The aim of this study is to evaluate the concentration of luteinizing hormone as well as the effect of spring on ovary. Based on the luteinizing hormone concentration, this study suggested that spring is the time of the year when all (female) dogs, irrespective of the manner of sustenance, become reproductively active. This study showed the (female) dog reproductive behaviour to be caused by internal and external factors such as photoperiod, temperature, ambient conditions, nourishment, the change of season, etc. These results play important role in estimating estrus in (female) dogs and observing all relevant factors that are crucial to maintaining the reproductive potential of (female) dogs.
