What does it mean when a dog is a purebred?
These dogs are the fruits of true breeding, meaning they are purebreds and belong to a specific dog breed. These dogs are the result of the breeding of two purebred dogs. Half of each dog is the mother’s breed, and the other half is the father’s breed. Example: a Labradoodle whose mother is a purebred Labrador and father a purebred Poodle.
What happens when a mother dog breeds with the son?
A mother dog with a particularly unusual coat color may give birth to puppies that are the same color. By breeding the mother to one of her sons the next time, another family can be established that has the same color. This sets the stage for line breeding of the best specimens, once more dogs with the same color are available with which to breed.
Can a dog be bred with a female?
“I should clarify: never bred with a female.” Responsible breeders look at the lineage of each dog and, especially in the cases of rarer breeds, will make sure that there isn’t a close relation between the bitch and sire.
How much does it cost to breed a purebred dog?
Some breeders can charge up to $100,000 for their champion purebred to do it doggy style and produce a legacy litter of puppies that are way more likely to win a dog show and then become high-end studs themselves — like a perpetual money-making machine fueled by animal sex.

What happens if two purebred dogs mate but are not the same breed?
If two purebred dogs mate but some of the resulting litter are obviously not that breed, the owner can figure there’s another sire somewhere. It’s harder if there are multiple sires without DNA testing. Sometimes it’s guesswork.
Can a purebred dog have two different Dads?
It doesn’t just occur in dogs and cats — although rare, it’s even possible for fraternal human twins to have different dads. If two purebred dogs mate but some of the resulting litter are obviously not that breed, the owner can figure there’s another sire somewhere. It’s harder if there are multiple sires without DNA testing.
Can a female dog have more than one sire?
If she mates with more than one dog during that roughly week-long period, puppies in the litter might have different sires. While few people intentionally breed a female dog to more than one male, multiple fatherhood can easily occur if a dog in heat escapes the confines of her house and yard and meets up with various males.
