Morning,
I've been doing some thinking.. what is the actual definition of a strain?

I've heard people say anyone can create there own strain just by breeding two different plants..? See this too me doesn't sound right. Haven't you just got like a cross.

I'll use dogs as an example.

If two different breeds of dogs do the wild thing and have puppys they're not a new breed of dog, just mongrels. You need to breed six (I think) generations of these mongrels to have a pure new breed.

Does anyone get what I'm on about? Wanna elaborate?
