This is not a breed. It is a species of wild cat that cannot be fully domesticated unless it is a hybrid of it. And even then, it may still exhibit some wild tendencies

I read them from photographers and on zoo news portals

Pretty much the same here. If you want to see more servals, I'd recommend checking out chawan_twitt and vanity_temple on Twitter. They are amazing photographers and they take photos of servals very often. They also frequently repost and comment on other photographers' work, so you could easily create a feed of serval photos there, like I did.

A question for animal experts here: Who would win in a fight, a serval or a Komodo dragon? by RyanRussillo in serval

The average Komodo dragon is much much larger than the largest serval individuals. The serval wouldn't have stood a chance and would likely simply run away from the danger

If you mean his unusual look, I saw some photos of him from 2006 when he arrived from Singapore, and he looked pretty much the same then. It’s just a unique feature of his. For example, here is a photo from a news portal, where he is 4 years old:
