Abstract

Due to their unique reproduction, reproductive technology advances in canids have lagged behind compared to other mammalian
species. Currently, semen cryopreservation and artificial insemination have been widely used in domestic dog. However, artificial
insemination in wild canids is still limited due largely to poor semen quality, high susceptibility of sperm to cryopreservation procedures,
and inability to noninvasively predict ovulation and timed insemination. For female canids, inability to consistently mature oocytes
in vitro has limited the use of embryo technology in these species. However, birth of the first domestic dog puppies produced via in
vitro fertilization has reinvigorated research interests in this area. This presentation will summarize the status of assisted reproductive
technologies in domestic and wild canids and will discuss new, exciting research in fertility preservation and application of reproductive
technologies in wild canid conservation.
