Humans have selectively bred all of these:
A horse breeds B cat breeds C Dog Breeds
Scientists also cloned-bred Dolly, a Finn Dorset sheep. Dolly was born July 5th, 1996, at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. Clone-breeding raised many controversies about cloning, while breeding raises few controversies UNLESS the breeding is known to produce defects in offspring.
To improve livestock breeds, I would apply selective breeding techniques based on genetic traits that enhance productivity, disease resistance, and adaptability to environmental changes. Incorporating advanced technologies like genomic selection can help identify desirable traits more efficiently. Additionally, implementing better management practices and nutrition can support the overall health and performance of the breeds. Continuous monitoring and data analysis would ensure that breeding programs adapt to evolving challenges and market demands.
The one benefit of animal cloning that will have the biggest impact on our environment is that with the technology of cloning, we can now preserve endangered breeds and species.
The objective of crossbreeding programs is to combine the most desirable traits of select breeds in order to arrive at the desired characteristics of leanness, meatiness, feed efficiency, growth rate, and durability.
This is a somewhat complicated topic so I cannot give a compete answer, but in general, people do not agree about whether it is really possible to improve on nature. Genetic engineering allows us to give plants and animals specific traits that we want them to have, such as giving a plant resistance to a particular kind of herbicide, but what are the side effects? Is this plant still safe for humans to eat? What happens if the plant accidentally cross breeds with other plants in the wild? (And should we even be using herbicides?) So there are a lot of issues.

Using selective breeding is exactly how people produced the different dog breeds. They discovered dogs that had the characteristics or skills they wanted and bred them.
Inbreeding

yes
Yes. Selective breeding is also used to improve or otherwise change breeds of dogs, cats, horses, cows, and so forth.
Cross breeding is simply taking two breeds of animals and mating them together (Such as a Charolais crossed with a Hereford). Where selective breeding is selecting the what two animals you want bred together to produce a better animal.
Artificial selection or selective breeding.
All defined breeds are selectively bred. Maybe different breeders have slightly different goals, but as long as humans decide which dog mates with which, then it is selective breeding. Only time breeding isn't selective is when the dogs are free to mate as THEY wish. As with street dogs.
Cattle breeding or selective breeding or transitioning from ranching to dairy farming.
All the breeds have been found to howl at the moon just like the wolf.
The process is called artificial selection.
Giant rabbit breeds were developed through programs of selective breeding. They were bred for the meat and fur trade.
