The dornor, 2 years old, 20kg and mixed breed, was bred naturally on day 1 and day 3 of estrus and eight gastrulae were collected by flushing the uterus of the donor after laparatomy on day 13 after the second mating. The embryos were frozen by programmable freezer and preserved for about 3 months in liquid nitrogen. Another bitch in natural estrus, 2 years old, 30kg, mixed breed, was selected as the recipient and the frozen embryos(8 gastrulae) were thawed and each 4 embryos were transferred into upper partr of left and right uterine horn, respectively, on day 13 after the proper mating day determined by vaginal smear. The ecipient delivered 6 offspring 48 days after embryo transfer. Of 6 puppies, one was still birth and two puppies died one month after birth. Parentage test was performed by DNA analysis using microsatellite sequences for 3 puppiers, the recipient, the donor, the male dog bred with the donor, and the male dog raised near to the recipient. The markers selected for the test were CXX 873(133-157 base pair) and CXX 894(141-165 base pair). Using primers manufactured according to the markers, the blood samples were processed for polymerase chain reaction and the PCR products were treated for electrophoresis. The three puppies showed identical band to that of recipient, consequently, it was concluded that the puppies were offspring of the recipient mated naturally by the male dog, not the offspring by embryo transfer.
