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 an antonym for selective breeding?

Uncontrolled breeding is an antonym for selective breeding. It refers to breeding without deliberate selection for specific traits, allowing natural or random processes to determine the outcome.

The offspring of two true-breeding plants is .?

The offspring of two true-breeding plants is also true-breeding, meaning they will consistently display the same traits as the parents. This is because true-breeding plants are homozygous for a particular trait, so when they are crossed, their offspring will also be homozygous for that trait.


What term is used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals?

The term commonly used to refer to the breeding of improved varieties of plants and animals is "selective breeding." This process involves choosing individuals with desirable traits to mate and produce offspring with those traits, ultimately leading to improved genetic characteristics in the population.


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.

Can crossbreeding pit bulls make the puppies sick?

When you inbreed, sometimes you have to make a outcross breeding to avoid conditions to the dogs. Too much inbreeding could be bad.


Should you inbreed pit-bulls dogs?

In a long term, it will be bad. John P. Çolby was a icon in creating this breed and he knew he had to outcroos his dogs after 30 years of breeding. He did outcross with a game dog.


What are outcross cattle?

Cattle of the same breed which have a parent of a different lineage or blood-line (be it a dam or a sire) than the lineage that is being bred on that ranch. For example, a ranch may have a closed-breeding program of a blood line of Line One Hereford cattle. When he wants to outcross some of his cows, he will buy a bull that does not have the Line One lineage, but instead will go for a bull that has, for instance, a Durango line instead so that the resulting offspring have Durango-Line One genetics. **Note: Line One and Durango are bloodlines that do exist in the Hereford breeding industry. They are just used as examples on here.


What are the differences between inbreeding and out breeding?

Outcrossing of individual animals of the same species that are unrelated or very distantly related (beyond the 5th generation) often creates hybrid vigor...where the offspring are healthier and more robust than either parent. This is often done when a group of individuals are so closely related that fertility or health diminish due to the higher concentration of the same alleles in the entire group. It can also be used to add desired characteristics into a breeding program. The disavantage of a complete outcross is that recessive characteristics are often masked in the F1 generation. Inbreeding of animals of the same species is done in an attempt to fix desireable characteristics in a group. The breeder using this technique must be careful to cull offspring with undesirable characteristics as well as examine whether the parent animals should be used for continued breeding. It is generally agreed that inbreeding within the 1st through 3rd generation should be followed by an outcross and/or the beginning of a linebreeding program.
