Where did the Black and White color come from?

The breed comes in a variety of colors, but black and white Standard Poodles hold a special place in the hearts of many enthusiasts. This striking color combination has been present in the breed for centuries, often seen in depictions of Poodles throughout history.

In the past, black and white Poodles were sometimes referred to as "Parti Poodles," a term that describes any Poodle with a coat that is at least 50% white with patches of another color. Today, the black and white pattern remains one of the most sought-after and visually appealing variations of the breed.

The Genetics that make Black and White Standard Poodle Puppies

The black and white coloring in Standard Poodles is the result of a specific combination of genes that determine coat color and pattern. The primary gene responsible for the black coat color is the B locus, where the dominant B allele produces black pigment. For a Poodle to be black, it must carry at least one B allele.

The white patches in black and white Poodles are due to a different gene called the S locus, which controls the presence of white spotting. Poodles with white patches typically have two copies of the recessive sp allele, which leads to the parti-color pattern. This pattern results in a coat that is predominantly white with large areas of black.

The combination of these genetic factors results in the striking black and white Poodle that many people adore. It’s important to note that while the black and white coloration is beautiful, it doesn’t affect the dog’s temperament or health. The pattern is purely cosmetic, and these Poodles are just as intelligent, loving, and trainable as any other Poodle.

When looking for a black and white Standard Poodle puppy, it’s crucial to choose a reputable breeder who prioritizes the health, well-being, and proper socialization of their puppies. Here are some of the key benefits that a responsible breeder can provide:

1. LIFETIME Health Guarantee
   • All of them - including our black and white Standard Poodle puppies - come with a Lifetime Genetic Health Guarantee.  That means, that if they at any time in their lives suffer a disease of definite congenital or genetic origin, that is life threatening or seriously impacts their quality of life - we will refund the price you paid for your puppy in full.   [Isn't it refreshing to work with a breeder who's prepared to stand behind the health of their dogs?]
2. Family-Reared Puppies
   • One of the most important aspects of raising well-adjusted Poodles is ensuring they are family reared. Puppies that are raised in a home environment are exposed to the sights, sounds, and routines of daily life. This early socialization helps them become well-rounded dogs that are comfortable around people, children, and other pets. Family-reared puppies are often more confident and better adapted to their new homes when adopted.
3. Potty Training Started
   • Potty training is one of the biggest challenges new puppy owners faces, but a good breeder will start this process for you. By the time you bring your black and white Standard Poodle puppy home, they will have already begun learning where and when to relieve themselves. This head start can make the transition to a new home smoother and less stressful for both you and your puppy.
4. Dewclaws Removed
   • Dewclaws are small, thumb-like toes located on the inside of a dog’s leg. While some owners choose to keep them, others prefer to have them removed, especially if the dog will be very active. Dewclaw removal is typically done when the puppies are very young to minimize discomfort. A reputable breeder will take care of this procedure for you, ensuring that your puppy is ready for an active lifestyle.
5. Crate Training
   • Crate training is an essential part of housebreaking and helps your puppy feel secure in their new environment. A good breeder will begin crate training early, teaching the puppies that their crate is a safe and comfortable place to rest. This training not only aids in housebreaking but also helps your puppy learn to be alone without feeling anxious, making them well-adjusted and independent.
6. First Groom, Wash, Clip, and Nail Trims
   • Poodles have high grooming needs due to their curly coats, which can become matted if not properly maintained. A responsible breeder will introduce your puppy to grooming at an early age, providing their first wash, clip, and nail trims. This early exposure to grooming helps your puppy become accustomed to being handled, making future grooming sessions less stressful. Regular grooming is also essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your Poodle’s coat.
