Crossbreeding
By Definition |
|
The act or
process of producing offspring by mating purebred individuals of
different breeds, varieties or species.
Crossbreeding is usually done with the intent of producing
offspring that share the traits of both parent lineages,
especially if the traits are beneficial. However, an
irresponsible crossbreeding
can also produce animals of inferior quality or weaken purebred
gene pool.

MGB
= (all dogs in this catagory are over 85% of one breed)
This can be achieved by a F1b dog bred to purebred dog of the
same majority breed in the F1b dog (e.g. F1b Bulloxer bred to a
Boxer = MGB Bulloxer
Also by any MGB dog then again crossed with the majority breed
again. |
