I would never breed any champion bitch of mine to a stud that is not a champion and has not passed all the health tests, and that is just a starter. |

A great breeder is looking to breed not only the healthiest of dogs, but the ones that best represent the breed standard. Just because a dog is registered with the AKC doesn't make them a good candidate for breeding.
As for the term bitch and stud (or dam and sire), those are the proper terms to use when referring to breeding. |
Couldn't agree more with each of you. Health and temperament matter the most.
