well-bred
This term carries a strong connotation of social stratification and inherited prestige. When applied to people, it suggests a level of refinement and etiquette that is perceived as innate rather than learned, often implying an upbringing in an affluent or aristocratic environment. It is more formal than saying someone has good manners and can sometimes be perceived as exclusionary or snobbish depending on the speaker's intent.
In the context of animals, the word shifts from social grace to genetic superiority. It focuses on the purity of a bloodline and the adherence to specific breed standards. While the human application focuses on behavior and social navigation, the animal application focuses on physical traits and ancestral lineage.
