Bart and Cindy used to have a dog that always had pink tinged semen when collected..never affected his fertility. Also upon collecting the dog..you may have injured a blood vessel...which would also cause blood in the semen. We have a saying "if you hear hoof beats..then it's probably horses..not zebras. In other words..obvious things happen more frequently then exotic problems...the dogs sperm is alive..viable..motile..he has no other symptoms of a problem...unless some other symptom occurs I wouldn't go looking for a problem.
