  3. Definition • “in domesticated animals is the process of a breeder developing a cultivated breed over time”—wikipedia

  4. Historically • Charles Darwin • Origin of Species—1859 • Journey of the Beagle • Finches with different attributes on the Galapagos islands

  5. What do you do? • Picking out desirable qualities to pass on to offspring • Breed the appropriate male and female species together to produce that offspring • Rebreed as many times as necessary to get the desire traits

  6. Techniques • Inbreeding: breeding between close relatives • Can lock in desirable traits to a population • Linebreeding: like inbreeding, but farther away relatives (i.e. cousins) • Can lock in desirable traits without causing damage to population • Outcrossing: introducing new traits • Introduce desirable traits

  7. Why? • Show dogs • Cattle • Horse racing
