What is outcross breeding?
Outcross breeding is the practice of introducing a new bloodline into a breed. It is primarily done in the early process of developing a breed. One common example was of breeding a herding dog such as a collie or shepherd into a working dog line to enhance their protective qualities. Outcross breeding is commonly confused with cross-breeding to develop a new type of dog. No established breed outcrosses now.
What is the definiton of '' selective breeding''?
Selective breeding is where you breed animals or plants in such a way as to increase the desirable traits, or characteristics. By specifically selecting breeding partners with high levels of these desirable traits, the likelihood of the offspring having these traits increases. Over several generations, these desirable traits become more and more profound. For example, if farmers take only the best sheep for breeding, then they can be more assured that future generations of sheep will have the same or even improved characteristics. Selective breeding also works in a similar way when developing new crops, or the breeding of dogs for example. Its all about human intervention, where the breeding partners are chosen (or selected) by people.
What is the meaning of the offspring?
Offspring are the babies of any animal. For example, kittens are a cat's offspring.

What is the definition of selective breeding?
Selective breeding is when you mate specific plants or animals to pass on a certain genetic trait they may have. For example, if you have two horses with very strong hearts then you may want to breed them so that their offspring may also have a strong heart. Farmers use selective breeding to breed the best plants and animals for feeding, selling or breeding.
What is a crossing experiment?
Sometimes two related species are mated - for example, if you mate a horse and a donkey the offspring is a mule. That is a form of cross breeding. Or if you breed a poodle with a terrier you get a cross bred dog. If you do this experimentally just to see what the offspring is like, you are doing a crossing experiment.

What are breeding rights for cats?
When purchasing a pedigreed cat, "breeding rights" means that the offspring may be registered with one or more of the registering associations (TICA, CFA, GCCF, FiFE, ...). If you purchase a cat without breeding rights, you can exhibit it in competition, but you cannot register its offspring. Breeders typically sell cats without breeding rights when they feel that the cat does not represent the breed well enough to be used in a breeding program. The cat may still be a beautiful example of the breed and make a wonderful pet. A pedigreed cat without breeding rights is generally much less expensive than one sold with breeding rights. Due to the prevalence of "backyard breeders", who don't care about registration or pedigrees, reputable breeders increasingly rely upon early spay/neuter, rather than withholding breeding rights, to prevent unauthorized breeding from their lines.

Offspring are the babies of any animal. For example, kittens are a cat's offspring.
