A male dog is called a "sire."

In the breeder's world, a male dog is simply called a "dog." (Females are called "bitches.") In the breed ring you have classes for "dogs" and classes for "bitches." Only males show as dogs, and only females show as bitches.

The father of a dog is called a "sire." Since not all male dogs necessarily sire litters, not all would be considered sires. Incidentally, mother dogs are called dams, but again not all bitches are dams.

a male dog is called a sire

In rural Australia, any where outside the politically correct circles of larger urban centres a male dog is called a bastard. Especially working dogs trained for the management of herd animals.

A male dog that refuses to listened to a command is referred to as a Bastard and a female dog that refuses to respond to a command is a Bitch.

However politically correct people will not accept this because the female equivalent is a bitch and that is not acceptable to feminist sensibilities.
