Canine reproduction has several distinctive features. Firstly, folliculogenesis is unusual as numerous ovarian follicles contain several oocytes (polyovular follicles). Secondly, unlike in other mammalian species, oocytes at the time of ovulation are still at an immature stage (prophase I, germinal vesicle stage), and complete their maturation in the oviduct. This phenomenon is not easy to observe because the canine oocyte has a high lipid content and its DNA is difficult to visualise. Fertilization of immature oocytes has been observed in vitro, however in vivo, fertilization occurs in oocytes at the metaphase II stage, approximately 50 hours after ovulation. The 2-pronuclei stage is reached 72-124 hours after ovulation, and 2-cell embryos...
