The dog may not be able to mate, or if mating does occur, fertilization does not happen as expected. If the stud appears to be infertile, the most common causes are due to injury or infection. It also may be brought about by a sudden hormone change.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-is-my-dog-s-sperm-clear\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_dogs_sperm_clear\"><\/span>Why is my dog\u2019s sperm clear?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the semen collected is clear, it may indicate poor quality or no sperm production. Sperm Motility \u2013 The assessment is made by placing a drop of semen on a warm slide and evaluating the percentage of sperm swimming actively under microscope. The semen sample is examined immediately as motility decreases with time.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-a-seven-year-old-dog-get-pregnant\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_seven_year_old_dog_get_pregnant\"><\/span>Can a seven year old dog get pregnant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, every dog is different, and it may take a couple of years before the cycle regulates.
