Actually it is Dam and Sire. Bitch is the term "we" use to describe a treasured breeding female. Stud is used for a dog that is used for breeding...and in the dictionary it's definition is a female dog.
If you look at a show catalog........you'll see Puppy Bitches 6-9 Months and Puppy Dogs 6-9 months and so on and so forth.
And we use all the proper when talking about their anatomy.....
