bred

v. reproduce; raise animals; guide, nurture; cause

See Breed (song) for the song by Nirvana. See Breed (video game) for the video game by Brat Designs. A breed is a domesticated subspecies or infrasubspecies of an animal. For a type to be recognised as a breed, there should be a viable true-breeding population. The term may also be used as a verb, meaning action intended to produce offspring. The breeder makes it his or her trade to engage in plant breeding and the maintenance and creation of breeds of animals suitable for domestication.
