Stud Dog Breeding
Breeding relies on the science of genetics. A breeder knowledgeable on canine genetics, health, and the intended purpose of the dogs attempts to breed suitable dogs. Inbreeding causes painful and life-threatening genetic defects in “purebred” dogs and cats, including crippling hip dysplasia, blindness, deafness, heart defects, skin problems, and epilepsy.
The act of deliberately mating dogs to create puppies is known as dog breeding. Among the responsibilities are caring for adult dogs and puppies, helping with dog births, and matching puppies with prospective owners. There are numerous costs involved, and even though each puppy is sold for a high price, you never know if there will be a demand for your litter.
