Don't be offended but it is a "bitch." In fact, "Bitch" can refer to any female canine (especially a dog) whether or not it is a mother. The more precise term for a mother dog is a "dam," which applies to any female parent of a four-legged animal. The male parent is the "sire."
A male dog is just called a "dog" unless he is used for breeding- then he is referred to as a "stud" or "sire" of a litter.

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.

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