The Halpoid number will be 39 because it is half of the Diploid number,
39
The "haploid number" is the number of chromosomes in a given organism's reproductive cell (i.e., either sperm or egg or similar, depending on the species) or it's the number of pairs of chromosomes in an organism. They are easier to count just before mitosis or during the interphase of meiosis. So put a cell under a microscope, make sure it is in the right phase of reproduction and count the little "X's".
78 chromosomes
A dog sperm contains 39 chromosomes. A dog somatic (non-sex) cell contains 78 chromosomes.
Cells are usually diploid and contain two of each chromosome. A normal human cell contains 46 chromosomes, however this number is dependent on the type of organism. For example, dogs have 78 chromosomes and cats have 38 chromosomes.
Each organism has a distinct number of chromosomes, in humans, every cell contains 46 chromosomes. Other organisms have different numbers, for instance, a dog has 78 chromosomes per cell. Somatic Cells - body cells, such as muscle, skin, blood ...etc. These cells contain a complete set of chromosomes (46 in humans) and are called DIPLOID. Sex Cells - also known as gametes. These cells contain half the number of chromosomes as body cells and are called HAPLOID Chromosomes come in pairs, called Homologous Pairs (or homologs). Imagine homologs as a matching set, but they are not exacly alike, like a pair of shoes. Diploid cells have 23 homologous pairs = total of 46 Haploid cells have 23 chromosomes (that are not paired) = total of 23
The diploid number of chromosomes in all dogs is 78 (2x39). The haploid number would be 39.

All dogs, regardless of breed, have 78 diploid chromosomes (or 39 haploid).

The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris has a diploid number of 78 chromosomes.

Yes, 78 is a whole number.
78
78 is an even number as it can be divided by 2!
