He is interested in raising dogs. Thank you. tmn111 Joined on Tue, Mar 3 2009 Full Member 145 Difference Between, Context

	DougLewis  +  965130 Sun, 08 Nov 09 01:26 PM Dog breeding generally referes to the business of mating very specific animals together in order to produce offspring having very certain characteristics and often a "pedigree."  Raising dogs is a much more generic term and does not imply any specific reason or motive. It may not even involve mating animals, merely taking pups perhaps and looking after them until they are mature. (This is a very general phrase or term "usage" explanation.)
