absolutely thrilled to see these beautiful pups at EKF! 🥰
They’re extra special to us, not only are they a vulnerable native breed, but they’re the result of a successful Transcervical Insemination (TCI) performed here by our vet team.
Big thanks to their wonderful owners for trusting EKF every step of the way. Here’s to many adventures ahead for these precious pups!

👀 Those EYES! 🐾
We couldn’t be happier to welcome these adorable Dandie Dinmont Terrier puppies for their vaccinations today. It’s honestly impossible not to melt when they look up at you.
🥰Can you blame us for sneaking in some extra cuddles?
Giving pups like these the healthiest, happiest start is what EKF is all about.
Dandie Dinmonts are one of the UK’s vulnerable native breeds, and we love helping passionate owners give them the very best care. Supporting rare breeds means a lot to us, we feel so lucky to play a small part in their journey!
Wishing these sweet pups a lifetime of waggy tails and happy adventures. Thank you to their wonderful owners for choosing our veterinary team. Looking forward to watching them grow! 💛
How could anyone say no to those faces?

Elite Kennel Fertility Ltd formed in June 2019 following the collaboration of four business leaders, Tullis Matson, Kate Ashmore, Ellie Mitchell & Julian Barnfield. With over 30 years’ experience in assisted reproduction techniques and canine breeding, our state of the art laboratory, originally developed for equine breeding, now also offers the very latest technology in canine reproduction.
The company is based at Chapel Field Stud in Whitchurch, Shropshire. This site is also home to the multi award winning company Stallion AI Services Ltd, one of the world’s leading stallion semen collection centres, offering a huge range of equine breeding services. This business is owned and run by Tullis Matson and his team of 27 staff, fronted by Kate Ashmore, Director and Stud Manager since 2010.
Together, Tullis Matson and Ellie Mitchell co-own Equine & Canine Reproduction Supplies Ltd (ERS Ltd) and for over 15 years, have been providing over 90% of the UK’s equine and canine AI equipment to both veterinarians and stud owners. ERS Ltd are proud to be the exclusive provider for Mintube in the UK, the world leaders in canine semen collection, preservation and insemination products for small animal veterinarians and dog breeders.
Julian Barnfield, the final partner in the company, has managed large kennels in excess of 200 dogs for more than 30 years and in that time has overseen the successful covering of over 1000 bi***es. Focused principally on breeding and training elite working dogs, Julian has also had his fair share of success in the showring. He’s an expert in the field of canine husbandry and has lectured on this subject to large audiences across the UK.
We have also partnered up with the Leonard Brothers Veterinary Centre Ltd to offer a full range of bitch services from insemination to whelping. Leonard Brothers are a modern, family run, practice with traditional values but up to date treatments. Their veterinary team are constantly improving their skill base and knowledge through training and have several vets with Advanced Practitioner status recognised by the Royal College of Veterinary surgeons. Choosing a vet practice is a big decision and, as pet owners themselves, they understand the importance of getting it right. Leonard Brothers pride themselves on spending quality time with pets and their owners and maintaining outstanding levels of communication.
One of the main aims of the Elite Kennel Fertility is to bring the standard of assisted canine breeding in the UK in line with that of other species. Our intention is to balance ethical breeding and high welfare standards with the best technology and service that the industry has to offer. We believe that as ‘man’s best friend’, your dog deserves the absolute best care possible, where welfare is never compromised and a successful and stress free breeding programme is considered paramount. Whether from a working background or as your beloved pet, we can tailor our service to suit your requirements.
