Description

Definition of “Purebred”
Ancestry: A purebred animal has an unmixed lineage, meaning its descent can be traced through multiple generations within the same specific breed.
Predictable Traits: Because of this consistent ancestry and selective breeding, purebreds generally “breed true-to-type,” meaning their offspring reliably inherit the same physical appearance, temperament, and other characteristics as their parents. This predictability is often why people choose a specific purebred animal, such as a Labrador Retriever for specific behaviors or a certain type of horse for specific functions.
