Dog breeding is the intentional mating of selected dogs to produce offspring with specific desirable traits. Responsible breeders prioritize factors like health, temperament, and conformation, aiming to improve the overall quality of the breed. This involves careful selection of parent dogs, genetic testing, and health screenings to reduce the risk of hereditary diseases. Ethical dog breeding focuses on the well-being of both parent dogs and their puppies, ensuring they are healthy, well-socialized, and suitable for their intended purpose or as loving companions.
