Three hundred and eighteen dogs were examined post\u2010mortem in the period from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003. Before killing, a blood sample (from the cephalic vein) for testosterone assay was taken. Pathological conditions of the reproductive organs were found in 135 of the dogs (42.5%) and in 175 of the testes (64.8%). The most frequent pathologies found were testicular degeneration, cryptorchidism, testicular hypoplasia and testicular tumours (in 15.1%, 6.6%, 6.6% and 5.4% of the dogs and 15.1, 4.6, 6.0 and 3.5 of the testes, respectively). Transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) was seen in 5.4% of the dogs. Testicular degeneration was more common in old dogs and underweight dogs (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). Testicular tumours were 14.3 times more common in cryptorchid dogs. Age was another important factor for the development of testicular tumours (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05). Lower levels of testosterone concentration (p\u2003&lt;\u20030.05) were observed in dogs with advanced testicular degeneration (0.7\u2003\u00b1\u20030.8\u2003n<jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc>), dogs with hypoplastic testicles (0.8\u2003\u00b1\u20030.9\u2003n<jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc>) and dogs with one degenerated and one retained testis or with bilateral cryptorchidism (1.2\u2003\u00b1\u20030.9\u2003n<jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc>) compared to dogs with one or two normal testes (7.0\u2003\u00b1\u20035.5\u2003n<jats:sc>m<\/jats:sc>). Testicular volume and weight were significantly lower in degenerated, hypoplastic and retained testes compared with the contralateral normal testis. Some spermatogenic activity was found in three of the retained testes, producing oligozoospermic smears with a high percentage of sperm abnormalities. No comparable epidemiological data about male pathological conditions of the reproductive organs in the dog is available. The prevalence found in this study, yet, appears high.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0531.2006.00688.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,10]],"date-time":"2006-08-10T09:59:37Z","timestamp":1155203977000},"page":"429-437","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Pathological
