Pronunciation: [tɹˈuːbɹəd] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Truebred" can be confusing for some since it is commonly misspelled as "Purebred". The correct pronunciation of the word is [truːbred], which shows that it is spelled with a "u" and not "p". This word refers to an animal that is a purebred, meaning that it has a known and documented pedigree. It is important to spell words correctly to ensure clear communication and avoid misunderstanding.
"Truebred" is a term used to describe an individual or animal that has been bred and possesses pure or authentic genetic traits of a specific breed or species. This term combines the concepts of true and purebred.
When applied to animals, particularly domesticated species like dogs or horses, the term "truebred" emphasizes the fact that the offspring have been selectively bred for generations to maintain specific physical and behavioral characteristics that are unique to the breed. These characteristics may include size, coat color and texture, temperament, or performance abilities. Such animals are considered to be of higher value and are often sought after by enthusiasts or breeders who aim to preserve and perpetuate these traits.
In contrast to a mixed breed or crossbreed, which may have a combination of traits from two or more breeds, a truebred animal is expected to conform to a breed standard established by breed associations or kennel clubs. This means that it should exhibit the distinctive features and meet certain criteria that define the breed, both in terms of appearance and behavior.
The term "truebred" can also be used more generally to describe individuals who have inherited genuine qualities or characteristics from their ancestors or cultural heritage. It conveys a sense of authenticity and reliability, suggesting that something is true to its origins or lineage.
The word "Truebred" is a combination of the adjective "true" and the noun "bred".
The term "true" originated from the Old English word "trēowe" meaning "faithful" or "loyal". Over time, its meaning evolved to convey concepts such as "genuine", "accurate", or "real".
The word "bred" comes from the Old English verb "brēdan", which means "to produce offspring" or "to raise". It is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "breedaną", indicating the act of procreation or raising offspring.
"Truebred" combines these two terms to signify an animal that is of a pure or authentic lineage, often referring to pedigree or purebred animals that have been selectively bred to maintain specific characteristics or traits.
