Crossbreed
A
crossbreed or
crossbred usually refers to an organism with
purebred parents of two different breeds, varieties, or populations.
Crossbreeding, sometimes called
"designer crossbreeding", refers to the process of breeding such an organism, often with the intention to create offspring that share the traits of both parent lineages, or producing an organism with
hybrid vigor. While crossbreeding is used to maintain health and viability of organisms, irresponsible crossbreeding can also produce organisms of inferior quality or dilute a
purebred gene pool to the point of
extinction of a given
breed of organism.
