What is the definition of a breed?
A breed is defined as a group related by decedents of common ancestors, and visibly similar in appearance. In the canine world this is further defined by stating that to qualify as a ‘breed’ the dogs in question must breed true to form. In other words, they must be able to produce offspring that match their phenotype, and that can closely meet up to a standard of physical and temperament qualifications set aside for their particular breed.
