Abstract
A 3 year-old female Afghan hound came to the Veterinary Referral Hospital of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul National University for artificial insemination (AI) with frozen semen. In order to inseminate, semen was frozen in USA 3 years ago. Frozen semen was sent by air from Santiago to Seoul for AI. The stud died 2 years ago, so we could only use a limited amount of frozen semen in that estrus cycle. The number of total motile spermatozoa was $59.4{\times}10^6$and the total volume was 1.2 ml. The frozen spermatozoa were thawed in $70^{\circ}C$ water for 8 sec, which were then deposited at the bilateral uterine horns by a surgical method. The number of corpus luteum was 6. Sixty days after artificial insemination resulted in the birth of 4 puppies, all of which are alive and healthy.
