The early years in clinical studies draws my memory back to a time when my female lecturer-cum-clinician excitedly called my entire class of eager third year students to the large animal surgery room. Sitting quietly at her feet was a handsome German stud...an Alsatian as some may call the breed. My lecturer, who taught us small animal reproduction, was considered a specialist on the subject. She had recently taught us artificial insemination (AI) for pet animals at length but only in theory, and was eager to inaugurate the practical, hands-on side of the course. She was now intent on teaching us how to perform canine digital manipulation. That is of course, the polite veterinary term for masturbating a male dog to collect its semen for AI.
Spermatozoa can also be collected from dogs using electroejaculation and pharmacological methods. However, the most common method of semen collection in the dog is still via digital manipulation, or what some vets may call digital stimulation. Under ideal conditions, this procedure is performed in the presence of a bitch in heat. However, there happened to be none available that morning, so we had to carry on in good faith. After all, our lecturer was young and atractive...which we thought would be a good substitute for the stud!

Canine digital manipulation is a rather straightforward procedure and not as tricky as it sounds. Initially, the dog's penis is vigorously massaged through the prepuce at the level of the bulbus glandis, which is the caudal-most aspect of the prepuce. This is continued until a partial erection develops, where there is initial engorgement of the bulbus glandis. The prepuce is then quickly retracted past the bulbus glandis and firm constant pressure is applied to the penis behind the bulbus glandis by squeezing the penis between the index finger and the thumb. Pelvic thrusting may occur following application of pressure behind the bulbus glandis during the development of a "full" erection. Ejaculation, which follows shortly after, is composed of three fractions of ejaculate: first (sperm-poor), second (sperm-rich) and third (prostatic fluid).
After quite a lengthy speech on the procedure she was about to engage, my lecturer began massaging our Shepherd boy. She rubbed and she rubbed as she knelt beside it, one hand grasped firmly around the length of its penis while the other held a collection tube. As the small crowd gathered around these two action heroes, I could hear sniggers and whispers from my cheeky male coursemates at the back as to how experienced she seemed for a young, single female. It took her quite some time, but she eventually got him aroused and rock-hard. But she needed the ejaculate...and it hadn't come! Soon, the stroking action was wearing her out slowly but surely, and she was switching hands due to aches and cramps in both arms due to muscle fatigue. We admired her ambidexterity at the moment as this had never been described in any of the textbooks we had read on digital manipulation!
As we continued to wait impatiently for the orgasm to occur, our enthusiasm started to die down slowly, and along with it went the virility of the dog. We literally saw its reproductive tool shrink in her vigorously undulating hand. Whether it was due to crowd pressure, inability to perform in public with the many pairs of eyes fixated on it, or because it had simply lost interest, we could only guess. She motioned for it to continue standing, calling out its name every now and then as she continued to massage its doghood, but to no avail. She just could not resurrect its limp member! We stayed with lecturer and dog throughout the entire length of an hour-long period in what soon became an awkward circumstance for both demonstrator as well as students. Watching in silence, no one dared to even make a single sound or remark.
The demonstration on canine digital manipulation did not come to its intended end that fateful day...and our lecturer tried to offer a few reasons as to why the dog had failed to produce semen for us, but the highlight of our day was the look on our young lecturer's face - crimson with humiliation and completely frustrated...simply priceless!

Hee..the doggie couldn't perform under pressure!
Nice Herriot-like post! :)
ROFLOL!!! Digital manipulation indeed :P If it wasn't about dogs I'd have lots to say about it :P :P
Thanks Pink Elle...it probably wasn't cut out to be a porn star!
Thanks for your comment too Paris B! What would you have to say if it wasn't about dogs?! Well in the first place, if it wasn't about dogs, then I wouldn't be writing about it! Hee!
