from owners A. Leigh McBride DVM

and Alison N. McDonald

Dr. Leigh McBride graduated from the University of Florida Veterinary Medicine in 1984.  She started her private practice in December of that year after a 6 month internship at another veterinary hospital.  Her practice gravitated very quickly to an interest in “show dog” medicine due to her avid love of the sport of purebred dogs.

A portion of that direction would have to include the reproduction of these high quality animals.  Dr. McBride has studied extensively and attended continuing education classes on the most recent developments in canine reproduction.  A significant portion of her time and energies have been devoted to reproduction problems, chilled semen collections, inseminations and frozen semen procedures.

Dr. McBride is proud of her affiliation and certification with Camelot Farms frozen Semen Preservation System in December 2003.  Their quality of success in the field closely matched her own desires to be able to propagate quality animals long past their time on earth.

Alison grew up in Bucks County, PA and moved to Florida in 2001.  She is a breeder, owner, handler of her Doberman Pinschers under the kennel name Velo Dobermans.  Her most noted win was in 2004 at the Doberman Pinscher Club of America’s National Speciality.  Her bitch “Diem”, now Ch Velo Steal the Day was Winners Bitch and Best of Winners defeating over 300 class animals from the Bred By Exhibitor class!

Given the opportunity to work with Dr. McBride on the frozen semen venture, Alison jumped at the chance.  The love of showing and breeding drives both Alison and Dr. McBride.  After many months of research they decided that Camelot Farms had the best program for frozen semen.  Alison and Dr. McBride flew to Camelot Farms in College Station, TX and had an intensive course study learning the ins and outs of frozen semen.

Alison is currently in charge of freezing semen, sperm counts, morphology reports, shipping and receiving semen, paperwork to the AKC and thawing of frozen semen for inseminations.
