Plain-English summary
A growing number of dogs in breeding kennels are experiencing infertility issues, which can lead to smaller litters, abortions, weak puppies, and difficulty getting pregnant. One of the main concerns for breeders is canine brucellosis, a bacterial infection that can significantly impact reproductive health. It's important for pet owners and breeders to be aware of this condition and discuss it with their veterinarian if they notice any signs of infertility in their dogs. Early diagnosis and management can help improve outcomes for affected dogs.

Abstract
Infertility in dogs is a growing concern in breeding kennels. There are a number of bacteria, viruses, and husbandry practices that must be considered to determine the cause of decreased litter sizes, abortions, weak puppies, and lack of pregnancy, but brucellosis should be at the top of the differential list.
