Suggestion: Change to Patient Breed Details

Currently we use 

BREED as a field on a patient: 
I am suggesting we change to 2 Fields
Primary Breed
Secondary Breed (or Cross Breed)

For pure bred dogs the secondary would be blank

For Cross bred of unknown the secondary would be a default - mixed.
 

Why
The breed list is out of Control - and honestly this would simplify and improve data. 
We would no longer need mutiple entries and wording for the same breed 

jxpath would need updating to not break reporting.

THe current breed field could become a derived field entry

If you really wanted to get fancy you could also support Breed alias's or Common Name's- ie 

Labradoodle ( Its generally a Poodle x Labrador ) No its not a pure breed ...
