The correct answer is: Collection of traits reproduced across generations

A breed is defined as a collection of traits that are intentionally reproduced across generations. This involves specific physical characteristics that have been established through selective breeding practices to ensure that these traits are consistently passed down. Breeders focus on these distinguishing features—such as size, coat color, body structure, and temperament—aiming to have offspring that exhibit the same traits as their parents. In the context of animal control and breeding, understanding breed characteristics is crucial for identifying animals and assessing their needs or behaviors. This definition underlines the importance of genetic stability in maintaining the specific traits that define a breed.
