black + cream = 2 blue puppies?We have a cream puppy and his sire was blue and dam was black. I'm wondering what the genetics are with that breeding and how those colors ended up with black and cream with 2 blue, puppies?
black and blue had 3 cream puppies, 2 blue puppies, and 3 black puppiesblack + cream = 2 blue puppies?
or do you mean
black + blue = 2 cream puppies?
Think a lesson in biology would indicate that you may have to go further back than just mom and dad...
Kpoos do you have the pedigree of your puppy yet ? look on poodlepedigree.com and they have a button to see the colors of the dogs. If you have akc pedigree the colors of the dogs should be listed. But like cp you may need to go back in the pedigree to find the creams or whites or apricots.Mendel's Law, Punnett Squares and Pedigree Charts will help determine all of this... still, you need to go further back (from Dam and Sire) to figure it all out...
Well, I have the names of both his parents so it's not hard to get pedigree. I'll look it up. I'm just wondering about genetics because it's hard for me to grasp and I want to learn.Kpoos do you have the pedigree of your puppy yet ? look on poodlepedigree.com and they have a button to see the colors of the dogs.

I am looking at vetgen and since my dog is black and both parents are black then the only test I would need to find out what colors she carries would be "b" and "e" since black is dominant. Is this correct or would I also need the "ay" or "k"?There are a number of companies out there that are doing color testing and some of them are dodgy. Go with Vetgen. Good reputation; solid, accurate results.

Thanks spoos4us! I actually just ordered the vwd and ne test from vetgen and spoke with someone briefly(didn't catch her name) about color testing. She suggested I start with the b and e since my girl is black. I did not order the color tests yet as I have a LONG way to go before I even consider breeding her. She is still a pup and has not even started in the ring yet. I am doing the health testing that I can little by little but I will wait on the color. It is so fun learning about how all of it works though. Did you find anything interesting with your results?Hi Kalamama I just color tested my spoos. Before I sent my test kits back to vetgen I called and talked with a lady named Ann she answered all of my questions You might want to call her
