  1. Dogs in the study were split into three groups: Group 1 (5–15 Kg), Group 2 (15–25 Kg) and Group 3 (> 25 Kg). TSC total sperm count, TSM total sperm motility, PSM progressive sperm motility, VCL curvilinear velocity, VSL straight line velocity, VAP average path velocity, LIN linearity, STR straightness, WOB wobble
