In greyhound racing terms, what is a dogs "sire" and what is a dogs "dam"?

i am trying to trace details of my greyhound and have recieved an email saying his sire is "reactabond rebel" and his dam is "racefield shelley". anybody know what this means?

1. "Sire" is the biological father, "Dam" is the bitch it was bred from
2. Sire is the father Dam is the mother
3. Sire and dam are used for good bit of animals like goats, and the Sire is the dad and the dam is the mother of the animal
4. That means his father is reactabond rebel and his mother is racefield shelley.The dam is the female after she bred and the sire is the male after the puppies are born.
5. A female dog -- B*tch A male dog -- Dog A dog used for breeding ---Stud A female who has had a litter of puppies -- Dam -- Mother A dog that helped to produce a litter of puppies -- Sire -- Father Sire and Dam are not a racing term but terms used for all dogs which have had a litter of puppies So Reactabond Rebel is the father of your dog Racefield Shelley is the mother of your dog
6. i have a rescue greyhound, the sire is the father and the dam is the mother
