In breeding circles, a male canine is referred to as a dog, while a female is
called a bitch. A group of offspring is a litter. The father of a litter is
called the sire, and the mother is called the dam. Offspring are, in general,
called pups or puppies, from French poupee,
until they are about a year old. The process of birth is whelping, from the Old
English word hwelp. The term "whelp" can also be used to refer to
the young of any canid, or as a alternative to "puppy". Source
