How to Collect Sperm from a Dog

The male dog should be on a non-slip surface in a quiet room with few distractions. Having one person hold the female dog steady is very helpful. The person holding the male should hold him with a loose leash, avoiding pulling back on his collar if he attempts to mount the female. There should be minimal talking.

Allow the male to approach the female’s rear end, avoiding allowing her to swing around and startle him. Gently slide the prepuce, the skin covering the penis, back to expose the bulb of the penis. Slide the lubricated collection sleeve onto his penis and hold gentle steady pressure above the bulb of the penis to encourage an erection. Allow him to thrust or if he needs encouragement, stimulate above the bulb of the penis. The second part of the collection, cloudy with sperm, is the portion of the collection you should keep. Avoid collecting urine or semen with blood. Once the sperm-rich fraction is collected, remove the sleeve, and lubricate his penis so he can comfortably retract his penis into the prepuce sheath. Assure there is no hair caught in the skin, which can lead to pain or damage to the penis. Prior to canine insemination, perform an analysis of the semen.
