How does a breeder determine which of his bitch puppies will be sold as a brood bitch or a pet? I've seen pictures of brood bitches that look like pets. So what's the difference? Is it one outstanding quality that the brood bitch has that makes a breeder decide to use her for their breeding program? And how about that pet.......could she not also produce well coming from the same bloodlines? Best wishes, Barbara -- Barbara J.
