Poodles - poodle colours when breeding


Expert: Kim Wingate - 7/1/2009

Question
Hi i have a toy white female and a brown toy male he comes from mainly brown breeding and she is mainly white/apricot although there is a black in her a long time ago they have mated and i was wondering if you knew what colour i might expect to get     many thanks    karen

Answer
Hello Karen,
I have a webpage that will tell you more about color breeding than I can, but since you would be breeding a brown color (which is a fading gene color) to a white or Apricot (which is also a fading gene color) then you will probably get Browns that fade to a Cafe Au Lait or White/Cream colored dogs.  
She could also produce darker browns due to the fact that your female had the black in her background.  Genetics is a very impossible science to predict exactly.

I hope this helps you some.  If you have other questions about this, Breeding, Whelping, or Puppy Care, please feel free to ask.

Thanks for using AllExperts.com,
Kim
