This study was carried out to investigate the general characteristics such as volume, sperm concentration, sperm motility, sperm abnormality on whole semen, removed seminal plasma(RSP) semen and fractional semen of small dogs, and the effect of temperature and preservatio time and cryopreservation on motility of whole and removed seminal plasma semen. Multiple ejaculates were collected from small dogs by the digital manipulation of penis. 1. Average sperm concentration, sperm motility and abnormal sperm rates of whole semen and RSP semen were 5.07$pm$2.32$ imes$10$^{6}$ cells/$mell$, 95.42$pm$2.65%, 4.42$pm$0.157% and 4.69$pm$3.27~4.25$pm$3.65$ imes$10$^{6}$ cells/$mell$, 91.17$pm$3.85~88.52$pm$3.85%, 6.57$pm$0.43~5.54$pm$0.52%, respectively. 2. Average semen volume per ejaculate, sperm concentration, sperm motility and abnormal sperm rate of 1st fractional semen were 0.92$pm$0.7$mell$, 4.57$pm$0.78$ imes$10$^{6}$ cells/$mell$, 10.72$pm$3.21% and 5.50$pm$0.70%. Average semen volume per ejaculate, sperm concentration, sperm motility and abnormal sperm rate of 2nd fractional semen were 2. 14$pm$0.19$mell$, 2.01$pm$0.12$ imes$10$^{6}$ cells/$mell$, 95.44$pm$4.21% and 4.31$pm$0.53%. Average semen volume per ejaculate, sperm concentration, sperm motility and abnormal sperm rate of 3rd fractional semen were 2.66$pm$0.23$mell$, 2.35$pm$0.21$ imes$10$^{6}$ cells/$mell$, 90.71$pm$2.63%, 6.33$pm$0.91%, respectively. 3. Motility of whole semen and RSP semen were higher at 2$0^{circ}C$ than at 4$^{circ}C$ or 37$^{circ}C$. When preservation temperature was 2$0^{circ}C$, sperm motility were 98.32% at 1 hr, 92.15% at 5 hrs, 90.23% at 10 hrs 82.08% at 15 hrs 70.07% at 20 hrs 60.02% at 20 hrs 37.19% at 40 hrs respectively. 4. Average sperm motility of frozen 2nd fraction semen and RSP semen were 33.3$pm$8.7, 54.7$pm$9.5%, respectively. Sperm motility was significantly higher in frozen 2nd fraction semen and RSP semen compared with control group.
