came up with this...
E-Mail: I am the owner of "Emerald Glen Kennels", Salem WI. I've been breeding English Bulldogs for 35 years. "SMASHER" is my established bloodline, and I have bred some of the top Show Bulldogs in the country. Conception of the bitch has always been a challenge. I've been using your "Estrus Test Strips", for three and a half years Using your test strips has proven 100% conception rate over the past year and a half. I maintain 4 to 8 breeding and show bitches and usually have about 4 litters a year. Before using your test strips I was lucky if I got 2 litters a year, using other methods.

these pads are designed to detect changes in pH and carbohydrate concentration in the vaginal fluid. basically you take one of the pads which is on a plastic strip, put it into the vagina for 15 seconds and then see if there is a color change.
