Among professional breeders, dogs are
only allowed to mate for a specific
purpose.
Sometimes dogs are bred to create
puppies to sell, or sometimes to carry
on an award-winning purebred line.
Breeders who do this are usually
experienced in this process. Dog
breeders have access to records which
allow them to accurately guess which
characteristics will "breed true" in a
particular dog.
Dog breeders also have accurate
information on the complexities of the
reproductive process for the breed of
dog that they are accustomed to
handling.
