What is the Name of a Male Dog?

A male dog is commonly referred to as a “dog” or “male dog.” However, in specific contexts, especially in breeding or dog shows, a male dog is often called a “sire” if he has fathered puppies. The term “stud” is also used for a male dog that is used for breeding purposes. In everyday language, people usually just call them “dogs” or specify the gender by saying “male dog.”
