Dog Breed Sperm Kinematics Analyzed at Different Frame Rates

Ninety-seven ejaculates from 49 adult male dogs across 11 breeds were collected and analyzed using a computer-assisted sperm analysis system. Videos were acquired at 500 frames per second and computationally down-sampled to evaluate kinematic parameters. The dataset was created by Francisco Sevilla and last updated on May 14, 2026.

Use Cases

• Determining optimal video frame rates for canine sperm analysis based on kinematic sensitivity.
• Comparing sperm motility and concentration differences across specific dog breeds.
• Modeling the relationship between frame rate and kinematic variable measurement using exponential regression.
• Establishing breed-specific reference ranges for sperm kinematic parameters like curvilinear velocity.

Strengths

• Includes data from 97 ejaculates across 11 distinct dog breeds, providing comparative breadth.
• Reports specific, calculated optimal frame rates for breeds, such as 433.72 fps for Miniature Schnauzer and 939.67 fps for Golden Retriever.
• Analysis performed at a controlled temperature of 37°C, suggesting standardized laboratory conditions.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
