Is the white layer duck a hybrid/is golden 300 hybrid duck considered a "breed"?

I was cleaning up my lunch when I realized that these 2 breeds where not in Story guide to Raising Ducks(which is a MUST GET kinda book that all duck owners need!). So I am kinda confused about them. I know the Golden 300 is a hybrid, but is it considered a registered breed? Also is the white layer a hybrid. I am just a little drowned in the idea. I stress easy with things like this so I was just going to ask you guys! Thanks!

Instead of starting a new thread I might just ask....so are Muscovy domestic or wild? Like Mallards have they just been domesticated? In Story Guide to Raising Ducks it said something like some domestic ducks come from Muscovy's......

Hmmm. Muscovy are domestic But have become invasive in many parts. Gone wild. No Ducks are derived from Muscovy..

I believe the Golden 300's are a Kahki Cambel / Black Swedish cross, and the White Layer is a White Kahki Cambel / Silver Swedish cross.

If your interested in Silver Swedish, Metzers sells them once a year for a few week in mid summer. Dunno why they don't sell their white Cambels.

Muscovy are wild in parts of South America and are a protected species in one part of Texas because they migrate in to the US and back to South America. But only there in Texas every where else in the USA they are considered a nuisance.
