  • A Sociobiological Origin of Pregnancy Failure in Domestic Dogs
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A sociobiological origin of pregnancy failure in domestic dogs Luděk Bartoš1,2, Jitka Bartošová1, Helena Chaloupková2, Adam Dušek1, Lenka Hradecká2 & Ivona Svobodová2 Received: 01 July 2015 Among domestic dog breeders it is common practice to transfer a domestic dog bitch out of her home Accepted: 08 February 2016 environment for mating, bringing her back after the mating. If the home environment contains a Published: 26 February 2016 male, who is not the father of the foetuses, there is a potential risk of future infanticide. We collected 621 records on mating of 249 healthy bitches of 11 breed-types. The highest proportion of successful pregnancies following mating occurred in bitches mated within their home pack and remaining there. Bitches mated elsewhere and then returned to a home containing at least one male had substantially lower incidence of maintained pregnancy in comparison with bitches mated by a home male. After returning home, housing affected strongly the frequency of pregnancy success. Bitches mated elsewhere but released into a home pack containing a home male were four times more likely to maintain pregnancy than bitches which were housed individually after returning home. Suppression of pregnancy in situations where a bitch is unable to confuse a home male about parentage may be seen as an adaptation to avoid any seemingly unavoidable future loss of her progeny to infanticide after birth and thus to save energy. Multi-male mating is common among nearly 90% of 40 carnivore species in which it is known that offspring may be vulnerable to infanticide1. The most credible explanation is that multi-male mating confuses paternity, thereby deterring males from potential infanticide1,2.

Norwida 25, 50-375 Wrocław, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-691394742 Received: 18 September 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 13 November 2020 Simple Summary: Canine reproductive behavior can be easily observed; however, the mechanism of semiochemical signaling in this species is still not well understood. Despite numerous studies, no efficient, artificial canine sex pheromones are available. In most studies of canine semiochemical communication, female urine was believed to be a source of volatile compounds that attract males. We hypothesized that urine is also a source of compounds that are very important in the process of the mating decision but are not so volatile. These compounds are collected by licking urine or the vulva and are transferred into the vomeronasal organ. Such behavior always precedes the male’s mating decision. In two experiments, we assessed the reactions of male dogs in response to air containing odor molecules from estrous females’ urine, from a live female in estrus, and from food, as well as during direct sniffing of urine samples from females in estrus, in anestrus, from male dogs and from humans.

  • Fresh Chilled Semen Breedings: Tips for Success Part 1: the Stud Dog
    Fresh Chilled Semen Breedings: Tips for Success Part 1: The Stud Dog The following interview was originally released as a podcast on May 21, 2015. In this podcast interview, Dr. Scarlette Gotwals discusses tips for success with fresh chilled semen breedings with a focus on the stud dog as part of CHF’s Reproductive Health Series done in collaboration with Zoetis Animal Health. Dr Gotwals received her DVM from The Ohio State University in 1987. She has a special interest in canine reproduction and has been involved with canine reproduction and semen cryopreservation for 21 years. She is a nationally recognized authority in these areas and serves as a consultant to veterinarians through the Veterinarian Information Network. Dr Gotwals practices at Country Companion Animal Hospital in Morgantown Pennsylvania and is a consultant for the Canine Reproduction Division of Zoetis. AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF): What is a Fresh Chilled Semen Breeding? Dr. Scarlette Gotwals (Gotwals): Fresh chilled semen breedings are an excellent way to accomplish breedings over a distance without shipping either the stud or bitch. It is much easier to ship the semen than transport the female. Fresh Chilled also is an option for international breedings. The highest success is achieved with proper preparation, selection of adequate candidates, accurate ovulation timing, and finding experienced veterinarians for the collections and inseminations. CHF: How successful are fresh chilled semen breedings? Gotwals: Fresh chilled semen breedings are expected to produce puppies 80% of the time. This means that 20% of the time even if everything goes as planned puppies may not result.

  • Step by Step About Germ Cells Development in Canine
    animals Review Step by Step about Germ Cells Development in Canine Aline Fernanda de Souza †, Naira Caroline Godoy Pieri † and Daniele dos Santos Martins * Department of Veterinary Medicine, Faculty of Animal Sciences and Food Engineering, University of São Paulo, Pirassununga 13635-900, Brazil; [email protected] (A.F.d.S.); [email protected] (N.C.G.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +55-19-3565-6820 † These authors contributed equally to this work. Simple Summary: The progression of germ cells is a remarkable event that allows biological dis- covery in the differ-entiation process during in vivo and in vitro development. This is crucial for understanding one toward making oogenesis and spermatogenesis. Companion animals, such as canine, could offer new animal models for experimental and clinical testing for translation to human models. In this review, we describe the latest and more relevant findings on germ cell development. In addition, we showed the methods available for obtaining germ cells in vitro and the characteri- zation of pri-mordial germ cells and spermatogonial stem cells. However, it is necessary to further conduct basic research in canine to clarify the beginning of germ cell development. Abstract: Primordial germ cells (PGCs) have been described as precursors of gametes and provide a connection within generations, passing on the genome to the next generation. Failures in the formation of gametes/germ cells can compromise the maintenance and conservation of species. Most of the studies with PGCs have been carried out in mice, but this species is not always the best study model when transposing this knowledge to humans.

  • Factors Affecting the Reproductive Performance of Bitches: a Prospective Cohort Study Involving 1203 Inseminations with Fresh and Frozen Semen
    Theriogenology 101 (2017) 62e72 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Theriogenology journal homepage: www.theriojournal.com Factors affecting the reproductive performance of bitches: A prospective cohort study involving 1203 inseminations with fresh and frozen semen * F.K. Hollinshead , D.W. Hanlon GlenBred, Matamata Veterinary Services, 26 Tainui St, Matamata, 3400, New Zealand article info abstract Article history: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to utilize multivariable statistical methods to identify Received 12 April 2017 factors that significantly affected whelping rate, litter size and gestation length in a large population of Received in revised form bitches of many different breeds, presented for routine breeding management. In addition, we aimed to 20 June 2017 determine the incidence of dystocia and the proportion of bitches undergoing a caesarean section Accepted 20 June 2017 procedure. A total of 1146 individual bitches representing 84 different breeds contributed 1203 in- Available online 22 June 2017 seminations over the 9 year (2007e2015) study period. Bitches were inseminated with either frozen- thawed (n ¼ 645), fresh (n ¼ 543) or chilled (n ¼ 15) semen from 1371 different males. The mean Keywords: ± ± Canine (SD) whelping rate was 74 4% and the mean litter size was 5.8 3.1 pups per litter for all bitches in the fi Transcervical insemination study. The whelping rate was signi cantly lower in bitches inseminated with frozen-thawed semen Frozen semen compared with bitches inseminated with fresh semen (71% vs 80% respectively; P < 0.001). Semen that Whelping rate was classified as having poor motility (<30% progressive) resulted in a significantly lower whelping rate Gestation length (37%) than semen classified as good (30e65% progressive; whelping rate ¼ 67%) or excellent (>65% Caesarian section progressive; whelping rate ¼ 79%).
