This set of resources is used to expose the animal breeds.

Data guidance

In some cases animals have multiple breeds associated to them. A common known occurrence of this is when a dog breed, such as Poodle, is crossed with another breed, such as Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, ending in the cross breed known as Cavoodle. Because when the animal has multiple breeds there is usual a favouritism of one breed over the other, there is a a special return type for the GET /api/animalBreeds?/animalId={id} resource that allows for such a favouritism to be distinguished. Please refer to Figure 10.
