Any known ring species where (A + B cannot breed OR B + C cannot breed) AND A + B can breed? Assume not possible?

That's logically equivalent to (A + B can breed) AND (B + C cannot breed), not a very exciting question.
Did you mean AND (A + C can breed)?

Still not exciting. I think we are looking for non transitivity: A+B & B+C but !A+C

That's exactly what a ring species is.

You are asking for both A&B and !(A&B)?
