There is much interest in the United States and other countries by dog breeders, pet owners, veterinarians and research workers who realize the great potential for the use of frozen semen. This potential is comparable to that already achieved in the cattle breeding industry.

Since the first successful pregnancy utilizing frozen dog semen (Seager, 1969), work on aspects of the freezing of dog semen has continued as part of a study of dog reproductive physiology, and parameters of semen collection, evaluation, freezing and artificial insemination have been established.

This study was undertaken to obtain a conception rate in dogs with frozen semen comparable to that obtained by the use of fresh semen and natural breeding. At the same time,

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
