Crossbreed
A crossbreed or crossbred is a
hybrid animal of two
purebred parents. Crossbreed may also refer to a domestic animal where the breed status of only one parent or grandparent is known. Crossbreeding, also known as mixing, refers to the process of breeding such an animal, often with the intention of creating offspring that share the traits of both parent lineages. The term is sometimes used for
plants but is more commonly applied to
domesticated animals.
