Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Crossbreeding two purebred organisms will produce offspring that display the characteristics of interest. For example, Poodles are crossed with Labrador Retrievers to combine a Poodle’s low-shedding coat with the Labrador’s calm, trainable temperament.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hunting dogs (e.g. beagles) were typically bred to be smaller in stature so as to enter fox holes. Herding dogs (e.g. sheep dogs) were bred for heightened intelligence in order to follow herding commands. Racing dogs (e.g. greyhounds) were specifically bred to be sleek and fast. More items
