depending the trait you find most desirable on the animal.
like if i want the charcoal color of a Siamese cat's ears, then i would breed the cat, and whatever kitten has that trait, get the kitten, then breed it again

Why do people use selective breeding to change characteristics of plants?
Selective breeding is done to increase the likely hood of certain traits desirable by the breeder. If a dog breeder liked the shape of a dog's ears, she would mate that dog with another dog with similar shaped ears. Incestuous mating occurs quite frequently in animal breeding due to the increased genetic similarity. All dogs belong to the same species, and therefor can produce viable offspring. The reason a Chihuahua and a German Shepard are so different is because of the ancient practice of selective animal breeding.
What are some examples of selective breeding animals and plants?
The female two toed sloth is probably one of the most selevtive breeding animals. Her mate must do the can-can before she will breed with him. Of course, the most selevtive in biology it the venemous tentacular.
What are some organisms that was been produced by selective breeding?
I'm unaware of any animals which cannot be selectively bred. If offspring are produced through the mating of male and female of the species, you should be able to select for the most desirable traits in both parents. This assumes, of course, that the breeding stock are already in captivity.
What are some examples of true-breeding?
