Purpose-bred dogs are bred specifically for research and obtained from Class A dealers who raise all their animals in a closed colony on their own premises.
Researchers claim that the advantages of fusing purpose-bred animals include more uniform genetic control, fewer health problems, consistent vaccination histories, and animals accustomed to cage life. Adversely, researchers say purpose-bred dogs are more expensive, and they lack the proper socialization necessary for research.

Vivisection is the practice of cutting into or using invasive techniques on live animals. The term is derived from the Latin word vivus, which means ‘alive.” Animal experimentation is conducted in universities, hospitals, military bases, agricultural facilities, and independent laboratories that are contracted by corporations.
