Answers (1)

A breed is a specific group of domestic animals which are homogeneous in appearance.

Breed    Species
Animals of the same breed look similar.

Animals of a species may not look similar.          

A species can include more than one breed. A species is at a higher level compared to a breed. 
Example: Jersey and Sahiwal are breeds of cow. Example: Bos indicus is a species of cow.
