A breed is a Domesticated Subspecies or Infrasubspecies of an Animal . A breed has no close analogy for domesticated may change this if it becomes more available. A breed should also be distinguished from a ''strain'', which is simply the descendants of a single significant individual, and which in domesticated animals is also known as a ''bloodline''. A strain may not remain entirely within a breed, nor is a breed necessarily composed of a single strain. For a type to be recognised as a breed, there should be a viable true-breeding population.
