Purebred

A purebred refers to an animal, typically a dog or horse, that belongs to a recognized breed and has a lineage consisting solely of that breed for several generations. This means its parents, grandparents, and so on were all the same breed, which often leads to specific physical and behavioral traits that are characteristic of that breed. Purebreds are usually registered with breed organizations, ensuring their pedigree is documented. This can appeal to those looking for particular features or temperaments associated with a breed, although purebreds may also be more prone to certain health issues due to lack of genetic diversity.
