Why breed matters
Chihuahuas and Great Danes are very similar, genetically speaking. But you wouldn't know it by looking at them. That's because, while much of their genetic composition is the same, people have selectively bred them over hundreds of years to bring out certain traits. And the same is true for our feline friends. These defined sets of characteristics — and the shared gene pool needed to achieve them — is what distinguishes one dog or cat breed from another.
