Definitions Relating to Breeding
Purebred: A purebred animal is
one of pure breeding representing
definite, recognized breed and both
of whose parents were purebred
animals of the same breed. To be
considered purebred, livestock must
be either registered, eligible to regis
tration, or Tin the absence of public
registry for that class) have such
lineage that its pure breeding can
be definitely proved. To be of good
type and quality, the animal must
be healthy, vigorous and a creditable
specimen of it's breed.
Thoroughbred: The term Thorough
bred" applies accurately only to the
breed of running horses eligible to
registration in the General Stud
Book of England, the American Stud
Book, or affiliated stud books for
thoroughbred horses in other coun-
tries. (List thoroughbred in the
purebred column of the blank.
Standardized: Applied to horses,
this term refers to a distinct breed
of American light horses, which in
cludes both trotters and PAGERS
which are eligible to registration in
the American Trotting Register.
Applied to poultry, the term includes
all birds bred to conform to the
standards of form, color, marking,

try in the purebred column of the

Scrub: A scrub is an animal of
mixed or unknown breeding without
definite type or markings Such
terms as native, mongrel, razorback,
dunghill, piney woods, cayuse,
broncho and mustang are somewhat
synonymous with "scrub," although
many of the animals described by
these terms have certain fiXity of
type, even though they present no
evidence of systematic improved
breeding.
Crossbred: This term applies to
the progeny of purebred parents of
different breeds but of same species.
Grade: A grade is the offspring
resulting from mating purebred
with scrub, or from mating ami
mails not purebred but having close
purebred ancestors. The offspring
of a purebred and a grade is also a
grade, but through progressive i'm
provement becomes a high grade.
